Wheezy

LOL My director came to me and said: "Hey, so I'm telling you this.. I have 2 NetApp hard drives" LMFAO!!! Here we go guys. I'm now Network Engineer, Network Analyst, Net Technician, Net Architect, Cybersecurity Engineer and now Sys Admin. Let's Gooo!!!! oh boy

@thedatabunny Did you create a vlan for the APs and then just have an un tagged port on the gate ?

A FortiAp connected to a 2960x switch. It can be a little tricky, but it works. This site already has a Fortigate firewall as the wireless controller. Port on Cisco switch is in Trunk mode. The Fortigate is able to find it over the network if configured correctly

@thedatabunny Yes sir patience is vital here lol

@NetSecWheezy 😂 we already know how that’ll be. lol I’ll sit on the sidelines first 😆

As much as I work with Fortinet, I’ll wait before going to fortiOS 8. 😂 The Ai and agentic features seems nice, but yeah man lol

@BuddyNoLove The good old days lmao

I feel so old in here trying to explain to my 24 year old coworker about how we used to get prizes for reading books, and testing on them in the Accelerated Reader program 😂

@Network_Mamba Happens brother

Took down a portion of the network changing a port type smh yeah I’m gonna log off this pc for the night lol

@thedatabunny 🐐

Even though I’m not like, the Director of the IT department, I do make the final decisions when it comes to security and networking in the organization. If there’s a vendor we may be looking at that pertains to cybersecurity or networking, I’m in the calls.

@thedatabunny Really can be a blessing and a curse but opens the opportunity to learn so much

Or I should say, the best part about working in a smaller organization.

The fun part about having more freedom in environments is being able to research new solutions. It’s just suck because I have little time lol. I’m the only network AND security engineer here. I’m doing cybersecurity and network engineering 😂

Don’t forget about God when you get what you have been praying for.

Life is not a race against other people; it is a journey that belongs only to you. Everyone has a different starting line and a different destination. If you spend all your time looking at the lane next to you, you will trip over your own feet. Focus on your path.

I have made many mistakes, as many often do. But rather than dwelling on yesterday’s blunders, instead of punishing yourself over them today, remind yourself that this is part of life. Learn from error, grow from mistakes. And look forward to being better tomorrow.

One bad day doesn’t define you One bad week doesn’t define you One bad month doesn’t define you One bad year doesn’t define you Keep pushing and know it might take time for things to turn around. Believe in the me that believes in you and always forward.

@thedatabunny Spot on sir

Your negative mindset will destroy every chance you have at life. Every time an opportunity will come up, your ass will play yourself because of how negative you think. No matter what you do, negativity will always close the door in front of you. STOP IT!

@CrwnGlobalMedia Try MFA should help avoid these situations

Bro. They got me thru an email breach. I’ll go down a rabbit hole or two but attacking your email is no joke.

I hope y’all grinding out there. Screw the noise. Network with people, it’s one of the easiest ways to move through IT. Talked with someone that led me to another person.

One day we’re all going to look back and realize that God's timing was perfect, and everything happened the way it did for a reason. To protect us, to guide us and to redirect us to where we were always meant to be. Trust the process.

Neverrrrrrrrrrrr Everrrrrrrrrrr downplay your accomplishments. A job is a job. A car is a car. A house is a house. Dear son, Be proud of yourself and what you have achieved no matter what. You have to build brick by brick.

Your entire life will change the day you realize real confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you know failure is never final.

Tomorrow is Monday. I walk into this new week with peace no stress, no drama, no setbacks. Just back-to-back blessings and good news.
