In order to ensure networks are efficient, we need to monitor all traffic flowing through the wire. There are many tools to help, but they all rely on being able to read and decode network traffic. When the network traffic is encrypted, these tools provide limited value.
Join this NDP-TV podcast to learn what a visibility architecture and packet broker are and how they can help you optimize network data capture and analysis.
Summary:
Network visibility is an often overlooked but critically important activity for IT.
When you consider the dreadful truth about food poisoning, you would expect a government-mandate for labeling the stuff we eat. There isn’t one. The FDA does require that baby formula have a “Use by…” date, but once you’re off the bottle, you’re on your own.
The lack of a legal requirement hasn’t kept food manufacturers from dating their products, but the systems they use, and the motives behind them, have only created confusion.
I always encourage technical staff to get comfortable at the command line. This is for a lot of reasons:
A great example is when teaching Wireshark, I spend time on tshark/dumpcap at the command line.
As part of troubleshooting, I always suggest we ‘clean-up’ and refresh or validate their documentation. I can’t remember how many times this simple exercise resulted in actually ‘fixing’ the problem. I love watching the look of confusion in the customer’s face as they mutter, “that’s not supposed to be connected to that”, “this was supposed to be decommissioned a long time ago”, or the ever popular, “who plugged this in?”.
