Listener Feedback

From listener....Brian

Guys,

I was offered a permanent job at a car dealership to be a Systems Administrator for the dealership and partner dealerships. So in the upcoming weeks I might have some discussion topics about leaving my current job Sys Admin job and starting my new one.

Anyway, this dealership has a main office (with several “branch” main offices) and another office (with several “branch” satellite offices). The offices are all connected with Metro Ethernet. I read about this technology a while ago but had no idea it was actually in a production, let alone in my area. It is quite interesting how it works.

Have any of you been familiar with Metro Ethernet?
