Anyone ever hear of the company Huawei? We are apparently moving from cisco to...Huawei?
EDIT: These are switches. Thanks @dafyre
That's like asking: "Have you ever heard of a company called Microsoft?"
Probably 20-30% of the tier 1 traffic runs on top of Huawei hardware. I've been reading some article about that a few months ago, but can't find the link right now. Anyway, Huawei is on of the major players in telco and networking.

Yeah I'm getting that impression now. I've never seen anything from them in any of my jobs. It's just an experience thing.

Meh, looks like there's no (up to date) RedHat repo that contains RabbitMQ... We just had this discussion. Will switch to Ubuntu Server.

While it's a yuck, yep. (Not a fan of Ubuntu Server, can you tell?)

Just ran the KnowB4 ransomware simulator. No vulnerabilities = feeling good about our security layers.

Do you use them for other stuff as well, or did you just download that program?

I haven't tried any of their other services yet. I know they have great user training, but when I signed up to do a simulated phishing test, their sales reps got a little out of hand with the calls and emails, so I backed out of that test. This is a program you download and run (even though they take your info to get it). I'm sure I'll get lots more sales calls now.

This was my experience as well.

I had the same experience, and asked them to back off, and they did.
They call me like once every 3-6 months now.

I did their phishing test as well and you are not kidding about the calls and sales follow ups. Good grief.

Doesn't matter if what I claim I want doesn't do what I claim that I want it to do... just want to bill the customer: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1950024-tplink-switches-lldp-configuration
I feel like this is the continuous attitude that I see there. Question why and people get all butt hurt. The truth is, his GOAL is billable hours, not providing a working solution. Oh it will work, but it will cost extra and not do what they sold the customer on. They know that VLANs are a quick way to make a few extra bucks providing something that customers can't see or verify or understand why they were sold it.
