VXLAN and Juniper – the quick and dirty way
I made the VXLAN submit to my Juniper whims. I hope this is helpful to others doing a quick and dirty deployment like I was working on.
Six weeks and still going strong
Been a whirlwind of things happening (and to learn) at the new workplace and I’m still having a great time.
