Whilst recently recertifying for my LFCS the networking section had been further expanded and now included static routes. I thought this was fantastic. Though I know a lot of people use linux, I doubt many get down into the plumbing, and work with the networking on their machines. This is just going to be a little walk through of setting up a static route.

Static routes can come in handy for connecting environments with multiple networks. By using static routes, we can direct our traffic, and make sure the more efficient paths are being used.

I passed my Linux Foundation Certified Systems Administrator Exam a few weeks back. This was a recertification. Since I last took the exam the syllabus has been overhauled. Where previously you would choose between CentOS and Ubuntu, they have now gone for a vendor neutral approach.

I was hoping for the release of the new LFCE, but I fear that this is never coming. I did message the team a year ago and was told it was in development, but haven’t seen any update. This will be a future decider for whether to stay with the Linux Foundation or move over to the Red Hat certification track. As there isn’t any advancement, only lateral movement through the Kubernetes certifications.

I passed my Cisco ENCOR exam just over a month ago. I took it on the last day of V1.0. Thought I’d give an overview of the resources I used and how I found things. Obviously the Exam has now changed, so other resources maybe required.

I would read every morning as soon as I woke. This way I guaranteed that I covered something everyday regardless of what got in the way.
