  • I can’t get anything actually running!

    Most of my time in my sysadmin work is sitting there staring at the screen reading error logs about why some new product isn’t working.

    make sure you ACTUALLY have a solid grasp of networking. dig into the osi model or the 3 layer dod model. Go further than “yup. encapsulation. got it”. Look at the actual headers in layer 2 and layer 3. Figure out how packets get routed and how frames get forwarded. Look at how NAT actually mangles packets.

    Understanding hos the traffic flows will make troubleshooting much easier.
