First-day report to Virtual Network Solution Sdn. Bhd. Briefing by HR.

HR explained the main partner of this company is Huawei. I will mainly handle Huawei equipment therefore I have to study the Huawei Datacom Course this month.

# data[].attributes.body
The pantry of this company has a good view from the 20th floor with a lot of snacks and cold beverage.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the Terminal Bersepadu Gombak.

My supervisor brought me here to work on a project. We were mainly installing the Core and Access layer switches.

# data[].attributes.body
We surveyed the site.

Today our job scope is to install the core switch inside the box. About 90 kg, we couldn't carry it alone.

# data[].attributes.body
The core switch is very integrated. Everything can be managed by using Huawei NCE.

# data[].attributes.body
We have to open the wrap of the server rack and put it into desired location before we can install anything on it.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a Huawei server. The NCE system runs on this server. However, DHCP is handled by another DELL server to reduce the workload of this server.

# data[].attributes.body
This server is running in a stack to increase the fault tolerance. I learned that stacking cables have to connect in cross. This is an industry good practice

# data[].attributes.body
This terminal is not open yet but today management mentioned that is will be open by June 2024

# data[].attributes.body
A layer 2 switch looks similar, most differentiated by how many ports it has. 1 RU device can be installed without the rear tray. I wonder if is it stable.

# data[].attributes.body
I came to Menara Aims to handle a switch migration. But my only job is to do the labelling.

# data[].attributes.body
The Huawei Datacom course even provides videos with clear explanations. I have to complete the course when I am inside the office

# data[].attributes.body
We arrive here around 1 am and do the preparation. The device will go offline from 2 am until 5 am so we have to be quick. Working in server maintenance hours is a normal thing in this field.

# data[].attributes.body
Every cable from the device has to be labelled. The label has to include the name of the device on the other side and the port number as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Our customers only rent a dedicated rack in this data centre. The data centre is very well organized, we cannot simply pull our own cable, and every connection has to be planned accordingly to look clean and no waste (extra cable length).

# data[].attributes.body
Resort World Awana is also one of our clients. My company installed around a thousand access points here in every hotel room.

# data[].attributes.body
1 Room has 2-3 access points in Resort World Genting.

# data[].attributes.body
Backup power testing, Backup power is used immediately if the main power is down without interruption. The backup power is capable of running at least 30 minutes without main power.

# data[].attributes.body
We doing basic configuration to the core switch. Including AAA protocol and assigning VLAN

# data[].attributes.body
Installing Huawei Smart TV

# data[].attributes.body
Our company also provide business solutions such as meeting TV. This smart TV can share screens immediately. It also run its own Windows OS

# data[].attributes.body
Survey a data centre in Damansara

# data[].attributes.body
We have to record the details of every device in each rack. Including device model, brand, hostname, is it power on or off and also the IP addresses.

# data[].attributes.body
Testing every port before connecting the fibre cable ensures the port is functional. If any issue occur during migration the port problem can be excluded.

# data[].attributes.body
Even the step is easy, theoretically just unplug the cable from the old device, install a new device and plug in the new cable. But in reality, every step has to be done in phases and documents have to be prepared accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
We cut out and removed the previous cable before migration. This can done during office hours. Just make sure not to mis-touch the online cable and cause interruption to their service.

# data[].attributes.body
Climb up to the rack to pull the cable out

# data[].attributes.body
This is done by our other team called VNSe.

# data[].attributes.body
This rack is small with only 8 RU

# data[].attributes.body
We go RWG site to label the cable of all access the layer switch

# data[].attributes.body
The cable was too many so we took 3 days to finish labelling all the cable. The building consists of 7 floors, each floor has a server rack to connect every AP and other end devices on that floor.

# data[].attributes.body
food is too expensive here

# data[].attributes.body
The rack is not available yet so we just put the device on floor to test the power and connection.

# data[].attributes.body
This week me and a new staff, Kauselh do our job alone. Which patch all the cables fo the switch to the patch panel in levels 5, 6, and 7. Each floor consists of 4 server rooms called TCR1, TCR2, TCR3 and TCR4

# data[].attributes.body
The port in the patch panel which consists label means that it is connected to the end devices such as AP, security card, CCTV and also TV. We just make sure every port is connect to the access switch.

# data[].attributes.body
We done like this, the connection is based on one-to-one in order.

# data[].attributes.body
We have to ensure the uplink is up as well

# data[].attributes.body
I installed a TV in Mont Kiara with Afnan

# data[].attributes.body
With this stick, we can share the screen with the TV without connecting to any Wifi

# data[].attributes.body
Today is boss birthday so we ate cake and sing happy birthday in office.

# data[].attributes.body
Obtain after studying the course of HCIA-Datacom and completing their final exam

# data[].attributes.body
Obtain after studying the HCIA-Security course and completing their final exam.

# data[].attributes.body
There is not much I can help with the on-site job so I spend my free time in the office studying the Huawei course materials.

# data[].attributes.body
When no engineer asks me to join on-site I will stay in the office to complete the Internship project. Which is the lab 3 simulation. I did the lab several times to figure out the best way to implement the topology.

# data[].attributes.body
Our company hire contractors to work on the physical job. Our job here is to guide them on which cable to remove and the cable connection is within the building but sometimes on different floors. This enhances communication skills and team work.

# data[].attributes.body
We came here to troubleshoot their LAN issue with the connection to the newly brought Network attached storage.

# data[].attributes.body
Their warehouse is very big but they have only 1 server rack. We solved their problem by connecting the NAS to the switch instead of the router.

# data[].attributes.body
We collect unused SFP module for future use.

# data[].attributes.body
We clean another site today

# data[].attributes.body
The graphic card of this pc is faulty. I fix this problem by plugging the HDMI cable to the integrated graphic port of this pc.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a midnight job as well. This is a firmware upgrade project.

# data[].attributes.body
The firnware upgrade must be done in phase. Which we check to current connection of the device using Solarwind. We then upload the new OS and patch files to the device. Then, when maintenance hours reach, we execute a few command to upgrade the OS.

At this time the device will reboot. We apply the patch after the device reboot and record the log as proof. Lastly the Solarwind test is check again to ensure to down link after firnware upgrade.

# data[].attributes.body
We did physical maintenance of 6 devices on this site by cleaning the dust on the device, ensuring the airflow was correct in the data centre and not too high temperature.

# data[].attributes.body
This client rents an office and a small area of the warehouse. We surveyed the site to know where they are going to put their server rack (1 place in the office and another place in the warehouse)

The distance between the office and the warehouse is about 20 meters. They need to implement robotics to automate stock management in this warehouse. Our equipment have to avoid the robotics operations.

# data[].attributes.body
We went here by bus. 4 people handled 2 projects here.

The first project is to do a site survey and prepare a report.

The second site is Coca-Cola. They are migrating their layer 2 switches to Cisco Meraki Switch to increase management capabilities.

# data[].attributes.body
We will spend 4 days and 3 nights in Payar Lebar, Singapore.

# data[].attributes.body
2 days will be in Coca-cola, first day we do all the preparation including configuring the new switch and confirming the physical equipment is all prepared.

Cisco Meraki configuration can be done in the cloud even before the switch is online

# data[].attributes.body
We unplug the old cable then plug it into the new switch using the same cable. The port is fully utilized, we have to make sure the cable goes into the same port after migration. The problem we are facing is they don't do proper labelling of cable. So we help them to label it before migration.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the TVs couldn't receive an IP address after the migration. Today is Singapore National Day luckily so we don't have to work at midnight

# data[].attributes.body
Our client rents 2 racks in this data centre. On different floors, we spend 1 day for each rack to document everything. Other than hostname, IP, and device model. We have to record which cable is connected to where by doing tracing physically as well. It takes time.

# data[].attributes.body
I with other 2 interns in this company are assigned to do CCTV configuration in KLIA 1 and KLIA 2.

We will start to configure CCTV in KLIA 2 first from now on, this will take a lot of time we know because there are 3000 units of Hikvision CCTV waiting for us to configure

# data[].attributes.body
We will spend every day here configuring the below item to every CCTV

1. IP address

2. Default Gateway

3. Login Password

4. Video encoding H265

5. Video Channel Name

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes we have to help them to carry all the boxes too.

# data[].attributes.body
Our client Manager belanja us lunch here. I ordered an RM55 fried rice.

# data[].attributes.body
As we know, the old CCTV they are using does not support the new AI software for face recognization in the hardware layer. That is why they are replacing ALL CCTV in KLIA1 and KLIA2. This is a huge project.

# data[].attributes.body
3 of us can done 70 CCTV per day. According to this speed, we will end our internship doing this project.

# data[].attributes.body
We pay RM2.14 every day to enter terminal as staff (without passport)

# data[].attributes.body
Parking indoors costs us RM40 per day. Although it is claimable from the company. We often park at the outdoor car park.

# data[].attributes.body
I am lucky enough to enjoy a dinner before leaving this company. The signature dancing fish taste good!

# data[].attributes.body
We escaped the KLIA job for a while and my supervisor brought me here to configure a new switch.

# data[].attributes.body
This hotel has 4 floors. The server rack located only in G floor and 2nd floor.

# data[].attributes.body
This is AMC, we will work here from now on to configure CCTV in KLIA1 as here is near to KLIA1. We are currently done with all the lists they gave us in KLIA2

# data[].attributes.body
This is me carrying a PTZ camera. The content for this 2 months is less as I work the same job every day. I will try to provide some pictures for this logbook.

# data[].attributes.body
The parking here is free until the end of September. They only allow staff parking starting October.

# data[].attributes.body
The main Con of this project (G3/Cyberland) has a warehouse 20km away from KLIA2. We come here to take new CCTV.

# data[].attributes.body
Our VNSe team are working here at the same time on the video wall. They ask us to carry empty TV boxes.
