Technical notes

Engineering notes, distilled.

A growing knowledge base for the concepts, commands and design decisions behind the lab — concise, practical reference material rather than copied documentation.

ROUTING

BGP policy and path selection

eBGP underlay design, import/export policy, communities and failure behaviour.

DATA CENTRE

EVPN / VXLAN

VTEPs, VNIs, route targets, MAC learning and the transition toward routed tenant services.

JUNOS

Junos routing & switching

Structured concepts, scenarios and CLI validation for enterprise Junos environments.

SECURITY

SRX segmentation

Zones, security policy, NAT, reachability intent and test methodology.

ACCESS

802.1X troubleshooting

Authentication flow, switch/ISE integration and the checks that narrow down common failure modes.

AUTOMATION

ZTP at scale

How zero-touch deployment fits into a real access-switch refresh rather than a perfect greenfield lab.
