In the fast-paced and interconnected world of technology, network engineers play a crucial role in ensuring seamless connectivity, efficient data transfer, and robust network performance. As the demands on networks continue to grow, the importance of well-designed and optimized network infrastructure becomes increasingly evident. Arista Validated Designs (AVD) have emerged as a revolutionary framework that is changing how network engineers work, enabling them to create and manage networks with unparalleled precision and efficiency.

WAN Dynamics has been named as one of the world’s premier managed service providers in the prestigious 2023 Channel Futures MSP 501 rankings.

As network operators, we often face the daunting task of troubleshooting duplicate IP addresses on the network. This is an age-old issue that can turn into a tedious and time-consuming process if not handled efficiently. Traditional troubleshooting methods involve pinging the IP address and checking the ARP cache on the switch. However, Arista switches, with their Linux foundations, offer a more streamlined approach - the use of the "arping" command.

The ever-evolving world of technology has seen some remarkable developments over the past few years, particularly in the realm of networking. One company at the forefront of these innovations is WAN Dynamics, a company that has been transforming the way businesses manage their network infrastructure in offices, datacenters and the cloud.

Packet Captures or PCAPs are often necessary for network engineers to get to the root cause of issues in a network. As an esteemed friend and talented network engineering friend likes to say, “PCAP or it didn’t happen.” That said, getting a packet capture can be fraught with issues. How do you get mirrored packets for capture to a laptop or other computer that can review them onsite? Can you easily get a remote desktop session going to it? What if that host goes to sleep or goes offline for some reason? Is there a user that has the technical capability at the location in question to set up a capture?
