vagrant heath Jan 15, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

California Higher education+High school gets access to gigabit. (some even get 10gig). Most have the school name. else it defaults to that.

#

I think AT&T is the fiber provider if I rememember right.

rocky badge Jan 15, 2018, 11:03 PM

AT&T fiber is good anything else from them is bad imo

#

So how do you guys encrypt your network traffic?

#

I'm trying to use OpenVPN but it isn't cooperating with me

lilac zodiac Jan 16, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

I am a bit confused here... so my intuition tells me that if i have a fiber with 1gbit in it...both ways... That should be the broadband i can expect. So if lets say 10 people use the internet at the same time that would be split to approximately 100mbit/s each right?

But how come if this is the case ... how can it be that 80 appartments can share the same fiber... but still everyone gets 100/100?

This doesnt make any sense to me

lean pollen Jan 16, 2018, 11:05 AM

#

Not everyone can actually use 100/100 at the same time

#

That's how it works

#

Probably

winged moth Jan 16, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

for an appartment building where they're expecting to get 80 clients, it would be pretty cheap to put in 10Gb/s allowing most of those people to not really notice that they're getting split up. Peak hours, it will get saturated and some people will see issues, but it should still be pretty quick.

lean pollen Jan 16, 2018, 11:26 AM

#

Btw a company would get shit trown at then If you didn't get the speed you paid for fiber even on peak hours here. I think

lilac zodiac Jan 16, 2018, 11:58 AM

#

I mean, Technically there is an issue with 1Gbit/s on our WAN, but our switches are old and only certified for 100Mbit/s LAN... our Pf-sense router runs on a Dell PowerEdge R200 with 2x 1Gbit/s Full duplex. plugged into a smaller switch with SFP interfaces on WAN and on the Uplink to the 100mbit switches... In effect.. we should be able to run Gigabit/s - overhead, but we are bottlenecked a few weeks until we get our new gigabit switches included in the trunk.

#

Does any of you know of a 4 slot SPF+ switch?

#

just a small cheap one

winged moth Jan 16, 2018, 12:17 PM

#

I mean really. If you have like a 10Gb/s or 40Gb/s link and any hope of supplying it beyond the link back to your distribution point, you could have 100 people with "Gigabit" and would likely never see saturation. It would be like a dozen or more people trying to download at max speed to actually start to notable impact people who are just wanting to stream Netflix or Youtube or something.

#

I think there are some Netgear Prosafe switches with 1-2. I'm not sure if there are any 4 port ones. Generally it's 2 for high speed interlinks or a large number as it's going to be a backbone system.

lilac zodiac Jan 16, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

Yeah well I think i need it for future upgrades, since the PowerEdge R200 only has 2x Base1000Tx, so if i want to utilize a potential 10 gig wan link in the future i would need to be able to utilise an sfp+ port, problem is the stack uses 1 sfp on each port in the trunk. So a i am 1 port short. But it doesnt matter that much rn. In the end it might be better to just buy a new PF-Sense Router when that time comes. The builiding isn't wired with anything above cat5e anyway

#

It would be to provide that extra stability

#

I am not sure how it works either, but i was wondering if the problem could be solved by inlcuding the router in the chain link as a loop chain. or as the Wan entry point instead of between switches. I believe the last thing would be possible

#

For now though its just gonna be upgrading from 100mbit to gigabit.

Speaking of routers, I had to do a funny thing for a ESXi host (VM hypervisor) on a dedicated server, I had to create a pfSense VM with a fail over IP to provide internet and IPs to each of my VMs (because ESXi doesn't include NAT).
It was a funny but really complicated (and nearly undocumented) thing to setup.

#

And I had to also do some funny stuff to allow my VMs guests to have IPv6

high anchor Jan 20, 2018, 12:34 AM

Funny thing, you have to get an 2nd IPv4 for your server, one for ESXi host and one for pfSense
BUT
You could do it with only one IPv4 BUT it's a risky and hard thing to setup, you have to PERFECTLY setup your pfSense router, then set your IPv4 on the pfSense VM instead of your ESXi host and pray for your VM to show up then setup a VPN like setup to access to your ESXi host.

Definetly the funniest thing to do (spoiler, it's a lie)

SYS is very good when you need "small" servers (but "bigger" than KS ones) at good price, never had issues with them (well... only once, when RBX datacenter completly lost connection for an hour due to routers that, by themselves, lost their config from a bug)

keen sorrel Jan 21, 2018, 3:59 AM

#

@lean pollen I tried using just 5Ghz and even then it was just too little bandwidth for my preference for moving files between my rig and my NAS ended up figuring out how to run a cable through my attic using a drill and caulk because an good old cat 5e cable was so much better.

winged moth Jan 21, 2018, 7:48 AM

#

With AC 5Ghz is where a majority of the speed comes from. If you are the only client and you've got a Mimo 3X3 AP and a NIC capable of using that then you can get above gigabit peak speeds.

lean pollen Jan 21, 2018, 8:18 AM

@keen sorrel my WiFi card is a good WiFi card. I don't really transfer much files between computers in the house tho, I do not have NAS. But I did it once and found out that my router somehow is slower at transfering between two computers and from one computer to the internet.

I would probably get a NAS sometime in the future tho, but then I would probably get a small swiitch to Buypass The router sort of.

Putting ethernet cable down would where I currently have my setup to the router would require it to go through the floor and 3 rooms or something, go around the house on the outside.

carmine spindle Jan 21, 2018, 9:27 AM

#

Could be expensive then. Our house has no Ethernet points in any room. No idea how much it would cost to have a couple put in. What benefit would there be over power line adapters? less interference and perhaps slightly better condition copper wiring?

winged moth Jan 21, 2018, 10:52 AM

#

Powerline is pretty crap unless it's all on the same circuit.

#

Depending on the speed you want to get. There are some point to point wireless options. Like you could get a 900MHz point to point. It's limited to about 150Mb/s but it'll go through walls with no issues. You could kind of make hubs in your house using that. Have a point to point setup where your internet comes in, and then have the other side where your computer is and then try and centralize around those two points. It's possible to do point to multipoint, but then you would want to have the point of entry to your house be in a corner or something to allow the easiest coverage of your entire house.

#

Alternatively, get a high end access point like the Ubiquiti UAP series. You could also look at Meraki, and I think Microtik has a good line of access points.

Hello LTT gods. I'm currently using the original modem router I got from TalkTalk. I'm looking to upgrade to a standalone netgear modem (Need to buy) plugged into an airport extreme (Already have). Would this work or would I need a router as well? (For a family of 5, with Echo's and smart lights, as well as PCs and smartphones each)

rocky badge Jan 21, 2018, 4:39 PM

@warped aurora you will not need a router. The airport can plug into the Netgear modem.

networking isn't really my thing so i decided to ask the gurus here, is there an easy way to get networked storage done directly, cutting out the need to have it on, well, a network, all of my mass storage is on my server and in the space of the next few months im moving into a house share where we only have wifi and i don't really want to have to access my files over wifi as i like them hot and fast, is there a way i could use a 10gb fiber/ethernet card in both and do it closed so to speak?

Something you could do is get a switch and an access point capable of being put into bridge mode. Then you connect the access point to the wifi and plug it into the switch. You connect your computer/s and your server to the switch and then you have access to the network/internet and wired access to your server. Although this will share your server out with the rest of the network.

#

It's pretty simple to put an access point into bridge mode. It's in the same place as where you would configure the wireless options normally and you should be given an option to set it to bridge mode. From there everything would basically be plug and play.

#

@thick minnow ^^^
Also, it kind of depends on why you're stuck on wireless. I'm stuck on wireless where I live because I can't punch holes for a cable, so I'm doing the step up from what I described and I'm using a commercial point to point wireless solution. It provides an extemely stable high speed and fairly low latency connection for my computer and server. Although this option is more expensive it works very well.

#

However that option will require some research and a fair learning curve if you haven't do much with networking before.

Yesterday a known security vulnerability [CVE-2018-1000006] affecting Windows users of Electron based programs (like discord) was made public.

Electron itself has been patched, and some apps based on it (e.g. skype, slack) have already been patched. AFAIK, Discord has not yet been patched, nor have they even admitted that they suffer from it.

Scope of vulnerability: Windows (not linux or macOS) users who have installed the discord desktop app can click a crafted URL (perhaps obfuscated via e.g. tinyurl) which can cause download and execution of malicious code on their computer.

Scope of damage: Malicious code could in turn read user data and encrypt it (wannacry style) or farm passwords/bank-details/credit-card or other personal data that is not encrypted at rest and send them to other parties.

Defence: Do not click on any untrusted links. Do not allow webpages to open the discord desktop app.

Fix: There is no fix at this time. Presumably discord will incorporate an updated client in time.

Since this is electron based, any other electron app may also be affected. A list of all known electron-based apps are available here: https://electronjs.org/apps - note this is a list of all apps, not a list of vulnerable apps.

winged moth Jan 24, 2018, 7:20 AM

#

What I'm reading from that is that there might be malicious sites that you can get linked to from Discord. So as usual, don't click on suspicious URLs that someone linked you.

#

How is this different for anything else?

Yeah. It was on a building scale UPS so it was plugged into the wall and we had no reasonable way to move it from the site without powering it off. At which point we retired it since it had been out of prod for like 3 or 4 years at that point and was just kept running for the uptime counter.

So i am pretty novice when it comes to linking rack switches, and I have this problem where the DHCP server only works correcly on the primary switch, and for the secondary switch only IPv6 works.
Im using 2 Ubiquiti ES-48-500W switches connected by an SFP+ 10gigabit copper hotswappable 0.5m cable, and the primary switch has both wan and lan side of the pfsense plugged in along with the WAN fiber. I think the problem is related to me not knowing how to properly link the two switches so that the Pfsense DHCP server routes both switches.
Any Ideas what might be wrong?

#

sorry: the Primary is the problem secondary is fine

high anchor Jan 28, 2018, 5:13 AM

#

Be sure that your switches have their DHCP servers disabled (if they have one)

#

That could be your issue

lilac zodiac Jan 28, 2018, 5:13 AM

#

yes those are disabled

#

no idea

high anchor Jan 28, 2018, 5:18 AM

I just re-read everything and that would makes no sense if IPv6 is working...

Did you tried to manually set your IP and gateway on a client to see if IPv4 is working ?

lilac zodiac Jan 28, 2018, 5:19 AM

#

yes it doesnt

#

The wierd thing is i cant even connect to the switch guis from the primary switch

high anchor Jan 28, 2018, 5:21 AM

#

Yeah so there is some kind of issue with routing (from your switch or pfsense) or it could be some kind of interface issue, maybe pfsense doesn't listen to your sfp link

#

You can try to swap cables on your pfsense router and see if it switches which switch is working

lilac zodiac Jan 28, 2018, 5:22 AM

it does, yesterday it was the other way around

rocky badge Jan 28, 2018, 5:23 AM

Are you using SFP+ 1 to go from router or the other switch and SFP+ 2 to go to another switch?

@rocky badge I managed to figure out what was wrong with the IPv4! It turns out that i needed to split pfsense' 2 interfaces LAN and WAN into 2 different VLANs. So that the WAN Fiber linked in with ONLY the WAN Ethernet to pfsense, and trunking between the switches with tags. This way the Wan can be linked together without messing arround with the DHCP from the LAN side, effectively making 2 connections run with conflicting DHCP services. In other words I had to Isolate the Fiber WAN and Pfsense Ethernet WAN.

rocky badge Jan 29, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

Ah, great you figured out!

#

How did you find out?

lilac zodiac Jan 29, 2018, 2:27 AM

#

Remember you told me to put the old switch in? That didnt work, and I started to think about why that could be. During a game of overwatch someone mentioned isolation, which got me thinking that it might be the VLAN anyway, as i might have tried the wrong thing. So i found an old video clip on my phone where i had recorded the old setup, and by getting incontact with the old switch, i managed to reverse engineer that the wan side had been isolated. So i thought this might be it, I went back into the switches created a WAN VLAN, and set it to include the WAN ethernet and the Fiber, and on the default to exclude the 2 then i fixed the trunk, and the DHCP started to send out a bunch of leases. I called my assistant whom quickly replied: "I think you did it!" After a bit of testing i could not replicate the error. Im 99% sure it fixed the issue.

rocky badge Jan 29, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

Ah, ok 😄

lilac zodiac Jan 29, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

The reason why IPv6 worked im sure has to do with the fact that the pfSense does not do DHCPv6 it only relays IPv6 from the ISP, which means it only had 1 ipv6 dhcp connected.

rocky badge Jan 29, 2018, 2:32 AM

#

I don't do ipv6

#

Well, all of my windows machines don't use ipv6. Everything else is going through a 6to4 tunnel

lilac zodiac Jan 29, 2018, 3:09 AM

#

in principle they are the same... an adress for your mechines, but they are also very different, and im not 100% sure about how it all works, but since the bitrange is so much higher there are ipv6 adresses for everyone, so subnetting and local dhcp is unnessecary. Therefor the solution for us is to use passthrough.

I think I am

i momentarily forgot how confusing networking speak can sound

lol

lilac zodiac Jan 30, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

I dont know how you set it up, but for us the WAN IP was like 10 different ones... i had to look it up

agile basin Jan 30, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

I might play around with pfsense, so expect questions

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 12:52 AM

ignore this https://ryois.me/i/6498b3862.png

#

lol

lilac zodiac Jan 30, 2018, 12:53 AM

#

254... hmm

#

getting close to the Broadcast there

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

lol

#

its just 2 devices

lilac zodiac Jan 30, 2018, 12:55 AM

#

I like your thinking nobody would make algorithms for IPs that high xD

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 12:55 AM

#

im not. its windows

lilac zodiac Jan 30, 2018, 12:56 AM

#

really... ? I mean you sub it at the first byte

#

Or did you set the mask at 255.0.0.0?

#

or did windows?

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 12:57 AM

#

no its /32

lilac zodiac Jan 30, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

oh Im used to runnung /24

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

My home network is /24

agile basin Jan 30, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

Why not use /16?

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

and /23

#

for a different network

lilac zodiac Jan 30, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

because i dont have a billion clients

agile basin Jan 30, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

Fair point

lilac zodiac Jan 30, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

although i was about to wonder if should go down a bit, due to modern times

#

not everyone uses routers so the adresses are about to be to few if everyone had 4 devices active at the same time

#

but then i thought to myself... nobody has 4 active devices per avg.

#

not when they are students in small appartments

#

but Ryoi§ isnt the /32 reserved?

#

255.255.255.255/32 is used for broadcast right?

turbid frigate Jan 30, 2018, 1:28 AM

#

As a broadcaster, I have no clue what you are talking about. Usually we just have a storage and render server somewhere on the network with something like 172.60.32.10 as its IP

#

😛

elfin socket Jan 30, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

Also, I hear never reserve something to x.x.x.255 because thats used for overhead or error checking?
I assign my printers from 250-254

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

@lilac zodiac idk lol

#

Ok now let's manage vms and crap from an iPad...

vagrant heath Jan 30, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

.255 is the broadcast address. You can use 2-254 in a /24 (255.255.255.0)

foggy sand Jan 30, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

^

#

.255 is reserved for broadcast

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

I wish you could rdp into a hyper v guest os

foggy sand Jan 30, 2018, 2:10 AM

#

Also, the higher the amount of bits a subnet mask is, the less hosts you can have

#

For example, if you have a /30 (255.255.255.252) mask, you can only have 4 hosts, but on a /8 (255.0.0.0) mask, you can have 16777216 hosts.

vagrant heath Jan 30, 2018, 2:12 AM

Found it

foggy sand Jan 30, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

Generally you will find that /24 (255.255.255.0) provides an adequate amount of hosts for your network

#

Especially a smaller one that you'd like to expand in the future

vagrant heath Jan 30, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

And if you need anything lower then a /16 you would not be asking here

heavy meteor Jan 30, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

Why can't you RDP into your guests?

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

Yeah

#

Because they're not connected to my lan

heavy meteor Jan 30, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

ahh, then you can, you just have the vswitch set differently 😄

#

I had three switches setup in hyper-v. nat, vm only and bridge

agile basin Jan 30, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

I need a /1 subnet

#

for reasons

vagrant heath Jan 30, 2018, 2:15 AM

rocky badge Jan 30, 2018, 2:15 AM

I want these vms to be connected and going through pfsense

#

oof

heavy meteor Jan 30, 2018, 2:20 AM

is pfsense connected to your vm network and the lan?
