Reckoning 2011 and Resolving for 2012

by Chris Grundemann on 23 January 2012

2011 was a fascinating year for me: I changed jobs, got divorced and fell in love (twice). I moved from the suburbs to the city and started riding to work. I was interviewed by Juniper, took 16 trips to 13 different cities, joined TheHundred Denver, and was kicked out of Canada. I started speaking more, working less, and spending more time with my kids. I published my second book, co-authored my first Internet-Draft, filed my first patent application, and re-discovered my spirituality. Oh, and I turned 30…

Interview on Junos Connect

by Chris Grundemann on 1 June 2011

I was recently flown out to Juniper HQ in Sunnyvale to record an on-camera interview about my two IPv6 Day One books for an episode of Junos Connect. Although the interview was completed in about 15 minutes after just 3 takes (two to be sure we had it, one due to someone walking through the [...]

Talking to Juniper about IPv6 and Day One

by Chris Grundemann on 31 May 2011

I was recently in Sunnyvale at Juniper HQ to record an interview for an IPv6 focused episode of Junos Connect (more on that laterhere). While there, Dan Backman and I recorded a couple of podcasts for distribution within Juniper. They’re not too overly boring so I figured I’d post them up here in case folks [...]

IPv6 Routing Deep Dive

by Chris on 29 April 2011

The 2011 Rocky Mountain IPv6 Summit was held in Denver earlier this week (25-27 April) at the Grand Hyatt. It was a great event, as we have come to expect from the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force. I was especially pleased that they stepped the presentation content up a notch with regard to technical depth [...]

Day One: Advanced IPv6 Configuration

by Chris on 27 April 2011

Day One: Advanced IPv6 Configuration is a sequel to my first book, Day One: Exploring IPv6, and picks up right where it left off. Namely with BGP. In addition to a fairly thorough look at BGP (iBGP and eBGP / native IPv6 peering and sharing IPv6 routes over IPv4 peering), the book jumps into a few of the additional and often overlooked aspects of deploying an IPv6 network. This includes a look into topics and tools including VRRP, ICMPv6 rate limiting, CoS, IPv6 path MTU discovery, DHCPv6, zero hop-limit, Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) and Duplicate Address Detection (DAD).

Brain Vomit

by Chris Grundemann on 19 April 2011

A quick search of the interwebs shows that I m not the first person to coin this phrase Brain Vomit, but I think it does capture my blog-writing style quite well. My blog writing style; it’s like puking on a canvas and then painting with it. You have little control over vomit, mostly it just [...]

JNCIE-M Lab Exam Q&A

by Chris Grundemann on 3 July 2010

Since my FAQ on the JNCIP-M continues to be one of the most popular posts I have written here on my blog, I guess it makes sense to compliment that with a similar FAQ for the JNCIE-M lab exam. For consistency, I will try and answer all the same questions I did for the JNCIP [...]

Ladid and Curran to Speak at 2010 RMv6 Summit

by Chris Grundemann on 8 March 2010

The annual Rocky Mountain IPv6 Summit (RMv6 Summit) put on by the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force (RMv6TF) is shaping up to be another great event this year. I attended both of the previous (2008 & 2009) RMv6 Summits and have thoroughly enjoyed every single session. I learned much more than I expected at each [...]

by Chris Grundemann on 31 December 2009

Wow! 2009 was a busy year for me! A few weeks ago I was trying to remember all that had gone on in my world this year: What directly affected my life? What did I accomplish? What did I leave to be accomplished next year (or beyond)? Where did I succeed and how did I [...]
