I'm honored to be chosen as the NetBox Hero Award Winner in the Campus category. I cannot take all the credit, however. Alongside me is a team of 6 other amazingly talented individuals who have helped build and maintain Dartmouth's network automation processes since we started almost 8 years ago.

Q: Does Minis reduce the checking it does if it detects you're on a metered WAN circuit, like a cellular failover?

I had overrun the MAC CAM tables on some Catalyst switches and they were running in production for several months like that before they were retired. Very surprisingly, nothing bad/weird happened.

Well, I missed the start date... Will this be offered again / do you happen to have a calendar (didn't see one on your website) / Will this be an on-demand course at some point?
