I am Back …

After spending a little over 2 months, I am back from the US. The trip went fairly well, got to see a new place. The only complaint is I didn’t get to go to Florida… I had this grand plan of driving to Florida, getting to Orlando, going around a few parks there (including Disney :) ) then from there going to Miami and then drive all the way to Key West; but this couldn’t happen cause I never found any one to go with me :(. But no complaints, I will probably go down there next time.

I think its time, I pen down all i have experienced in the US. I landed there on the 2nd of March, Simmy was supposed to be picking me up but unfortunately for me that day, it snowed !!!

I land at about 3 in the evening and then travelled about 40 miles to Alpharetta and checked in the Hilton nearby my office. Simmy and Reni were there to check on me, we sat there chatting for a hour or so then we decide to go out and pick some stuff out… basically, my first visit on the road in the US in Alpharetta… I was impressed by the snow. Though it hadn’t snowed a lot and it was also starting to clear out, I hadn’t seen snow in my life. (Yes… Never!!!)

The first week was fairly exciting, I had got my cubicle assigned and started to work. for the food, being a vegetarian by choice, I dint really have a lot of options… Thankfully for the Sub Way and Sai Murli (Indian restaurant) I did not starve to death. I did try some different cuisines, but every where I asked for Vegetarian, i wasnt given a lot of options, but I am glad they did have some stuff.

The first weekend, Reni, Vinny, his family and Me, all headed to do some shopping, we had hired a Pontiac G6 and drove down to the Northpoint Mall, did some shopping and ended the day with some Mexican food at the Ta Humata.

The next day we headed of to Chattanooga, Tennessee. This was interesting, we drove about 200 Miles, and visited the Tennessee Aquarium, Choo Choo train, River Gorge Explorer… It was amazing.

Another week of hectic work followed… after which I flew to Cincinnati, OH for a week on company business. I landed in Dayton Airport and travelled about 65 Miles to the hotel. After that week I came back to Atlanta, the night I was coming back was again one of the kind… I was waiting for about an hour to pick my luggage up after that I take a taxi and the taxi breaks down in middle of no where, then we call Buckhead taxi service and get me a ride back to the hotel, just to find out there there was some issue going on and i had to get on call, I slept only at about 3 in the morning.

The next few weeks were uneventful, Then one weekend, when spring was on it bloom, i walked about 4 miles around the place where i stayed and managed to get some pictures. It was really beautiful… at least the cherry blossoms.

Another weekend, Sam took me on a tour of Atlanta downtown and stone mountain, where i saw a laser light show. Pretty awesome !!!

Well… that’s it for now, will continue on the other stuff i did later…

Juniper Aggregate Interfaces (LACP/No LACP)

Image
Last week, I was implementing link aggregation on Juniper EX Series switches (EX4200). I was moving them off HP switches and putting them into Juniper. We were moving VMWare ESX boxes, NetApp and some physical boxes, though the configuration is very simple, I would like to mention how to do those with these boxes. Points to remember: You will explicitly need to create “Aggregated Ethernet” interfaces on juniper You cannot have more than 64 AE interfaces on a single Virtual Chassis You cannot change the algorithm for load balancing between the multiple links. (If you are interested in the Junipers LAG algorithm read this ) Now having said this, lets look at the common steps, you need to create the Aggregated Ethernet interfaces on the Juniper. root@EX4200#set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count  4 The above command will create 4 “ae” interfaces, after you commit, you should see ae0 – ae 3 created. You can have any value between 1 and 64 in the

HA Proxy for Exchange 2010 Deployment & SMTP Restriction

Hi ... Sorry I have been away for some time doing some stuff, so I hadn't got a chance to update my blog. I thought I would share my recent experience of deploying an Open Source "Linux Load Balancer" (HA Proxy -  http://haproxy.1wt.eu/  ). This Load Balancer is amazing ... I have been able to do so much with it in the past, here is one of the very simple and effective solutions (Cost wise & Performance) that we gave to the client using this ... I worked with a friend M L N Rao , who was helping me out with the Exchange front of things. Please read on to see .... I have tried to explain how to do it as well as why ... let me know what you think in the comments ... So, here is what happened, Our Exchange Team deployed Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 at a clients location and decided to go with MS-NLB. The MS NLB (Network Load Balancer) is a Load Balancer for different Microsoft products like IIS Servers/ISA/TMG, etc but the truth be told more pain than good for ne

Configuring Multicasting with Juniper EX switches (Part 1)

Image
Configuring multicast routing using Protocol Independent Multicast in a all Juniper environment is as simple as the Cisco environment, but when I searched, I dint find good articles or KB’s explaining this, so I decided to write one. I am fairly certain that if you have searched and arrived at this post, you know the basics of multicasting and IGMP, but yet, for the benefit of all readers, I will in brief describe the need for multicast. Please note, that this is just the IPv4 version of the story presented in a understandable manner and not all aspects of multicast are covered, but only the ones needed for this post. What is Multicast ? In IPv4 we have 3 kinds of packets, Unicast – One Source, One Destination Broadcast – One source and all destinations Multicast – One source and many destinations Now, all of us are familiar with the first one, we use it almost every minute we are on a network connected equipment. To, explain all this, lets choose different
