Ok, I've just googled the question and the answer is : Yes, but only with IKEv2 (which is available on my ER-X and my pfSense VM) so I should be able to do something !

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 3:15 PM

#

Nice. My whole setup, VPN server for inbound connections and VPN router for outbound connections are all VMs.

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

Shit. My whole setup is one RPI3b, and ASUS RT-AC51U

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

I want to get a pfSense VM for more advanced stuff, but right now Turnkey Linux VMs are getting the job done.

high anchor Aug 30, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

I could easily setup some VMs to to the trick on one of my PowerEdge R510 but at 220ish watts at idle, it would definitely be overkill imo

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

I mean - that RPI3b and my router is doing the job for me

#

RPI's handling the dhcp, dns cache, and my home AD DC (on samba4)

high anchor Aug 30, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

I have a PowerEdge R510 handling Steam cache, a small samba storage (it have about 4TB of storage) and some other random stuff (including some Docker containers for Ubiquiti UniFi and UNMS)

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

small samba storage(it have about 4TB of storage) yeez

high anchor Aug 30, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

I say small because I don't have any use for it ^^'

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

My experience using a RPI for remote network access is that they freeze up kind of often.

high anchor Aug 30, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

And I just told you for the one which is already setup, but I also have another 4TB PowerEdge, another at 3TB and another one at 1TB ^^'

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

Chrizzle, that's why I'm not seting up the VPN on the RPI - I'm doing it on the router (and offloading the router, with rpi)

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

I see that now that I re-read your comment.

#

I wanted the Pi to work for phone-home type scenarios.

high anchor Aug 30, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

Look at all those servers (which only costs me... a bottle of Jack's)

#

You can try to find something more powerful than rpi, with the same form factor

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

I don't have any pics here at work, but I use a stack of old think center desktops running proxmox for my "servers". I use the term loosely.

high anchor Aug 30, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

I may use a Intel NUC (those higher grade ones) as a NAS one day, even if it was my first plan for a VPN gateway, but they are expensive af (it would have cost me less to use one of my PowerEdge for this, including electricity, if noise wasn't an issue...)

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 3:37 PM

#

I don't have any racks and the primary space of all my gear is on a desk, so size + noise is an issue too. Fortunately desktops stack on top of each other 😃

#

I use a low end NUC for my HTPC. It's slick, but an unforeseen issue is that my toddler loves to steal it. So it spends a fair amount of time in a toybox.

#

The bright blue light on the power button gets him every time. Like a moth to a flame.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 4:23 PM

#

can you share a nas between 2 subnets with only 1 NIC?

high anchor Aug 30, 2018, 5:52 PM

#

With some manual routes and IPs it should be feasible

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 5:52 PM

#

There are a number of ways depending on your network.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

like to be able to use your nas on the security camera subnet and on the other pc subnet

rocky badge Aug 30, 2018, 7:12 PM

#

@high anchor I need to setup proxmox on my server 😄

#

I wish I had some more servers 😄

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:33 PM

#

@subtle glen
If you have a managed switch you could do vlans. Put the NAS in both the internal and camera vlans.

if your cameras are on the same physical wiring as your NAS, just with a different IP schema, you can just add a second IP to the NAS' network interface.

If your camera network and your internal network share a router (like the Edge Router mentioned above) you can also allow traffic between the router's network interfaces with some firewall rules. I did something similar years ago with OpenWRT.

#

but TBH adding another NIC is often the simplest solution.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:34 PM

#

unfortunately for now i will be using a nas box

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

Firewall rules it is 😃

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:39 PM

#

it would be something like this. (there are other devices and switches but they are not relevant)

📎 schematic.png

#

Paint 😀

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:42 PM

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

LOL 😃

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

do i also need to add the phone line cabinet/the isp/the backbone to the exchange point etc

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

I only say that because I am in network design hell with Proxmox and bonds and vlans.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:45 PM

#

just use paint

#

if it's too complicated ill just use that nas or something else only for that camera

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

It's more the conceptual part. Binding interfaces together for speed/redundancy and then splitting them back up with vlans.

#

do you need the camera to talk to the internet?

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

for remote access i would say. Or have it locally and remotely connect to it via vpn (as soon as i get better internet speed)

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Or use SSH to tunnel to it.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

🤔

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

Put a RPI or a VM somewhere and forward a port to it. You can open ports with it that will use the tunnel. Dynamic, local, and remote.

hallow nimbus Aug 30, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

SSH good things

#

😄

clear igloo Aug 30, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

Telnet all the things!

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

YAY

#

this nas has a SSH feature tho

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

It's a Swiss Army knife. I use it to tunnel Remote Desktop, VNC, browser traffic, you name it.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

i forgot my VNC password for the pi

#

YAY

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

SSH will let you do the top 20% of the things that you would use a VPN for about 80% easier.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

I guess you have to open port 22 on the router right?

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

If your ISP will let you. any TCP port that you can remember will work tho.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

and then connect to the NAS (in this case) using your public ip?

#

and route the port 22 traffic to the nas ip?

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

Yup. Or use a high numbered port and forward that to port 22 on your nas.

#

There are a lot of things that scan for port 22.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

can i choose any number for the port?

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

not just your ISP.

#

yup. I like to use a variation of 22. like 22222

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

or 8357875 ?

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

TCP/UDP ports top out at like 63 something.

#

sorry, 65536

#

I knew there was a 3 in it somewhere 😃

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

you mean that after 65536 you are sure nothing uses the port you choose?

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

anyway, if you pass port XX on your router to port 22 on the static IP of your NAS you should be all good.

#

I have no idea what happens after port 65536. But I bet your firewall software will throw an error if you specify something higher.

#

unsigned intergers and whatnot.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

yeah the tab where you put the port becomes red

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

I'm sure that was a "64k ought to be enough for anybody" type of decision. like IPv4.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

"connection refused" thats a good sign 😄

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

you using *nix ssh or putty?

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

an app on the phone to simulate an "outside world" request

#

maybe that's why

rocky badge Aug 30, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

Your ssh server is either not listening on 22, or the port you're using, or not configured

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

lets see

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

Does the app let you specify a port?

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

yeah

#

i probably did something wrong

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

😃 story of my life!

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

hehehe

#

or just wait for fiber and use a vpn

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

I use VPNs too. they just take a lot of preparation.

#

SSH is great for those times when you aren't prepared.

#

BTW, on your firewall setup did you specify TCP?

#

for the port, i mean.

subtle glen Aug 30, 2018, 8:34 PM

#

i changed the SSH port on the NAS, i opened the port on the router (TCP/UDP), port forwarded even on the NAS (even tho i think it's useless), put the NAS ip to tell the router where to send the traffic

#

ohhh fiber, where are you

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

Dude, I know nothing what can be wrong

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

I like to use SSH keys and disable password logins because I'm a delusional paranoid. Though SSH keys without passphrases are great for automating SSH connections.

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

But have you tried turning it off and back on again?

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

^^^

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

SSH servers should have disabled pasword login after first time setup

#

Or at LEAST disabled root password login after first time setup or just... by default

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

I agree. I also like to use Fail2Ban as well. Probably a "belt and suspenders" approach.

rocky badge Aug 30, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

I use fail2ban on any public SSH server

inner trail Aug 30, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

Every linux distro ISO should contain "Linux best practices"

young sundial Aug 30, 2018, 9:01 PM

I think the same thing. Mostly because I look on ebay and see rackmount servers with gobs of RAM for less than the price of a nice video card. But the startup costs for racks and panels always bring me back to reality 😃

fresh copper Aug 31, 2018, 3:04 PM

I’m thinking he means putting a power line adapter at the end of an extension cord. Basically anything can mess up powerline stuff but an extension cord is not too bad. Try to stay away from power bars as those are the worst.

subtle glen Aug 31, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

actually if some plugs are connected to the same junction box or breaker they make a power bar 😊

#

i'm surpised that my powerlines works even tho the signal has to pass where a lot of other power cables are

fresh copper Aug 31, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

Having anything plugged into the same circuit/phase (depending on how the wiring is set up) can mess it up or slow it down

If I had an Ethernet plug plugged into it

would it limit my speeds n such

#

Anyone?

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

@subtle glen Yah, that's QSFP+/QSFP28 for 100G, XFP was used for 10G but never went beyond that

#

@thick minnow like powerline?

thick minnow Aug 31, 2018, 8:57 PM

#

Yes

#

if I put an Ethernet plug in it would it like bottleneck my ethernet

#

It just extends the pain socket making more plugs

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 8:58 PM

#

Yah, it definitely could

#

Not to say it will but usually they will cause a lot of issues with powerline in most cases that I've seen

thick minnow Aug 31, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

so I should plug my Ethernet directly into my socket

#

instead of using an extender like those

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

Yah, I would definitely recommend it if possible

subtle glen Aug 31, 2018, 9:06 PM

#

also with that green led i would say that is a surge protected power bar ( that filters the powerline freq to ground)

#

@clear igloo is there a faster connector? OR QSFP+ is like the max you can get

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

QSFP for now, QSFP-DD and OSFP are coming for 200G and 400G with QSFP-DD being the better choice due to more dense port configurations and the option for compatibility with lower speeds on the switch ports

subtle glen Aug 31, 2018, 9:08 PM

#

@split spire it's also about "finding the best plug". One that doesn't have a lot of stuff plugged in or that is not connected like a chain to others

holy shet 400 gbps? wtf

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 9:08 PM

Yah, most of that will start showing up towards the end of the year from what I've heard

does cisco sell switches for that?

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

I'm sure there will be another connector for application specific stuff but industry standards are between QSFP-DD and OSFP from what I've seen
They will be, yes

subtle glen Aug 31, 2018, 9:09 PM

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 9:09 PM

subtle glen Aug 31, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

are those QSFP fiber cables?

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

Yah

#

QSFP-DD and OSFP will use SM only, at least from the start

subtle glen Aug 31, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

so sea cables landing points have these

clear igloo Aug 31, 2018, 9:16 PM

#

there is no best router to get.. its just what your needs are and how much are you willing to spend..

#

with that said i like the ac1900 nighthawk. but there are others that are better. and it depends on how you intend to deploy it.

rocky badge Sep 1, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

😄

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 12:56 AM

#

With a pure router you have everything from an Edgerouter X to multi 100Gbps routers.

For a wifi router (what you are probably looking for) there are a lot of options. I like the Ubiquiti Amplifi line but you might want the Linksys WRT3200 ACM if you want OpenWRT. For something slightly less expensive than the Ubiquiti Ampifi stuff is the ac1900 nighthawk that The Shadow mentioned. That crazy eight anntenaed ASUS router is apparently pretty good too

#

If you give me some thoughts on price range, size of home, and if you plan on learning networking I can give better advice

lusty junco Sep 1, 2018, 12:57 AM

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 1:46 AM

NUCs are awesome!

#

@sick crown generally you can’t replace the modem but some US ISPs allow it. It’s not something I really recommend because there is not a lot of benefit that the average person would find. I think you are probably best going with either something like the ac1900 nighthawk or the ASUS one. If you are in an average sized home (as apposed to an apartment) then I would probably get a Ubiquiti Amplifi. Only downside is that you can’t get it in many stores, you would usually have to order it online.

how much would this make my enternet better that is my question

lusty junco Sep 1, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

it depends on a few factors. like how big the house is and where you place the router. also if the channels used are also being use by others, like if you live in the city or apartment. range should be alot better then what ever the isp gave you. you may want to look at what other networks are around you to make sure you are on a deferent channel.

rocky badge Sep 1, 2018, 2:00 AM

sick crown Sep 1, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

what is the diffrents from the two? sorry im not very smart

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 3:53 AM

#

I probably would not go with the RouterBoard just because I think you should stick with consumer oriented routers as they are easier to set up and can do things like channel searching for you. They are not as good as the higher end stuff but way easier to set up.

#

@thick minnow You can get SFP+ Edgerouters (the Edgerouter Infinity) but they are way more than $150. If you’re fine with just normal SFP there is the Edgerouter X SFP, or if you want rack mount, the Edgerouter Pro which is still probably outside your price range. There is a rack mount kit you can get for the Edgerouter 4 and 6P which both have SFP ports but run $200 and $240 respectively. If you are willing to sacrifice rack mountability then the Edgerouter X SFP is the best, it has 5 1000base-T ports and one SFP port. If you have access to a 3d printer then there are rack mount kits that can be printed.

That’s basically it in terms of Ubiquiti stuff. I am sure there are options with other manufacturers that I am less familiar with. If you have any Ubiquiti specific questions I can answer those best as I use a lot of their equipment for work. I am happy to try and answer any other networking questions too as I create and manage networks for work so I have a decent amount of experience.

gritty owl Sep 1, 2018, 10:10 AM

#

@sick crown I'm also going to have to lean towards the Netgear (or ASUS equal you can afford). I wouldn't recommend a pro / enterprise type router for the entry level networking person.
There's also the Ubiquit Amplifi stuff if you like mesh networks

Then just get one of the ASUS or netgear routers you mentioned above. Even the X4 nighthawk is plenty.
Just make sure you set up QoS to make sure your gaming has some priority over general traffic so you don't get lag spikes, etc

thick minnow Sep 1, 2018, 1:07 PM

#

You can have your own modem?

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 2:02 PM

#

A number of ISPs in the US allow it

clear igloo Sep 1, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

Yah, for cable I believe by law they technically have to allow you to use your own if you want

thick minnow Sep 1, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

are there any diy ("self-hosted")modems like pfsense is to routing?

clear igloo Sep 1, 2018, 3:13 PM

#

Nothing that supports DOCSIS 3.0 and up

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

Yea, you have to have a separate modem and router if you want a good router

#

The DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 stuff has proprietary drivers so pfsense and the like can’t easily support it. Not to mention but those in Canada (where we usually can’t use out own router) are not likely to work on a version of those OSs for stuff they can’t use

thick minnow Sep 1, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

ah

#

is there a big difference between 3 and 2?

clear igloo Sep 1, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

Well 2.0 is basically dead at this point and not supported on any ISP that's half up to date on tech

#

DOCSIS 2.0 also didn't support channel bonding so it supports maybe 40Mbps of down and 30Mbps up (roughly) wherease 3.0 supports up to gigabit down and 200Mbps up (in theory)
3.1 can do up to 10Gbit down and 2Gbit up but there is also 3.1 full duplex which can do 10Gbit down and up

clear igloo Sep 1, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

Since most of our testing involves constant reloads of the box for all the changes and whatnot and just having a box without traffic going through it and just sitting there isn't exactly the best test, this gives us the chance to see how the code holds up over a long period of uptime with traffic and whatnot going through it that's more typical of what might be seen in production

"Budget option"?

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

Yea, they give out the 8 port one. I hear that it’s ok. Probably better if you actually have a bunch of them but apparently having just one for a hobbyist is not the best. Apparently you can get their AP and firewall too. Not sure how much use I would have for the firewall but apparently the AP is quite good

clear igloo Sep 1, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

Yah, the AP was pretty solid. Firewall was nice but just didn't have much throughput, at least the one I got. I've swapped out the AP since I got it as it was only 802.11n

subtle glen Sep 1, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

do cisco switches have multiple POE voltages? If you plug in any 24/48 V etc devices in them will it work?

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

I didn’t know it was only 11n. I’m only planning on using it as an auxiliary one in my garage so it’s not like it needs to be 11ac

clear igloo Sep 1, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Well this was about 4 years ago so they've probably changed the models they give out since then

fresh copper Sep 1, 2018, 7:55 PM

That’s possible

It looks like the specific switch is the Meraki MS120-8LP 1G L2 Cloud Managed 8x GigE 64W PoE Switch

clear igloo Sep 1, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

Ah, so they have changed it for sure
I just checked and the one I've got is the MS220-8P

#

Definitely don't see the AP I got on the site though so that's probably discontinued and they give out an AC one at least

How secure is something like a pi hosting openvpn on a corporate network

fresh copper Sep 3, 2018, 5:20 PM

#

@harsh rose Is the pi connecting to an OpenVPN server or is it the server?

There are always security considerations and it depends on what you are planning to do with it. If’s it’s for remote access then it should be ok as long as only the people that you want to be able to connect are given credentials. If it’s connecting outbound it’s more of a concern. It should be fine on it’s own as long as it’s in layer 3 mode and uses a different subnet but there still are some potential attacks. A lot of those are dependent on the exact environment.

Regardless of what the setup is, the only way to be fully safe is to essentially treat it like another WAN connection. Put a firewall between it and the rest of the network and only allow through what you have to.

clear igloo Sep 3, 2018, 10:00 PM

Yah, RSTP will work with STP too if you happen to have a switch that can only do that and gives you more flexibility with regards to configuring edge ports which STP doesn't provide. Been a while since I've messed with plain STP so I'm a bit fuzzy on that part

How do you put a router/modem combo in bridge mode ;-;

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

Like this?

📎 unknown.png

#

I am very very sorry

#

For a more serious answer: You have to refer to the manual of your router, because that really depends on the brand and/or the ISP. Some ISPs even manage theese things for you so you have to ask them/login to a centralized system to control that stuff.

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 12:44 PM

#

i'm trying to find that in the router's 141 manual pages since yesterday. I might as well contact the ISP

#

i might have found some bridge things but i'm not 100%sure those are the correct settings to look at

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 12:47 PM

#

What model/brand is it?

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 12:48 PM

#

D Link DVA-5582 . i could send you the manual but it's in italian

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 12:51 PM

#

You could use the Pure Bridge function.

#

https://media.dlink.eu/ftp/products/dva/dva-5582/documentation/DVA-5582_A1_Manual_v1.00_eng.pdf - PDF page 25

#

But like it says it will disable all management functions so you have to be ready with all the other configuration.

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 12:54 PM

#

"Pure Bridge mode disables the local DHCP server, causing your ISP to assign IP
addresses directly to any affected bridges. By default, the assigned bridge is all
Ethernet and Wi-Fi LAN clients." maybe i didn't understand correctly what that does but, isn't that going to assign a public ip to a bridge?

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 12:55 PM

#

Yes, is not that what you want with bridge mode?

#

In theory the router/modem will become a modem.

quasi isle Sep 5, 2018, 12:56 PM

#

and the next connected device should get your public ip

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 12:56 PM

#

Indeed.

quasi isle Sep 5, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

i can set an option at my isps homepage to get my modem into the bridge mode

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

doesn't it takes that public ip and "transforms" it into 1 private ip where i can hook up my router?

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

No, that is only acomplished with a router with NAT and firewall functions.

#

And would over-complicate your setup hugely.

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 12:58 PM

#

so my new router would need a WAN port with dhcp enabled so that the isp can give the ip right?

quasi isle Sep 5, 2018, 12:59 PM

#

not neccessarily
for pure routing functions normal ethernet port can be enough

#

but thats up to the router

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 12:59 PM

#

Well, lets just be perfectly clear

#

Ethernet ports and WAN ports are the exact same thing.

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

yeah i mean that will be used to "connect to the isp"

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

The only diffrence is that a WAN port is by its definition and confiuration set up to be against the outside of the network (Wide Area Netwok / Local Area Network).

#

But yeah. You have a EdgeRouter? I think the default config on that one is eth0 for WAN.

#

So connect a cable from the ISP modem to eth0 and when bridged and the EdgeRouter is configured correct it should work just fine.

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

for now Eth0 is used to access the router. Any other ports wont work

#

like the untrusted zone

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

You will probably have to configure ports for LAN and WAN then. I think there is a way to apply a default config with a wizard that could help you on your way.

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

ill see what i can find. Thanks for the help guys

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 1:13 PM

#

Oh and remember, the ERPoe-5 does not have switching ports. This means that you can only route, and that the LAN port needs an external switch if you want more than 1 device connected (which you probably do want.. 😛 )

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

it will be connected to a 48 port switch 😀

#

so different LAN ports can't talk to each other?

latent badger Sep 5, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

Yes they can talk to eachother, but only with routing. meaning that they will be on diffrent networks (10.0.0.0/24 on eth2, 10.0.1.0/24 on eth3)

subtle glen Sep 5, 2018, 1:15 PM

One day i found that i cant connect to baidu. (The baidu.com domain works, but some CDN domain like tb1.bdstatic.com wont work with connection time out)

And i swapped the routers, and it works again, but due to the slow speed of the old router, i changed back to ac68u, and it works again.

And a few days ago, it went down again, and affect more chinese website.

Look at the IPv4 propagation map of the YouTube ASN

📎 Screen_Shot_2018-09-05_at_4.29.42_PM.png

#

There is a good reason for it to look like this. It's because usually people peer with Google's normal ASN to get to youtube so this ASN is only used in places where Google's normal services are not available which causes the map to be weird. The map for google's normal ASN is a lot simpler

this is a bad dns record on the pc not the router. do a ipconfig /flushdns than a ipconfig /release than ipconfig /renew

than reboot both pc and router

is google fiber still laying down fiber?

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:46 PM

#

In some places, yes

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:47 PM

#

i was hoping to see them coming to italy 😊

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:47 PM

#

I wouldn't hold my breath :P
They've pretty much stopped in most places

#

Most of what they are doing is finishing out their original commitments and that's about it

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:48 PM

#

yeah. Now i don't even care. Open fiber is laying down fiber everywhere in Italy even here in this city

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:49 PM

#

i bet in few years 1 gbps will be obsolete

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:50 PM

#

I doubt it

#

I would say 60% of home devices don't need more than 100Mbps and those that need more still don't saturate gigabit links

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:51 PM

#

maybe not in few years

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:52 PM

#

I'm sure maybe 10 to 20 years down the road most things will be wireless or moved to mgig at least

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

or maybe ISP's will offer 10 gbps at a reasonable price ?

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

Hey now, don't make me laugh so hard 😛

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

here we dont even have ISP's that give 10 gbps hehehe

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:54 PM

#

AT&T is supposed to offer 5Gbps and 10Gbps for home users in the next few years but I doubt it will be at a reasonable price

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:54 PM

#

😬

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:54 PM

#

The tech I spoke to said that 5Gbps is maybe going to drop in the next year or so

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:55 PM

#

at 1000$/month

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:55 PM

#

Probably $150/month but that's just speculation

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 12:56 PM

#

the price of the router i would say

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 12:58 PM

#

I hope they let me use my own at that point

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

no more bridge mode with their modems

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

At least let me request more than a /64 for IPv6 =/

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 1:01 PM

#

and give me a static ip

#

i mean if they say that IPv6 range will never be saturated any time soon, why don't they just give everyone a static IPv6

#

i think my isp is still using IPv4

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

Because that requires thinking to implement

#

Spectrum would bind your IPv4 address to the MAC of the router behind the modem so it was basically static unless you went offline for like a week. For IPv6 they would give you a new block if you so much as blipped the interface -.-

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

do you have an IPv6 ?

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 1:08 PM

#

Not right now, I've not bothered with it

#

AT&T decided that you only get blocks of /64 addresses with their latest "modem" box for fiber and you can't request anything larger like a /60 so if you have multiple VLANs then you're screwed since you need to figure out how to request multiple blocks on the connected router and deal with routing traffic from each VLAN out a different interface which is near impossible

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

i didn't completely understand that but it doesn't seems something good

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

Basically you need to have an interface connected to the modem for each /64 you want but because you can't just say "all non-local traffic goes out interface X" since you'll have that traffic come back in on a different interface, you're SOL

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 1:17 PM

#

ask cisco to become an isp provider with all the features that are missing with others isp's

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 1:18 PM

#

That would be bad for business 😛

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 1:19 PM

#

why?

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 1:27 PM

#

Why would an ISP buy from Cisco when they are also the competition?

subtle glen Sep 6, 2018, 1:27 PM

#

netflix is a competitor to amazon but they still rent amazon servers

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 1:28 PM

#

It all depends on what options are out there. If you have a large choice and suddenly the person you're buying something from becomes a big competitor, why would you continue to give them money while they steal your business

#

Netflix and Amazon aren't direct competitors, sure Amazon has a service that competes with Netflix but it's not their main product

@remote kernel for the NIC, depends on what’s going to be on the other side. In my situation a 10G NIC would be what I would get but if you don’t have anything to connect it to on the other side then it’s useless

Does anyone actually have 10 Gigabit internet

clear igloo Sep 6, 2018, 6:23 PM

Usually not about 10Gig internet, it's about local transfers and sustainability over 1Gbit without LAG

#

There are a few places in the US that offer 10Gig but they are usually small towns with their own ISP

chrome hound Sep 6, 2018, 7:23 PM

I don't know about only small towns having 10gb, UTOPIA services 11 or so cities in Utah, I have 10gb service

I wish I had 10G. I have 300/20 at home and about 3G transit total for my ASN

chrome hound Sep 6, 2018, 7:35 PM

having 10g service is one thing, getting 10gb speeds is another thing, but as ISP upgrade it will come along, just like 1g server used to be when it first started hitting the public

mmmm i want to become an isp then so that i can have 10g

fresh copper Sep 6, 2018, 11:23 PM

10G transit is quite expensive though

#

I guess if you hosted your own Speedtest server then you could put a 10G card in it. I may try that

Regarding public IP's, can you still do that bridge mode thing to use your router even tho the public ip is dynamic?

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

You mean pass the IP to the box behind the ISP's box?

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

yeah, use the modem/router only as a modem and use the edgerouter as router

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

Depending on the box they give you, yah

#

that's how mine is setup

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

cause i was looking at the interface option on the ubiquiti router and there was "assign ip manually/ use dhcp" and i thought that the dhcp was to assign ip to a device connected to that port, not to receive an ip from the isp

#

that's why i was wondering if it would still work even with a dynamic ip

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

DHCP is to receive a dynamic address from the ISP and can also be used, in server mode, to give out IP addresses

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 1:37 PM

oh cool, so i just have to set (in this case) Eth0 with the DHCP server enabled. Now i just have to figure out how to put the modem/router in bridge mode 😀

what if you have one of those cards that have 2 qspf (or whatever the 400gb is called) plugs: can you link aggregate them?

So if you have a quad sfp+ card you could link aggregate the ports, right?

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:42 PM

#

Depending on the card with SFP+ you either get 4x10 or 4x25 ports but yah, not sure of any card that wouldn't support some form of aggregation at that level

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

whats the back plan on a 400gb switch like speed wise?

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

line rate

#

so 12.8Tbps per 1RU

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

because you know: i have to saturate that 2,5 hdd connected to the usb port of the router speed. Maybe we are close to saturate it with that quad sfp+ card

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

lol

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

lol

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

but wait. If the 400 gbps switch is still a prototype, what does an exchange point or a submarine cable land station use?

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

at my work they are working to upgrade core hardware, they had a lot of demo hard ware in, the challenge is space for us, most hi capacity/speed switches are full sized, when your cabinet only had 18 inch depth it makes it hard

#

fiber is fiber is fiber

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:46 PM

#

most places use a bunch of 100Gb aggregation right now

#

Yah, cabinet density and depth can be a challenge with a deep switch =/

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

the Fiber to my house was installed when the max speed was 100mb with out replacing any fiber they can push 10gb, and to go 100gb on the same fiber, you just need a second fiber

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

those switches are really long, i cant fully open my door cause of that

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

So long as the fiber is SM then you can swap from 100Gb to 400Gb pretty easily but nothing I've seen mentions multimode transceivers yet

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

well multi mode is pretty short range so

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:48 PM

#

Yah, lot of data centers do MM for the short hops but SM for the backhaul so it shouldn't be an issue in most cases but there is always that one place that uses MM everywhere xD

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:48 PM

#

typically if you are that close to the device your stacking with copper stack cables 😄

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:48 PM

#

what if you want to increase the speed over a fiber line: do you just have to change the "machines" in the cabinet? or they just "unlock more speed" cause these "machines" are capable of higher speeds

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

its mainly optics to a point

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

Yah, optics and whatever it's plugged into

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

but we have a lot of older Omni switches that max out at 1 gig

#

which for typical res deployment all you need, but there uplink ports are only 10gb so after you get to a point of load you have to have a switch with 100gb uplink or you create a bottleneck

fresh copper Sep 9, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

I still don’t see the benefit for MM even at short distances. As far as I am aware, with the current technologies they both support the same speeds. I have heard multiple arguments as to which one is less expensive.

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

MM is must lower on power usage

#

much cheaper optics

#

for example the MM I use in my house cost 15 bucks per, versa 80 for LR optics

#

there is also issues with burn out, the LR are laser so your running the risk of burning something in short runs

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:54 PM

#

tf

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:54 PM

#

LR is great for eye surgery though, just a quick zap of the optic and you're good to asdflkjasdl;k;lweqrjlklalllkafjlksadfjlkasdfl

what if you point this at your eyes

📎 95-200-41_01.png

#

i mean, passive fiber

clear igloo Sep 9, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

I will say, the one thing about MM I don't like is for the higher speeds you usually have to deal with MPO cables over standard 2 strand cables

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

passive is not the light but how the hardware talks

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

then i guess it's not good for your eyes xD

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

nope

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

few months ago i thought you could see like a red dot of light pulsing if you look inside that cable

#

now i know its something like infrared you cant see with the naked eye

chrome hound Sep 9, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

well its wave length for sure, we deal with active Bidi optics so we are pushing both directions in the same fiber on different wave lengths

subtle glen Sep 9, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

i didnt know you could go both directions

if there is a power outage build a male to male cable, turn off the main breaker, plug the cable into a random plug and into the ups. You can power your house
