Network Admin Life - Fiber Update

in this week's video, I continue troubleshooting that pesky fiber optic link.

the blue handles/bails on the SFP+s make me think you're using single mode fiber optics on multi mode fiber. Are you trying to go more than 300m on multimode fiber? Using LR optics on MMF might not be reliable.

Thank you for the videos!

I am currently in school for an undergrad in IT. I'm making the switch from HR and am trying to get myself mildly familiarized with "what to expect" beforehand.

I recently moved to the Central Valley/back end of the Mojave desert myself and this heat reminds me of when I was deployed 😆

Again, thanks for uploading and I will be sure to check out as many videos as possible.

Take care.

I'd order a Fluke fiber cleaning kit and clean all the LC ports and the patch cables on that link. Our old LV guy drilled into us that we should be cleaning ends everytime we unplugged/replugged something. A bit excessive, but it did fix funky fiber issues when they came up.

Do you clean your fibers? Even out of the box they can have dirt on it. (SFP can also have dirt)

New sub Sir. Thanks for sharing knowledge and experience with us.
Cheers from Uruguay.

New sub. Thank you for your videos. What do you think about the cisco ccst certification?

[lashdude]

So I'm a Datacenter installer. And if you unplug your fiber from the switch it should be cleaned before plugging it back in because it could easily fail once any dust hits it

Are your fiber risers MPO to a cassette with 6 duplex LC on both sides? I got those all through my buildings, and I’ve seen some weirdness with flakey MPO, flakey cassettes and of course dirty optics!

little things like that build experience for everyone who cant watch/learn

[MrShayjan]

Hi network admin
Are you using the same type SFP both sides?
Why are you using gigabit ethernet.?10 gigabit are supported 🤔
We stopped deploying MM fibers because of complexity of mange too many types

My question is, how did you learn to be a systems administrator? What kind of schooling did you have? Did you complete any online certifications?
