Hi Network Admin. If I may, I'd like to ask you something. First, it's really really good to see a real network admin daily routine (thanks for this), where we can see how you deploy IT infrastructure, cabling, switch/router settings, diagram, and all that stuff. I'd also like to know how is your IT crew, how many network admin you have, how you document technical stuff (configs, planning). Again, you're doing a great service for us your IT fellows.

I guess you could say we have 1.5 network admins. They hired me but it was more work than I could do so they hired someone to help me. There wasn't enough work for 2 network admins so she got put onto other projects. Now she is my boss. :-) And she's a very sweet person I enjoy working for and with her. So now she splits her time between supervisorial work, helping the server team (2 server guys) and helping me when I need it. There are 4 total in the infrastructure group (that's us). For documentation we use a mix of Visio, Excel, and Word. I also use Intermapper to monitor my network and it also does most of the documenting because of it's graphical nature. Hope that answers your questions. God bless!

Nice video. Looks like you have a mid to large network. It's good to see other network administrators real life around. When I have a problem like that, I check the graphics or history of the power TX and RX of the fiber, Next the first instrument I use is an OTDR, ( I hope you have one ) . I noticed the links are MM, don't know why. I use SM if it goes out the premise. You showed the stacks, but do they have redundancy? I guess they do because of the flapping.

@NetworkAdminLife

2 ай бұрын

I do not have an OTDR unfortunately. The engineers that installed the fiber do have one but they've lost most of the attachments that came with it. Sheesh. So I have to just rely on my phone telling me light is coming out the end of the fiber, and a few switch commands that tell me the dB loss the ports are seeing. We use OM4 predominantly because all our fiber runs are here on campus. However, we have a few closets that are waaaay out there and are in the process of running single mode to those locations. But as with everything, this takes time and budget to accomplish. God bless!

i usually put in a new fiber patch cable - good luck and great videos
