Hey first off kudos to you on getting your CCNA as that is no small task starting out. It's also an accomplishment for you to already have a job that's providing you with relevant IT experience. While the job you hold may not be your end goal, I'd suggest using it to continue building your IT experience for your resume. If you find your current role easy, well that's even better because now you can really leverage the downtime you get at work to pursue the next certification or developing the skills needed for your ideal future job!

No problem at all, I'm glad to hear you found it useful!

This would be correct this demonstration is for how you'd configure bgp on a non-firewall device

On a firewall you'd need to also ensure the correct security zones and security policies are in place to permit the bgp traffic between the neighbors

I honestly put in a couple of grand in studying and paying for the cost of the exams and study materials. I definitely recommend using the self study bundle in preparation of the exam.

Oh that's nice, yeah I believe the vQFX image had been decontinued and replaced with the vEX (vjunosswitch). It's alot easier to use since you only have to spin up one device as opposed to two.

My pleasure!

Thanks for watching! This video is actually part of a series on the channel where I dive into different aspects of networking and IT careers-feel free to check out the rest for more insights. In short, a network engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining computer networks. This includes configuring hardware like routers and switches, ensuring network security, troubleshooting issues, and optimizing performance to keep data flowing smoothly. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I'd say we are wizards, witches, and sorcerers...to a degree. My office reaks of black magic and unicorn sacrifice each day I leave work. 😅

I'd say the VB99 is right in the sweet spot in terms of the weight trade off and battery performance, though this really comes down to your individual weight preference. If you're seeking something that's extremely minimal and lightweight go for the vb50. However, if you willing to sacrifice a little bit of weight for extended battery life without carrying around multiple batteries go with the vb99

You are correct

Nice, glad to hear you found the video helpful

Hi, what challenges are you facing in preparing for it?

Yep, similar to that of a laptop charger

What fuels your interest in networking?

I didn't, I completed the CCNA before pursing the CCNP. Back at the time the CCNA was split into two parts: ICND1 and ICND2. If you passed the first one then that qualified as your CCENT, and completing the second half gave you your CCNA. The certificate program I went through at MTC (community college) for routing and switching gave me a good foundational understanding of networking however for more advanced concepts that were covered on the CCNP I self-studied using CBT nuggets and virtual emulations software's like Packet Tracer, GNS3 and EVE-NG

Hey yeah so I didn't realize this at the time of recording this video but since then have tested that, using the built-in arca swiss plate on SmallRig camera cages for the fx30 and s5iix and it works flawlessly without needing to add in the extra arca swiss mounting plate. Thanks for point that out for the folks in the comments and happy holidays!

I appreciate that!

How is EVE installed? What was set for the gateway address, is this the same as your laptops gateway?

@@prashantmjalskar8198 haha yea lost my voice for second 😅

Glad to hear that!

I appreciate that Zoltron! Typically you'd want to place your firewall, (in this case the SRX320), between your internal network and the internet, so the recommended path would be (Modem > SRX > C1111). This gives your firewall the ability to intercept threats attempting to enter your network. You could configure the firewall to be the gateway and do NAT & DHCP, or you could configure it in SecureWire mode in which acts as a bump in the wire and the modem and router don't even realize it's there. This would mean all the routing and services you configured on the C1111 could stay the same. I hope this helps!

@jongreenit Thank you for the idea. Really enjoy the content.

@@zoltron30 No problem!

Wtf. 2025. For real. That's too late.

Good stuff, hope you enjoy and yes the SSD is upgradeable!

It a pleasure to help others by shining visibility on the hurdles that initially weren't so clear to me when I got started in the field

@@yingqiangli6026 You're welcome

No problem!

Thanks, yeah it would of been nice if the port for the EVF mount on the BMCC 6K was usb-c instead of some proprietary connection. This would've given me hope that in a future update the pyxis monitor may have been a valid option, unfortunately i dont think its likely. Though I have heard that there may be a future mod coming out for the 6K FF model.

@@jongreenit cool! I always wonder why the screen was not detachable since it's so nice and it would not take a lot of effort! They could do it for the Pyxis too!

@@biskero I'm not sure, It's odd being that the release date for the BMCC 6k FF and Pyxis wasn't too far apart. Perhaps they'll consider it in the next generation of pocket cameras.

No control over the camera settings

I’m sorry but this looks ridiculous. Instead of spending hundreds to DYI modding your camera and paying for a LIDAR focusing system - just buy a Sony FX30 and never look back.

It really just comes down to your workflow. I won't knock the FX30's build quality, small form factor, or impressive autofocus. However, I do know for my use-case this rig transforms the pocket 4k into a complete portable self-filming studio package. Typically, I'd place a 5-inch monitor on any camera just to get a better idea of what I'm looking at. Whereas it can sometimes be difficult to see what you're filming on the 2-inch flip-screen display found on most mirrorless cameras. Also, access to the Blackmagic's simplistic menu system on the bmpcc4k is an added bonus. The ability to record externally to an SSD speeds up my post-production workflow when it comes to video editing whereas this feature isnt supported on the fx30. If I wanted to leverage XLR inputs on the FX30 I'd need to invest in a huge top handle or expensive external recorder like the atmos ninja or the video assist, in my case the bmpcc4k comes with a mini XLR port built-in. The ability to record in RAW also comes in handy, ensuring that if the scene I shot in wasn't properly exposed, I can always go back and correct it in post-production. Not trying to sell you on the mod but those are the reason why I find this rig convenient.

​@@jongreenit Did you know the FX30-and pretty much every mirrorless camera-already lets you wirelessly monitor your Sony camera's image and settings via the "Monitor & Control" app on your phone or iPad? Shocking, I know. And about that XLR handle you're so concerned about: it's not exactly the Jolly Green Giant. It's available for purchase with the FX30 and comes standard with the FX3-as any sane camera package would offer. Recording RAW on a Micro Four Thirds sensor isn't going to rescue you from bad lighting choices. It's also hilariously overkill when you consider the privilege of buying, rigging, and lugging around SSD storage for this monstrosity-when swapping out an SD card would be a revolutionary alternative. My gripe with this rig is that you're making way too many concessions for a 2018 camera that was never meant to endure this kind of misuse. And you're using a DJI mic, even though Sony offers a smart hot-shoe accessory that enables digital audio passthrough. It connects the DJI Mic 2 receiver directly to a Sony camera's MI shoe-eliminating the need for that vintage 3.5mm TRS cable. In short, this workflow makes zero sense financially or operationally. But hey, if inefficiency is your art form, who am I to judge?

@@ethanmitchell7753 tbh as good as the fx30 is, I'd never get one. The Bmpcc4k is just that good, the only real step up I would see is from the fx3

Yes sir

Hi, there may be an automatic setting though I'm not sure I typically shoot using manual exposure

Yes both cameras have this option available though I'd say currently Sony E mount has more lenses available since it's been around longer than the L-mount.

@@jongreenit more lenses mean much beacause both mounts have the all the typical lenses found on any mount. specialty and niche lenses rarely means much

@@kingcutttt exactly

@@shashwatmisra7323 This configuration supports multiple vlans. How are you testing?

Cisco 9500 with ex4600

On trunk also it's passing only one vlan only

@@shashwatmisra7323 do you mind pasting in a sample of the configuration
