Hey, I did some OS/2 network driver for SNA over X.25 card using a PRI =D. But its all a question of workflow... Fake busy work created by devices/apps battling for your attention ain't my cup of tea. ----- Alain Hebert ahebert@pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul. St-Charles P.O.

Hi,
I'm of the opposite view... front-end shiny GUI's are the risk. I'd babysit them before I let them leave the house. For a long time. Children of the magenta line...
Most of the more effective troubleshooting techniques will require some sort of CLI or CLI-like output. In times of crisis, you'll want to be able to type "show ip bgp summary", instead of waiting for your browser to send a javascript request to a server, the server to run a python script invoking netmiko to log onto a node, grab the output, reformat it, have it sent back to your browser and rendered.
Not to mention that, like pilots, network engineers need hands-on time to stay effective. Planes have crashed because pilots lost it and relied on automation (Asiana 214, anyone?).
That said, as a soon-to-be-dinosaur, I try to keep up with the latest and greatest. I don't want to run the risk of becoming an ATM engineer.
Thanks,
Sabri
