I don't know, it's my first time in this room, I'm on an internship in a high school

@subtle glen

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:21 PM

#

ohh ok

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:21 PM

#

tho good call using velcro strips instead of zip ties.

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:22 PM

#

wait a minute, you don't need 2 cables to link those media converters together??

#

why the rx tx plugs then

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:22 PM

#

Zip ties are an act of war on the person that has to fix/replace/decomission the equiptment after you.

sturdy mirage Sep 17, 2018, 1:23 PM

#

@young sundial we have cable management stuff that replaces zipties

#

it's plastic hooks on the front of the racks

look at the mess to replace one cable

#

that had zip ties

sturdy mirage Sep 17, 2018, 1:24 PM

#

and behind, there are a few vercro straps

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:26 PM

#

Two labels at each end of the cable. triggered

#

I worked in a corporate data center for a few years. 50% of those years were spend making labels. Strip after strip after strip of effing labels.

#

At least 50%. I had whole 12 hour workdays that were nothing but spreadsheets and labels.

#

do you think a normal cable fishing line can go in there? i suspect it can bend and get stuck cause the pipe is wide

#

the hole on the right is where the fiber cable would run

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

If you can get away with cutting one of the existing cables, you can use it to pull your fiber + a replacement for the cable you cut. Though you should pull a few extras plus a string (jet line/ blow line/whatever) since you are going to all the trouble anyway.

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:36 PM

#

i was thinking about replacing my cable too since those are old and put a thicker one (maybe a ground cable as well if i cant put a grouding rod). i own only one of those, the others go to other garages

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

if your cable is going to the same place the fiber is, use that to pull all of them.

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

also there must be another manhole for sure where the cables split and go into the 2 or 3 power rooms. I don't know which yet

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

plus a couple of extras so you don't have to go through all of that again.

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

i don't know if i have to ask the building admin to run cables in here

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:42 PM

#

IDK what your local building and wiring codes are, but if none of the wire you're pulling has high current, there shouldn't be much regulation on it. Though you might get in trouble with the electrical worker's union. That happened to a company I worked for once.

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:43 PM

#

i cannot run ethernet for sure cause there would be too many interferences and i cant cause the cable would get energized and have a potential difference that makes voltage etc. The cable voltage is 220/230 V

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:43 PM

#

We spent a weekend re wiring a bunch of networking closets and then got sued by the union for doing it ourselves.

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:44 PM

#

if the admin starts complaining i can just threaten him cause there is no grouding in the garage and it's illegal 😄

#

you let me run what i want or you pay

young sundial Sep 17, 2018, 1:45 PM

#

Nice 😃

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

i can't find the admin office email tho, i don't want to call him at the phone xD

#

60% sure that if i start opening manholes to run cables some old people will start complaining about what i am doing

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 1:51 PM

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

Because you break shit ?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:01 PM

#

i've never done anything. some things happened and she thought we were us. Also my mom and my brother were walking to get to the car and she threw bread for birds from the balcony. the problem is that she hit my mom's head and when she turned the lady tried to hide.

#

and never said sorry

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:05 PM

#

XD

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:06 PM

#

i swear to god if she complains about anything i do

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:06 PM

#

IF you live on a flat here bird feeding isnt allowed lol

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

recently they added signs on the bulding door telling people to stop throwing bread cause that attracts rats but after that she didn't stop xD. also she has some random curtains on her balcony that shouldn't be allowed since they don't match the color of the original ones that everyone has.

#

i can run all the fiber cables i want 😀

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

Lol

#

Run fibers for me then

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

go tell the chinese people at the duomo of milano to stop throwing bread

#

you can live in my garage.

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

Lmao

#

Heating is not needed i will bring my own

#

😂

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

nah i have an electric heater

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:10 PM

I dont need heating i said

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:10 PM

the problem is that water and sewer is missing. but you can survive anyways

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:10 PM

lmao

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:11 PM

you can pee into the drainage manhole

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:11 PM

I shall shit on that ladies balkony

i'll buy the ladder

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:11 PM

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:12 PM

#

someone (that i probably know who he is) put shit on her garage key hole once and ofc we were the culprits for her

#

soo you can even burn down her house idc

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

lmao

#

But if i burn hers down

#

I burn yours down

#

Cause it will be big boom first

#

Just like that bridge a couple weeks back 😄

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:22 PM

#

heh concrete will contain the fire. first close the gas supply that's under her balcony

#

the bridge at genova?

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:22 PM

#

Yes

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

it didn't explode?

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

But closing the gas supply isnt a option

#

But it still made a big boom

#

Once it hit the ground

#

😄

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

we can find a solution

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

And that is ?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

should we move to off topic?

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

Yes we should

Cuts power cable and reroutes it

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:37 PM

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:45 PM

#

ok @hallow nimbus let's plan the route between your house and my house to run fiber

#

start counting the manholes

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

ERM ALOT

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

is a spool of 200 meters of cable enough?

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

ERm no

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

250?

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

I shall let good calculate it

#

Where are you close to

#

?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

milan

#

or we can buy a wavelenght like linus did

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

Moar like 870Km of fiber

#

😄

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

i found a couple of open cabinets where i can start placing the cable

hallow nimbus Sep 17, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

oof

fresh copper Sep 17, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

I should lay some fiber over to Linus’s office and tap into their internet connection

#

Or even just to his house (not that I know where it is). That Telus 1G is expensive. I’m stuck here with Shaw 300/20

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 3:58 PM

#

do it hehehe

#

are you his neighbour 👀

fresh copper Sep 17, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

I live about 30 minutes away

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

place some wooden poles and run a cable to there

#

wait how many km can fiber do without a repeater? Some says 80-100 other 300 km etc

fresh copper Sep 17, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

Depends on the type of fiber

#

He is at most 10km away though

#

Just run it on the power lines

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

exactly

#

none will notice

fresh copper Sep 17, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

Just got to find a spare SFP port or hide a media converter

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

put it in a plastic bag, dig a hole and put it inside

#

wait multimode fiber is less expensive than singlemode?

fresh copper Sep 17, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

I have always found single mode less expensive but everyone says that multimode is less expensive

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

that also would not make any sense

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

you would have to go with OS2 fiber if he is over 10km, how close to that 10km is he? OS2 can go as far as 200km

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:42 PM

#

is single mode fiber fine for less than 50 meters 😄 ?

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

lol I would go MMF for 50 meters, much cheaper, unless you have a need to push more that 10gb

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

1 gbps should be fine, i also need something that is easy to terminate without the use of any tool like expensive melting machines etc

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

OM3 can carry 10gb to 300m were OM4 can cover 500m

#

just buy it per terminated

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

i can't

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

oh?

#

the head of a LC dual connector is pretty small

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

i'm trying to find the pic of the conduit where it will go, but i can tell for sure that it will never go into the 3rd to the power room conduit with the terminated plug

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:50 PM

#

well the problem with any fiber is, if you have to splice it, its going to have to have a device to do so, maybe cat 6? crimpers are much cheaper for cat 6

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:50 PM

#

that's why i was wondering if monomode fiber would be fine. I found a spool of 100 meters for 30 euros and i was thinking about using those connectors

📎 71-eTEBfaqL.png

#

you mean using cat 6 instead of fiber?

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:50 PM

#

if you have size constraints

#

I haven't spent time splicing fiber so I have no real concept of what it takes to go from raw fiber to a LC conncetor

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:51 PM

#

beside the fact that there would be a high magnetic field in that pipe, you also can't run it in power conduits unfortunately :/

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

but yea if you use BiDi optices a single fiber strand should work

#

I am not sure if they make BiDi MMF optices, I am sure they do, I just have not worked with them

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

you mean the media converter?

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:54 PM

#

the SFP optics it would use to go into a port. or are you not going SPF port to SPF port?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:54 PM

#

i was thinking about having the fiber directly going into something like this

📎 61PQ0oc9SLL.png

#

or this

📎 61PVMiigzGL.png

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:55 PM

#

that could work that first one is BiDi only needs one fiber strand

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

the second one seems to work even with 1 fiber strand in the TX port

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

if you have SPF ports on your switch that would be cleaner, but

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

i don't have it

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

what do those guys cost?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:56 PM

#

the first or second

#

pretty much the same

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

compared to a switch with SPF ports on it?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:57 PM

#

well considering i would have to buy 2 switches (or 1 switch and 1 expansion module for the other)

gritty sparrow Sep 17, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

Isn't SPF a rating on sunscreen lotions?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

in fact it's sfp 😄

how's the monomode fiber to sfp thing called again?

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

its kind of wired to see it called monomode fiber, its just one strand using BiDi optics to send two wavelengths of light on one fiber strand for your TX/RX

#

this project is becoming more complicated than i expected

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

or maybe they just don't see it used in short runs so they don't make them a lot

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 5:08 PM

#

what fiber would you use that is small to go in tight spaces and what converter would you use

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 5:08 PM

#

you might have the right idea with the converters since they have optics in them all ready

#

and since you are targeting 1g at 50m that might be the cheapest way

#

with your electric angle

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

the problem would be 10 meters of small conduit, the rest is pretty wide, i dont think it's worth it to change fiber and use another type

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

most of those connectors are 1/4 inch so they fit a lot of places

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

maybe the total distance is even less than 50 meters

chrome hound Sep 17, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

define small? 1/2 inch?

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 5:10 PM

i am about to open the junction box to measure since i cant find the picture

gritty sparrow Sep 17, 2018, 5:16 PM

#

Yo, may I clariofy something in the meanwhile?

#

clarify*

#

I just took over an aging network and my fist order of business was to switch from an dsl internet connection over copper to a symmetric 1gbps fiber line

#

this is for an office setting

#

now the existing networking setup is basically over a series of unmanaged fast ethernet switches running cat 5e cables

#

i.e. 100mbps per connection

subtle glen Sep 17, 2018, 5:19 PM

@chrome hound around 0.62? and let's not forget there are other cables inside already :/

That sounds cool. Let me know if you ever manage to find it

viscid warren Sep 18, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

Where should I buy and what should I buy if I plan on wiring my whole house for internet? Im also going to install cameras around the house.

#

Just a big ole box coil of wire eh?

fresh copper Sep 18, 2018, 4:47 AM

#

If your going to be wiring things yourself you will need a box or two of cable. Cat5e is usually fine but someone will probably try to convince you get get cat6. You also need a crimp tool and probably a tester to make sure you got your wiring correct. The end bits and any wall plates and punchdown connectors (get the toolless ones). For inside the house you will need a drywall saw and a way to fix the holes you make. Probably need a cable fish too. I'm probably forgetting things.

I'm not feeling the need to replace the switches since we don't have a network heavy working environment ATM.

#

However I was wondering if increasing the number of users from the current 15 to a potential 50 concurrent users in the office would strain the switches (and the ISP provided generic WiFi router that handles DHCP) in providing consistent 100mbps throughput per user.

I hope Linus will consider making a video about LMG's past and current network topology. I know he said that he's not a network guy but he is clearly interested in the topic

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 9:57 AM

+1, I'm a developer, but network setups are interesting, and in the end, we all need it somehow

I'm also looking into 10Gbe myself right now for my server because I want to split it into 2 servers, and might aswell be future proof while doing that right

A techquickie about all sorts of network cables and interfaces would also be nice right now

tight phoenix Sep 18, 2018, 12:06 PM

Yeah I'd like to hear about alternatives to RJ-45 cables and even hack jobs to mount server grade networking or even fiber into a PC, unnecessary but definately something cool I think.

rough zenith Sep 18, 2018, 12:51 PM

#

So, err...i finally got a dual band ac wireless card, but for some reason it shows on the properties that it is using the n protocol. All other network devices are using ac, even according to the router statistics page. Any help?

fresh copper Sep 18, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

@viscid warren even with cat6 it can only do 10G up to 50m so if you had any runs longer it would not help.

#

@tight phoenix it’s actually quite easy to add fiber to a PC. All you need is a PCIe card with SFP ports which is easy to find. Linus even talked about it before. He used direct attach copper rather than fiber but fiber works too if you get the correct SFP modules. He also used SFP+ for 10G networking but you could get normal SFP cards if you only needed 1G

SFP is only 1Gbit though, is it not?

#

ah you said that in the end

#

I don't see the point in getting SFP if you want to go fancy and waste money.
I'm looking into it myself and QSFP+ is even looking better 40Gbit for the same price~

also i don't get it, will he only use that 10g switch? or that's for 10gbps devices and they still use gbit ones for other things?

hallow nimbus Sep 18, 2018, 3:08 PM

They also have 10Gbit external now

😂

chrome hound Sep 18, 2018, 3:09 PM

10gb connection just moves the bottle neck, which is awesome 😄 no matter how you look at it

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:09 PM

no, just 5.5Gbit if i'm correct, and then from where their lease line ends a 10Gbit to google and other big centers if i'm correct

so just a big fat line to all mayor data centers they need

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:10 PM

mmmm tasty 10gbps

imma ask my isp to enable 10gbps on my future 1 gbps fiber line since it's technically ready for 10 g already

😊

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:11 PM

that will cost you tho, nothing is for free

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:12 PM

i don't know how much would that cost, i'm more scared for the router price

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:12 PM

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:13 PM

#

maybe i'll be fine with 1 10g fiber nic into a pfsense machine

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

I was thinking to make a pfsense with 2 dual 10Gbit SFP+ ports
and 1 or more 1Gbit

still expensive though

#

then I can connect both my servers with 10Gbit, Gbit lan to a switch and 2 10Gbit as my Wan ports (or take 1 port to connect a switch

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

for personal network?

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

yea, I want 10Gbit for my servers, but a 10Gbit switch is actually expensive, and a pfsense router would be just a bit more expensive

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:18 PM

#

you could make a 10gbps switch with pfsense or vyos like i've seen in a video

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

nice, but you can also use it as a router, and have 10Gbit ports ready for wan 😂

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

it's still unclear to me if you can plug the bare fiber cable coming from the isp directly into your custom machine

#

heh then you gotta choose if you want to go with a switch or no

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

I would just need a Gbit switch, except my servers nothing else would make use of more bandwith

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

so only a dual sfp+ nic?

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

on the router, yes, and maybe a second SFP+ for wan (or add one later if you need it)

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

wait 10gbps over WAN for what?

#

for the isp?

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

yes, if it ever gets to that 😂

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

hehehehe

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

well you can use 1 port to connect a switch, maybe, and the other for wan

#

so all your lan devices have 1Gbit to the switch and the switch has a 10Gbit to both servers

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:24 PM

#

or just have 2 gbit ports: one for the isp modem, one for a gbit switch for all devices and a dual sfp+ card for the server if you don't want to buy a 10g switch

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

switch just needs 1 SFP+, and I think that could be cheaper then finding a switch with at least 4 SFP+ ports

#

Dont know what I'll end up with, got to research more first

#

because QSFP+ is actually cheaper for me to import then SFP+

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

with a quick research on ebay i found this one for 590 euros

📎 s-l225.png

#

still expensive tho

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

and I'll still need a normal switch for all my devices
you can find dual SFP+ with 24 ports more often

price may not be accurate

It's actually not so far off

found a few around 3k

Also, QSFP+, you can buy PCIe cards (dual QSFP+) for 15$ each and cable about 30$ each
Thats about 105$ for 40Gbit to 2 servers and 1 pfsense box

#

those 2 sfp+ ports are appetizing

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

I could for example, go for that switch, and 2 SFP+ cards for the servers
and but a QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ 🤔

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

or put in pfsense a QSFP+ card and you got 40 gbps

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

then the router would have 1 QSFP left, and full 10Gbit to switch and servers

#

hmm

#

but then I need 2 cards for pfsense if I also want to connect a switch with a 10Gbit cable

#

that would also be nice, because all lan devices can request at Gbit

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

you would need a dual SFP+ card in pfsense (one cable goes to the switch so the switch only has one port left that goes to one server and the other cable goes directly into the other server)

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

Yea thats also an option

subtle glen Sep 18, 2018, 3:51 PM

#

instead of connecting the switch with gbit to pfsense...

zenith ridge Sep 18, 2018, 3:52 PM

or ... or ... connect the pfsense and the switch with LAG 2x 10Gbit between them

and then QSFP+ between servers and the pfsense

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:26 PM

I would like something more then a 'think so' though, unify switch isn't cheap, about 700€ or so

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

if it is SFP+ , why not

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

because someone said to watch out for something, and I forgot what 😂

#

ah hmm thats for optics

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

I think that was me, and my comment was if you go Fiber optics, make sure your matching up MMF or SMF, that the yare not intermixable

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

@chrome hound do you install fiber?

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

by install do you mean throw the pre-made cable through the attic?

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

think the cables in that ebay listing aren't fiber so I should be fine then?

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

nope that is direct attach Copper

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

hahahahaha, i mean like as a job (dig trenches, put fiber, terminate it)

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

lol no they don't let bad people like me do installs

#

I am a Developer, web sites, automation, provision application, that kind of thing, I just play with a lot of fiber things because of hardware I have collected from previous job

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:32 PM

#

you seem to know a lot about fiber, that's why i was asking

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:33 PM

#

well when you work for a fiber infrasturce company, you pick things up

#

and I also did a lot of networking in my last job, mostly cat 5 termination for data center setups

#

@zenith ridge that ebay posting looks to have a complete set for connection two computers together

#

or to a switch

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

did you get tired of terminating cables like people say about those kind of jobs 😂

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

2 cables, so I assume to a switch indeed

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

you could connect them to each other

#

but with SFP+ you can swap out the copper direct attach for optics

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:36 PM

#

https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-poe/
I would get a switch like that, the switch I posted here earlier was also a 48port with 2x SFP+

Ubiquiti Networks - UniFi® Switch PoE 24/48

Available with 24 or 48 RJ45 Gigabit ports, the UniFi® Switch delivers robust performance, PoE+ support, and intelligent switching for growing networks.

#

but I do not have that many things to plug in a normal switch, because most stuf are AP and camera's

#

they need PoE

#

It's expensive though

#

But I think more worth it then buying a cheap 48port where I can't even plug in 5 things because everything else needs PoE

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:39 PM

📎 Screenshot_20180528-120742.png

there you go, 10 Gbps switch

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

@zenith ridge what are you using for POE now?

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

we have a few switches around, but very old ones, and a few injectors because the switches are full

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

how much stuff you have o_O

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

we have a few AP and more cameras

chrome hound Sep 19, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

old doesn't mean bad, unless you are seeing traffic issues, you could just connect in and add to

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

but those switches are only half poe, so dont think to much

#

and I think 1 of them is 100Mbps

#

It would be a nice upgrade to have everyting on 1 switch

#

with the SFP+ ports aswell

#

So while it would be expensive, I think it's worth it to make it less of a mess

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

are the switches all close to each others ?

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

yes

#

thats why a single switch for everything would be nice, even if I'm not going to end up using half of the new switch

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

i thought that an 8 port switch for my tv setup would have been kinda overkill.... now i only have like 2/3 ports left cause i added more stuff

#

think about adding more stuff in the future

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

lol, we have more then 8 cameras, so, GL with an 8 port switch, you also need the uplink

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

i only have one, and the video quality is bad cause i have to use powerline over a long distance 💩 . that's why i want to run a fiber cable down there

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

why not a normal cable?

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

The camera software doesn't even show footage, you have to acess it from the phone or the web gui

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

fiber over long distance is expensive I think

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:49 PM

#

found a monomode fiber 100 meter cable for 30 euros

zenith ridge Sep 19, 2018, 3:49 PM

#

oh

#

thats cool

#

so you just need 2 SFP+ switches or something?

subtle glen Sep 19, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

📎 IMG_20180829_174733.jpg

#

you cant run copper cables in power conduits, especially in public spaces. (a lot of people do it but in their home wiring)

#

you also would have problems with interferences. i was thinking about using 2 media converters at each end to convert fiber to ethernet

glacial glacier Sep 19, 2018, 6:58 PM

Indeed, your router hands out the IP's as far as I know

@thick minnow that I do not really know, I have unraid, not a normal nas box

thick minnow Sep 19, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

Your ISP will have to assign your Router a static IP-adress, Otherwise your IP-Adress will change on router restart or simply due to ISP network reconfiguration wich happens every now and then

#

And your Router Will then have to assign your computer a static IP

#

Basically.

Your phone have a app installed that can send a WOL packet to a IP-address ( Your router's IP-Address)

Your Router has a static IP-Address assigned from your ISP. You have then configured your router so that WOL packets are forwarded to your local Computer's IP-Adress (properly something along the lines of 192.168.1.6)

You have also configured your Router so that it assigns a static IP-Address to your Local computer(It does this by recognizing your computer based on your NIC's MAC adress)

Your computer is configured to accept WOL packets and when it receives one it turns on.(this is configured in the bios).

#

That's basically it

anyone here who uses Ubiquiti unifi router?

I have a device, connected bo cable to an AP second port, but unable to assign static IP by using its MAC adress.

I need to get it on another vlan, but it ignores even a static IP..
There is no way for me to set a static ip on the device.

gritty owl Sep 20, 2018, 11:31 AM

#

@zenith ridge Use unifi controller to set a static IP on the AP

#

Else, SSH into the AP

#

Oh, device plugged into the AP. sorry, I misread that.

#

But yeah, on UniFi controller

#

Click on clients

#

find the device

#

click on it, under configuration

#

you can give the device a static IP with the USG

#

under the network box

zenith ridge Sep 20, 2018, 11:59 AM

#

i dont want the ap to have a static ip, they have anyway and it works, but the device after the ap wont work

zenith ridge Sep 20, 2018, 12:18 PM

#

@gritty owl I'll send a print screen in a min

#

In a 10.1.0.1/16

📎 unknown.png

#

So I guess that should work

#

📎 unknown.png

#

It's been like this for a day, multiple reconnects

#

and I actually don't want it in the LAN network, but If i change that aswell it goes back to LAN after a few minutes, for what ever reason

#

I really think I did it correct, or is it ignoring me for some reason?

#

The same idea works for another device, just 1 difference is that I tagged a lan port on a switch to the correct VLAN, sad it's not an option on the secondary port of the AP

gritty owl Sep 20, 2018, 12:30 PM

#

Hmm, that's pretty interesting. Yeah, I've never played with VLANs yet (been meaning to).
Weird, the secondary port is supposed to be straight pass through.

subtle glen Sep 20, 2018, 12:31 PM

#

did you got your rails tho

zenith ridge Sep 20, 2018, 12:31 PM

#

I know, all vlans are available on the AP so it should reach the second port aswell

gritty owl Sep 20, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

Yeah, that should work. Maybe there's a limitation on the secondary port?

#

I know for sure you can't aggregate the ports. I tried. lol

zenith ridge Sep 20, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

We have 2 switchs already, with an AP between them, and a vlan for tv works on both switches

glacial glacier Sep 20, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

I believe you need a security gateway. Atleast we do to set a static ip

zenith ridge Sep 20, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

so it should work trough the AP

gritty owl Sep 20, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

@subtle glen Oh right, I never took a picture. lol
I actually have a 24 port edge switch on the way, and a 48 port cisco switch

#

@zenith ridge Yeah, it should work. That's really strange

subtle glen Sep 20, 2018, 12:33 PM

haha, yeah, curious to see how loud it is

I'll be sad if the edge switch is louder. lol

subtle glen Sep 20, 2018, 12:37 PM

mine is not that loud

#

only during startup or when you pull out one of the fans

glacial glacier Sep 20, 2018, 12:37 PM

Our Netgear switch is super loud

gritty owl Sep 20, 2018, 12:38 PM

Yeah, I was tempted to buy a used netgear switch for my house as a temporary thing until I saw how loud the rackmount ones were

subtle glen Sep 20, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

put a stick into the fan hole and you got a silent switch

glacial glacier Sep 20, 2018, 12:38 PM

Yea we got a rackmount, mounted on a wall, you can hear it trough the door

subtle glen Sep 20, 2018, 12:40 PM

just looked it up, because I also wanted to know

with my phone behind the fans, mine is 42 db. dont know how accurate this app is tho

Our switch is louder than my pc, which is already loud

gritty owl Sep 20, 2018, 12:48 PM

but my UPS does run pretty loud

you could blow air with an air compressor from the grill

At my colo, you can buy some basic equipment from them and one of the thing you can buy is a one port 10/100 ethernet card

subtle glen Sep 20, 2018, 5:11 PM

#

i would buy it i m m e d i a t e l y

fresh copper Sep 20, 2018, 5:17 PM

#

Lol it’s $30

#

Also, if I buy anything it would get charged to the guy who I am sharing the rack with and I don’t want him to get upset with me.

I would buy that batterybackup just to have light XD

sturdy mirage Sep 20, 2018, 5:20 PM

#

as long as you see at day you should be fine xD

#

@chrome hound i thought that the "hype" was direct attached storage on your host ... 🤔

#

maybe a large storage pool is good for backups

#

or a Vsan 🤔

What is IPv6?

fallow plover Sep 20, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

@hardy kestrel What do you mean?

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

I found it while installing the CloudFlare DNS

Oh, I see

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Oof, Now I also realized why my transfer speeds are slow when copying files on network

fallow plover Sep 20, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

You may need to go through a few trouble shooting things - 1.1.1.1 does have IPv6 connectivity

#

Did you configure the IPv6 resolver addresses too?

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Nope.

#

I think my router doesn't support IPv6

What is it?

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

Stock Router from ISP and Google WiFi.

fallow plover Sep 20, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

Who is your ISP?

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

PLDT.

#

(Philippine ISP)

fallow plover Sep 20, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

Is it a "SpeedSurf"?

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

Nope.

fallow plover Sep 20, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

SpeedSurf seems to be the router brand PLDT ships out

#

Judging by a quick Google search

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

WTH That is for DSL subscribers

#

Hold on, lemme check the model number

#

FiberHome AN5506-04-FG

fallow plover Sep 20, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

The product manual for that model says it supports IPv6

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

oof, probably ISP disabled it.

#

My ISP Disabled a lot of things. WPS, the Username and password, The USB port, and Lan 2-4

fallow plover Sep 20, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

why

#

lol

hardy kestrel Sep 20, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

I don't know

#

I can't change the name, the password, I can't use WPS and I can't use more than 2 LAN devices without connecting to one of the Google WiFi Stations.

Sounds like a lovely ISP
