Transform your cybersecurity strategy with CompTIA ’s industry education courses for MSPs Managed service providers (MSPs) seeking to elevate their cybersecurity credentials can turn to CompTIA and its industry education program for help. Four video on-demand courses on cybersecurity opportunities that can help MSPs grow their businesses are available through the CompTIA Member Learning Portal. The courses are led by CompTIA Community members with extensive cybersecurity and MSP experience. “An important part of the cybersecurity equation for many organizations is supplementing internal staff skills with outside expertise,” said Stephanie Morgan, PhD., CPTD senior director, member education, CompTIA. Approximately one-third of companies utilize either specialized cybersecurity providers or partners that provide a variety of technology services, according to CompTIA’s “State of Cybersecurity 2025” report. “Our courses can help MSPs, especially smaller firms, leverage these opportunities by adding more cybersecurity-focused offerings to their portfolio,” Morgan added.

🚀 Network Design in Action: Connecting Teams with Precision! 🚀 I’ve been working on a comprehensive network design project to support seamless connectivity, growth, and security across multiple departments and locations. Designing this architecture required careful planning and attention to diverse requirements, including a variety of team needs and future scalability. Key Highlights: Optimized Connectivity: Designed for 4 main departments and 4 branch locations with both wired and wireless options, ensuring high-speed access and scalability. Subnets & VLSM Implementation: Strategically planned subnets with VLSM to double IP capacity, enabling seamless future expansion while keeping networks efficient. Enhanced Security: Incorporated firewalls and access control lists to secure interdepartmental traffic and control internet access, with additional public IP integration. Scalable Server Allocation: Provided dedicated servers for Accounts and Personnel, plus general servers to centralize resources and simplify network management. This project underscores my skills in network architecture, subnetting, and firewall configuration for secure, high-performance environments.

TechNote, Rant: Cisco VPC (Virtual Port Channel) - Love and hate story For those don't know what VPC is, please skip, good for your mental health. For those worked with VPC from day one, this is for us. For those don't care about own mental health: Virtual Port Channel is a Cisco invention of providing layer 2 redundance across two independent layer 3 switches. Simply to say, you can connect to two Cisco switches with one EtherChannel. Since the layer 3 switches can be serviced/rebooted individually without lose connectivity to the hosts connecting with VPC, it is taunted as a great technology for data centers. VPC is advantageous comparing with the stacking (hardware stacking or soft sacking-VSS and alike) technology. When using stacking, the two layer3 switches sharing the same control plane, in case of upgrading, you need to reboot both switches which will cause interruption to the host connecting to them. Put aside the buggy ISSU aside. The picture of VPC is really rosy on paper. In reality, it has caused so much of pain for people deployed VPC, especially for those deployed them in day one and used them to support complex technologies. The first proof of the complexity is that the VPC best practice runs 129 pages. The seconds proof is that there are hundreds of bugs that were related to VPC. And initially, it alters the functions and protocols of ARP, HSRP, Routing, Multicast and the operations of many others. In my opinion, VPC doubles the design of the data center network. VPC is a key technology that Cisco sticks with for the data center product so we need to live with it. The good thing is that Cisco has improved both hardware and software implementation of VPC and many issues have been addressed along the way. The part I love of VPC is that it really complex and maybe created more jobs for the network consultants. LOL... What I hate it is that it kills so many of my brain cells. Any time we introduce a new function or protocol to our network, we always need to check the compatibility with VPC. And VPC is not IETF standard, so it is hard for us to argue with Cisco if we think they did something wrong. LOL. With all kidding aside, one take away for me is: Independent layer 2 redundancy is so important and so hard a challenge to resolve. I wish to hear your opinions and stories on VPC.
