Notes from the workshop
What we specify, why, and what tends to go wrong.
Choosing an access switch: the four questions that decide it
Port count is the easy part. PoE budget, uplink capacity, stacking and license tier are what people get wrong — and what costs money to fix later.
Why a Wi-Fi 6E rollout still needs a site survey
More spectrum does not fix bad placement. What a predictive survey catches before the access points are mounted.
Segmenting a hotel network: guests, PMS, POS and cameras
A flat hotel network puts your property management system on the same broadcast domain as a guest laptop. Here is the layout we deploy instead.
Planning around end-of-support dates instead of reacting to them
Hardware that is out of support is not just a warranty problem — it is a security and insurance problem. A simple register keeps it manageable.
