I really enjoy hearing from people who read or watch my videos. The feedback is usually very helpful with next article ideas, requests for clarification or help, and most importantly things I may have missed to cover in the article or video.
A great example is when I posted the article “Testing Edgerouter load balancing“ (https://www.networkdatapedia.com/post/testing-edgerouter-load-balancing) . if you didn’t see it, I did a simple video and short write up explaining how I implemented fail over on a Ubiquiti router.
A few people asked if I had tested what would happen if the link was physically up but no data on it. Fortunately I had started that lab, video and write up but nice to know we were on the same mental page.
In this video, I cover this scenario, where I disconnect an upstream connection so the router link status is up but no data flow.
I used this Ubiquiti page to configure my router https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/205145990-EdgeRouter-WAN-Load-Balancing . The article does a great job explaining the commands, etc..
On this first episode of the "I LOVE Network Testing" livestream series Mike Pennacchi (Network Protocol Specialist) will talk about:
• SFP types and their differences
• How to test the output of SFPs that will be used in production
• Plus, more!
