The CK Daily – Redefining Rest
Happy Wednesday!
Gotta be honest, I’m tired. It’s been a long week already and I’m just pure exhausted! As I was driving back from an appointment I was thinking about what it means to really rest. I’m know that rest looks different for everyone, but I was thinking to myself, what does rest actually even look like to me? And really, I’m not sure! I think most of the time, it’s not working or thinking about work on the weekends and actually getting sleep at night…but both of those things are tough to accomplish.
What does rest look like for you? How do you rest and make sure you’re fueled up for the week? Would love to hear your thoughts/suggestions!

Learning Center Article – What is Cisco Virtual Stacking and How Does It Work?
Large, fast networks have to connect powerful switches in order to function properly. It’s the best way to create fast, reliable connections, and the backbone of any significant network is wired, one way or another. Connecting a bunch of switches comes with its own complications and challenges, and one of the great struggles in network design is configuring the switches so they can operate efficiently across the whole network. Traditionally, switch stacking is an invaluable tool for this purpose, as it simplifies the network and network management. These days, you can do one better with virtual stacking.
