Network and security admin here, at 17:01 can confirm. Exactly why I make backups before I make weird, possibly breaking changes. Also so happy most enterprise grade network switches forces you to to a copy running-config startup-config to save any changes. So worst case you just run really fast, unplug it, and plug it back in. (and then wait 5 minutes for it to power up making the running part a little stupid) Also yes, Router should be at the top if it's rackable. Our order is Router Core MDF switch o3x office switches rack with random ISP crap 3x big ass battery backups which we could scale down now since we have a generator now. Our patch panels are in a separate rack next to this.

@Thats_Mr_Random_Person_to_you Год назад

@@denxos TL;DR many many years ago just after opnsense forked from pfsense due to dev disagreements the then leader of the pfsense team started doing a whole smear campaign against the opnsense devs to the point of cybersquatting the opnsense domain (ie they boight it before the opnsense devs could) and hosting a webpage smearing opnsense and talking up pfsense. A court forced the pfsense dev lead to hand the domian over to opnsense and there was a bit of a change of leadership team at pfsense. But it was just such a douche move that it STILL hangs over their heads years later, and as such when looking at the two options I refused to support pfsense. Opnsense is also more 'open' license wise but thats only of marginal benefit.

On the other hand, I would love to see a series where these guys clean up the server room and that mess inside. Maybe move the storage to another room and have the internet there or just expand the whole room and just go balls to the wall like they like to do.

@tams805 Год назад

The problem is that the return on that investment is going to be very low. The space needed and the disruption it would cause would be significant. And while they spend a lot of on other stuff, things like Creative Warehouse produce profit on each product sold. A better server room with better equipment (that they often don't pay for) would only really offer savings, not generate revenue.

@MostlyPennyCat Год назад

I built my own router back when you didn't have a lot of choice. We'd just got a 1 MEGABIT connection and routers weren't a thing outside Cisco and businesses. Spec was: Pentium 75 32mb EDO RAM Dual Intel PCI 10baseT NICs Dual 1.44Mb floppies for the boot ROM (LRP Linux), giving us QoS and OpenVPN on top of routing and MAC spoofing. I think it was about 25 Years ago.

@rybaluc Год назад

@@MostlyPennyCat 25 years ago wasn't even openvpn. Must be added later. It's sad that back in those days i not even had flat rate landline and had to visit school which had just 32kbit circuit. Cost was about 300$/month. But still cheaper than dialup ( we never got real flat rate possibility).

@MostlyPennyCat Год назад

@@rybaluc Uh, maybe we added openvpn a few years later. First we had a 1.44mb floppy "ROM" Then, I added another floppy which gave us enough space to add TCP/IP QoS to keep latencies down for gaming and browsing even when using the megabit for downloading through Traffic Shaping. That also gave us enough space to run a local DNS cache which, at the time, gave us a massive perceived boost while web browsing. I suspect it was only later that we added OpenVPN routes to each others houses.

@@rybaluc I'd just graduated from University in London. The technical universities, like Brunel, had access to JANET, the Joint Academic Network.

I love OPNsense. I swapped to it as my first "custom built" router earlier this year after rocking an ASUS RT-AC3200P for a few years, which is now just my AP. I'm still only using the dual gigabit ports on the SuperMicro motherboard, one for WAN and one for LAN, but I plan to upgrade to 10gbit eventually. I think I have two full 16x slots available.

@RK-tx5lb Год назад

In time, i also want to upgrade to 10Gbit, but it's still a bit too expensive to do that now. Besides firewalls and routers, i will have to replace at least 8 gigabit-switches and, to obtain full bandwidth, upgrade all cabling to cat7 or fiber. So, i wait a bit for prices to drop some more.

I actually went straight for OPNsense and skipped pfSense when I setup an old R210II as a router for the homelab mostly due to WireGuard support at the time. Nothing to brag about compared to that beast of a router, but it is interesting seeing hardware like that and more people switching to OPNsense!

@zyeborm Год назад

r210's were a cool form factor. The shallow depth on them is afaik still unmatched by anything in dells current lineup. I had a whole company running off a pair of those running ganeti as a VM host all sitting in a wall mount rack. Was awesome to live migrate and screw around on ones hardware while there were still users running RDP and phone calls live through the asterisk VM. Came in really handy when they had a hardware failure once and the "next business day" service was more like "the next few days" I could have pushed and they would have made it out at like 7pm but meh everything was still running lol.

@toodarkpark Год назад

Same, I went OPNSense on my personal network after deploying many PFSense boxes to other companies. Why? The leadership at Netgate are petty, childish morons. I don't have time to put up with that. Frankly it is embarrassing. I am very happy with OPNSense. It is better in many ways, and just as good in most of the rest. The community is smaller, but much of the PFSense community solutions apply as well. And the leadership are not dicks. Bonus.

If you have the correct version of the Supermicro IPMI, you should have been able to just check the power draw via the web interface. Not sure if your old model has that feature though.

I ran into the same dilemma when I was on Pfsense where feature parity was slow and updates seemed to be only when the OS gets its major update, but as you said, parts like the underlying OS may still not be updated to the latest. I had used both but switched back to Opnsense for faster updates and security patches as well as support for the latest drivers/features. Not looking back. Glad to see you came to the same conclusion pretty much.

Would love to have a full tour, with animations to help with understanding, how the LTT servers, routers and switches are set up. Most of us have little to no idea of what a enterprise level of networking should look like. All I have at home is a really old 10-gig fiber to 4x 1-gig RJ45 router, which is reasonable for 1 gig internet. Then one port goes to IPTV(internet TV), one to chained WIFI, another one directly to my computer and the final one goes to a 8-port switch that covers all ethernet panels, which are probably never plugged into anyway. And this is already overkill for daily use like gaming and browsing, only time I use 1-gig is downloading from steam or providing a download from my NAS for a friend
