#

The one with the procurves? I mean if that hardware is just sitting there and they dont have any remote services running on it that she needs it in the new office

#

it should be fine to remove it and use it

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

that equipment is also still on for no reasons

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

yeah, its wasting power then

#

but better to ask first

#

it could be doing business work

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

but there are no pc, no servers. The 45U one is completely empty with just a lot of cut ethernet cables on the back

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

empty then huh

#

so yes use it

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

let's see if my mom will ask them (even tho she doesn't like that thing in the house)

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

I dont have a room big enough to fit a rack 😦

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

"where are you gonna put it"

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

I wish my stuff was in the basement but

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

i probably won't be able to fully open the door (like now), but it's a sacrifice i am willing to make

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

no wiring was done down there

#

it will make noise too unless you use quiet equipment

#

whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

#

fan noise

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

the tiny nas box and the switch makes noise already

#

but i can sleep with it. my brother doesn't like it but he still falls asleep sooo

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

I remember having the synology NAS and switches in my bedroom

#

i used to be able to sleep with just the NAS

#

but the other stuff became

#

impossible to sleep with lol

#

so I did a forced moveover

#

of all my equip

#

to another room

#

I made new cabling

#

where I could

#

the rest I bought CAT 6a

#

75 feet

#

and 100 feets

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

sometimes i imagine what would happen if the power goes out during the night and the ups starts to BEEP, BEEP, BEEP and then faster beeps cause the battery is discharging. And if it shuts down and turns on again the switch will restart and make a huge noise cause fans spin at 100% for few seconds

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

thats exactly what would happen

#

the loud initial fan spinup

#

but edgeswitch are quiet

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:08 PM

#

lol i need a diesel generator on the balcony (so that i can wake up the neighbourhood with the engine noise)

#

i have a cisco one

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

wanted to buy a cisco one since I did a lot of classes on their stuff

#

but support was not free

#

nor was the upgrades

#

also tight on money

#

and wanted managed

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

i got mine for free from the same office 😛

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

because i feel like edgeswitch has weird bandwidth problems

#

like it wont saturate the gb link

#

only like 824mbps

#

and i wonder why it just happens with this one

#

i had a consumer asus ac66u

#

and it never had that issue

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

dooley will be so upset when he will see this chat

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

also you wouldn't believe how much frustration I went through

#

initially setting it up.

#

Because, there was setting corruption in its startup-config file. Basically, the port was a trunk member and in access-mode at the same time

#

somehow, edgeswitch doesnt sanity check the configs right

#

so it would never establish a connection at all

#

but would show link Green and okay

#

like seriously, that took me 3 days to realize

#

the GUI setup corrupted it

#

whereas doing it from console was

#

the proper way of doing it

#

That's where they cut corners on QA i guess

#

they can't compare to cisco

#

at all.

#

But upgrades are free!

subtle glen Sep 30, 2018, 10:14 PM

#

i read that there are a few problems about corrupted stuff on ubiquiti products. A lot of people have problems with that

little schooner Sep 30, 2018, 10:15 PM

#

Especially with the edgerouter-x

#

storage failures

#

upgrade failures

#

there was something ruining the durability of the flash

#

that it reached a failing point

@rigid slate that tower is thiick

i use it as web server

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:39 AM

hmm, currently I am using a custom case cooler master with supermicro motherboard with xeon 1245 v5 cpu

its freestanding unit

#

I dont have money for a rack but

its standing upwright on the shelve

with at least 5 feet clearance vertical

its lights are BLINDING

Hey @rocky badge

#

I may have committed a firewall crime

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

Someone mind testing the bandwidth on my OpenVPN server, i dont have the connection to test it right now.

#

expecting the VPS's connection to be full duplex, so it should hit 70-80mpbs, and here i sit on like 30 tops.

#

@rocky badge im looking at you for having access to a connection that can test this

upbeat veldt Oct 1, 2018, 3:57 PM

#

@remote kernel just build your own router OpenBSD with PF and bob's your uncle. Ubiquitis routers are PITA.

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:15 PM

#

@upbeat veldt yes I use pfsense for my openvpn and performance is much improved

#

Especially with intel aes-ni

upbeat veldt Oct 1, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

@little schooner You used a Ubiquiti router before?

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

I have one now yes

#

Not for vpn though

#

Its routing my home network traffic out

#

And vlans that I have locally

upbeat veldt Oct 1, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

Why not also use PFSense for that?

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

pfsense as ovpn client or server?

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

Because if my server fails, so does the entire network

#

Having a separate box just for.internet works best

#

That only does one thing and cheaply

#

No down time because I can afford a spare

#

On shelf ready to go

#

@deep verge server

#

As a server

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

i use it as a client, works quite well once you get it setup.

#

my god is it a pain and the instructions bad

#

the one step i didnt do, restart ovpn connection.

#

at a business i do IT work for there is only a single server, runs the POS server, domain, and router.

#

if any one thing goes down the rest basically dont matter, soooo, i made the most reliable box i could and it runs everything.

#

@little schooner do you happen to have a fast enough connection to test my VPNs bandwidth?

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:26 PM

#

@deep verge only 25 megs

#

Not fast

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:26 PM

#

damn

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

I've had my server fail and bring my network down and learned my lesson

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

how did it fail?

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

oh, i have a 1275v5 in this box, its going for over two years now.

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:28 PM

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

yet me check exactly when i put that in.

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

I tried doing rma but

#

It took long time

#

And I couldn't afford downtime

#

So I separated it

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

ordered 7/29/16

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

With edgerouter

#

Yeah yours lasted longer

#

I bought mine from newegg in a kit

#

Guess it was used cpu

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

built mine

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

I built mine too but

#

The mb and CPU kit was together

#

It's in a cooler master haf case

#

32gb ECC memory

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:31 PM

#

Asrock Rack E3C236D2I, 1275v5, NH-u9s, 250D, 16GB ram (was supposed to be ECC, got the wrong ECC, its not ECC, im not going to bother to put ECC in)

#

to date, only non-pentium skylake CPU ive ever used.

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

The only reason I considered ecc was because this was going to store documents from very old years

#

And didnt want backup to start saving coruppted data

#

And then when I go look at it

#

It didnt write the memory correctly

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

this is a Point of Sale server, it really should have ECC, you think i get the budget to fix something that is not broken, o hell no

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:35 PM

#

I will say ecc is.migtly expensive when I bought it

#

I think it was 239 per 16GB stick

#

If I didnt care about data integrity I'd go with 8700k server

#

And lose the ecc

#

I only did xeon for ecc

#

But next server will be amd

#

Eypc

upbeat veldt Oct 1, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

RAM is expensive now right?

#

yeah wtf

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

Yes it is

upbeat veldt Oct 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

2012 when I bought my computer with 8 GB of RAM - $40

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

ECC is worst

upbeat veldt Oct 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

not even

deep verge Oct 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

i got a 16GB stick when it was $90, said stick was registered and i needed unregistered

rocky badge Oct 1, 2018, 7:08 PM

#

@chrome hound wot

#

@deep verge sure

subtle glen Oct 1, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

Why that much for a 10/100 mbps router?

📎 ssg20.JPG

#

am i an idiot for not using mine then?

high anchor Oct 1, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

Because it's also a hardware VPN/Firewall with high packet throughput for enterprise/"huge network" use

#

Also, the price can be high because of a huge demand, as those "older" equipment can be searched for by some enterprises for interoperability issues, to replace or be a backup of a similar router.

subtle glen Oct 1, 2018, 8:49 PM

#

so i could use it only as a VPN server? instead of the edgerouter or another server?

#

I could also use it as a firewall but i don't like those 100mbps ports

high anchor Oct 1, 2018, 8:50 PM

#

It's more intended to be a site-to-site VPN solution so it may not be what you are searching for

subtle glen Oct 1, 2018, 8:50 PM

#

:/

#

for that site to site vpn you would need a similar machine to receive traffic, right?

#

on the other side

high anchor Oct 1, 2018, 8:53 PM

#

At least another box that is supporting the same VPN protocol

#

It may be from another brand or just a pc for this

#

But you will need a dedicated IP in at least one of your location (perhaps you may need both your site to have a dedicated IP if those don't support VPN over NAT

#

As I said, this thing is intended for enterprise use so you may encounter some difficulties you wouldn't have with a OpenVPN appliance

subtle glen Oct 1, 2018, 8:56 PM

#

I still can't figure out why it is only 100mbps if it is something for enterprises, site to site vpn's, firewalls, etc.

#

If there is new hardware around, why would people keep buying this one for 800/1000+ dollars

high anchor Oct 1, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

Older equipment, enough to handle some Word/Excel transfers between sites, also some AD sync. Those have a great reputation for being reliable, so enterprises that still uses them may want to keep those, if they don't need higher bandwidth, and even then, they could still use this router as a VPN gateway but using another router to have more bandwidth for internet.

thick minnow Oct 1, 2018, 9:00 PM

#

bandwitdth[

clear igloo Oct 1, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

Just because new stuff is out doesn't invalidate the old stuff and new stuff can be much more expensive. If you don't need full gigabit encryption then why bother buying something that has far more capacity than you'll ever need

subtle glen Oct 1, 2018, 9:04 PM

#

So you don't use it as main router. You use it just for vpn and maybe some extra protection

#

I think I got it

thick minnow Oct 1, 2018, 9:06 PM

Like ad.domain.com and domain.local poijy to the same domain

little schooner Oct 1, 2018, 11:53 PM

What do you mean parked domain

#

I was worried about .local because if I want to bring it to custom domain on internet, I would have to transfer all objects over to a global known tld

If I didnt want to have it exposed to internet at all, I have no reason to change it

Found out I need a metric fuckton of CAT7 for the office... they're installing gigabit with promises of 2Gb/s at least, but possibly 10Gb/s...

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:47 AM

#

hmm is it true that CAT7 isn't standardized with IEEE?

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:48 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I've been told it's not approved for telecommunication use, but I ain't no telecom.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:49 AM

#

hmm because I've ran into some signal integrity errors

#

on an Intel NIC

#

diagnostics always fail

#

it says "does not follow IEEE cable specification"

#

if only I knew before buying

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

I mean, technically I could leave the cat5e that exists for gigabit, but I want each machine to be able to nuke the connection kappA

#

Also, I use CAT7 on my current rig without issue.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

there is even claims that cat5e can do 10gigabit

#

at short distances

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

Technically it should be able to do more than a gigabit, but there's a bandwidth limitation.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

i wanna find that product page

#

where it claimed that

#

it was either netgear or dlink switch

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

CAT5e = 100MHz max; CAT6a = 500MHz.

#

Found this chart https://dooleylabs.com/?🍌=4ulp3v.png

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

hmm okay

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

Funny thing is, we have some CAT3 in an area, lol.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

i may have misread the product page then

#

man but i was so sure they claimed it...

#

cat3 really lol

#

that goes pretty far back

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

It's an out-of-use phone line.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

i see

#

so you said your experience with CAT7 is good?

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

So I'm probably gonna rerun that with cat5e and everything up to the switch will be 10GB/s capable, but everything downstream from the switch will be gigabit-only.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

will be much cheaper

thats where i got confused

it wasn't 10gb

it was up to 5gb

#

https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/switches/XS505M_XS508M_DS.pdf

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:57 AM

#

So less than 45m is fine, but I see that that's a reference to the shielding then.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:57 AM

#

those rosewill cat7 look great

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

So all runs in the office can easily support more... in that case, maybe ensure all runs are good, replace the bad ones, profit.

#

No runs in the office are more than 100ft...

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 1:59 AM

#

yeah you would still be good

#

in that case

#

I've never seen that claimed by other manufacturers

#

that was why i was surprised when i first saw it

#

but hey if its on paper... then they are forced to deliver

#

or its false advertising : )

unreal wedge Oct 2, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

What's it matter? I'm the tech, and all runs are 50ft or less from the fibre, so if they're in good condition, we should be set, lol.

#

Basically less length = more speed in this case, and there's not a ton of interference in the office.

little schooner Oct 2, 2018, 2:26 AM

yeah your right

#

i totally agree

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 7:40 AM

Hi all. Looking for help. Im moving to a new house where the walls are made of stone. Going to have to route my ether net cable outside and into the loft/attic. Should I be looking for cat 5 or 6 e? Also I want to be able to plug my consoles and pc into ether net to avoid wireless if possible so would a switch be able to take the one input and convert it to maybe 4 or 5 outputs? Also is there an ether net to WiFi adapter? Preferably 2.4Ghz as thr walls are thicker.

#

^ping if you are replying. Thanks

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 7:57 AM

#

@thick minnow for the wire at out door you need buy stp cable instead of utp, I think both cat5 or 6 fine for you. What do you mean Ethernet to WiFi adapter, you meant wireless access point?

#

And maybe you need buy a network switch for future update

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 7:58 AM

#

Ughhh yeah. I wanna know if I can take it from ether net and connect it to a access point. Got any links for this stuff?

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 7:59 AM

#

Link?

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 7:59 AM

#

To like a switch/correct cabling etc. If you. Got any.

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 8:00 AM

#

Normally you plug to router then Ethernet to access point

#

If your access point have poe you may want buy a switch with Poe

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

So a powered switch which runs poe?

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

If you want or you can just use the poe injectors

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

What's that do?

#

What does that do*

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

It add electricity to Ethernet cable

#

Like a pie switch

#

Poe*

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

Ah ok. So I could get a regular AP and grab an injector?

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

Normally ap have injector

#

If your ap can

#

📎 image0.jpg

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 8:06 AM

#

Ah ok thanks. I'm just trynna list what I'll need. So a cat 6 stp cable. Poe switch. Does the switch need to be managed or not?

#

Ah that makes sense

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

It your choice if you want more management go for manage switch

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

Alright ill look In to it. Thanks dude :)

rigid slate Oct 2, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

Nope

thick minnow Oct 2, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

So: upon looking, The
GS908E and GS308P seem to suit my needs. If I run the GS908E I don't get PoE but I could just use the PoE injector. Thinking of running a Ubiquiti AP AC Lite. Thoughts on the choices? I don't mind changing things if it is a better config.

#

@little schooner it's actually not to bad, but also looking out for some v2 ones on the cheap, preferably 2690 v2 😂

#

or if i find a better server for my pc vm and gaming vm, that could also work, and keep the current server for just docker containers and storage

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 9:19 PM

@subtle glen They look Dell poweredges

little schooner Oct 4, 2018, 9:25 PM

#

Is the supermicro backdoor thing real?

#

@zenith ridge I ended up just using a regular consumer case and put supermicro hard inside with new xeon in combo purchase

#

At the time, v5 is what they had available

#

Now that amd has eypc though, I will consider changing to them

#

More cores and better performance at the same time for less.money

#

Intel charges a lot for cores and slow speed

#

An intel xeon w 2133 (I think its that) has turbo up to 4.50

#

And 8 cores

#

Saves a lot of power and no noise

fresh copper Oct 4, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

The supermico thing is real but whether or not is was/could actually be used is doubtful

zenith ridge Oct 4, 2018, 10:15 PM

@little schooner also bought mine in a cpu, ram, motherboard combo, 128GB ram

threw them in a used server case i found on the cheap, now moving in a rack case because i just bought the rack and new case for it

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 10:15 PM

Expensive, especially for new ones

subtle glen Oct 4, 2018, 10:15 PM

little schooner Oct 4, 2018, 10:53 PM

@zenith ridge 128GB RAM

#

That's a lot

#

Do you use that much?

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:03 PM

@rocky badge do you think a PowerEdge r810 40 core 64gb is enough for AD

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

enough that's a lot lmfao

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

Have you ever used them? Are they good?

#

I want a good server

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

Not r810 lol

#

You can get a r710 for a whole lot cheaper

#

and they're good

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

Yeah I'm getting one of those too

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

But a r810 is a overkill for AD lol

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

R810 for ESXi, R710 3.5 for storage

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

a r710 can do ESXi just fine

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

And maybe a R310 or something 1U as a rouuter

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:05 PM

#

That's what we use at school

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:05 PM

#

But r810 has 4 CPUs

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:05 PM

#

dual cores is enough for ESXi lol

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:05 PM

#

40cores 80 threads

#

It's only $150 more for twice the CPUs

#

I want lots of detodated wams for suurrver

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:07 PM

#

At school we have 2 CPUs and and 96GB of ram

#

Which is enough lol

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:07 PM

#

I want 4 CPUs and 64gb

#

Ill probably use this for a rendering farm too lol

I bet it will do good in 3dmark

getting a server to run 3dmark

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:08 PM

I always get them confused

#

3dmark is what I run on my GPU

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:09 PM

#

You don't get a server to run cinebench lol

#

Plus what virtualization workloads are you running that needs that many cores

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:09 PM

#

AD, ubnt controler, Plex transcoding

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:09 PM

#

lmfao

#

That can be done on a single socket server

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

It's mainly because I want a lot of boxes in task manager

#

And to be able to run things in the future

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:10 PM

#

Just get a dual socket server lol

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:11 PM

#

But 4>2

#

And 40cores > 20cores

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:11 PM

#

quantality ≠ quality

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:11 PM

#

And the price difference is enough that I want more cores

#

My r710 will be for less multi threaded stuff

#

Cause it's 3ghz iirc

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:12 PM

#

Plex doesn't even need that many cores lol

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:12 PM

#

I'm buying these used (obviously)

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:12 PM

#

Plex runs on 4 cores fine

#

AD can run on 1

#

UniFi controller runs on 1

#

that's 6 cores

#

You don't need 40 cores for that

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:13 PM

#

Then I have 34 cores in case I need them

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:13 PM

you don't need 34 cores lol

r610

#

UBNT servers are trash and overpriced

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:22 PM

No, a router

I'd use the r610 as a router

#

It's a 1U server

rocky badge Oct 4, 2018, 11:23 PM

meh

subtle glen Oct 4, 2018, 11:23 PM

Go pfsense

subtle glen Oct 4, 2018, 11:23 PM

#

Aren't wasted for a router?

remote kernel Oct 4, 2018, 11:52 PM

#

The reason I want a r710 for storage is I already have a few 4tb 3.5inch drives

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 12:28 AM

#

Dont overkill on stuff. Remember the electricity costs and the fact that 40 cores will be running at very slow speeds

#

I have 8 VMs running on just a 4 core 8 thread chip

#

As long as you feed it memory and dont run it on hdd

#

You will see no issues with perf

#

And use a separate box for surveillance dont put it on server

#

If server goes down so does your camera footage

#

Pfsense with vpn on a modern CPU is also great

#

None of the old cpus support useful technology extensions in modern software

#

You would be paying for loud noise and slow speed

#

And some processors are so old they will stop supporting operating systems like server 2016

#

They've done that with esxi

#

Too

fresh copper Oct 5, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

Definitely want AES-NI support on your CPU for any sort of crypto including VPNs

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

@fresh copper helps a great deal, yep. I am trying to get my professor to consider this too

#

Besides that point, also currently he has a box that does not support this and only does fast ethernet on LAN and WAN

#

When the college is paying for 2gbps

#

So we're already losing some bandwidth there

fresh copper Oct 5, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

Fast ethernet! Ouch, it’s probably the sun java machine or something. College networks can be pretty cool though

rigid slate Oct 5, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

anyone know what processor used in edgerouter 6p

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

@fresh copper I was able to finally get my input about purchasing a new router to replace the ASA that is there (FastEthernet) and it's been approved for winter

#

So I am happy because now we'll put what should have been there in the first place

#

They were willing to give us about $1000 out of budget

#

Since it's just a lab classroom, that will work just fine

fresh copper Oct 5, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

$1k should get you some awesome upgrades for a lab classroom!

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 2:07 AM

@fresh copper so happy because its 4 years since they last improved anything in the lab

when you are to cheep to buy a new access point and your old wifi router isn't allowing dhcp traffic to your new router so you have to become your own dhcp server LULW i need to just buy a access point FeelsHmm

do ubiquity's access points work well with cisco routers?

Can you make a Raspberry boi sent a WoL packet to broadcast?

#

I'm trying to hobble together Wake On Wan functionality

#

Like if my phone sent a WoL Packet to my router, which forwards to the raspberry, which then sends it out on broadcast

fresh copper Oct 5, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

That should be possible. I’m not sure how to do it but I don’t see why it would not work.

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

@mental plinth it has to be sent to broadcast. The switch wont know the IP of which computer to forward it to

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

Yes

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

Any computer that is set to wake on magic packets will acknowledge this and power on

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

I know that

#

In asking

#

Fucc

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:00 PM

#

Are your phone and PC on same network?

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:00 PM

#

No

#

Holup

#

Lemme speak pls

#

I know the broadcast address is a massive issue

#

I was asking

#

Can I have a raspberry pi relay the wol packet to broadcast

#

If I plug it into my gateway's ethernet

#

Port

#

And forward the Packet port itself to the pi

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

If your pi is router, broadcasts cant be pushed over routed networks

fresh copper Oct 5, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

The thing is, WoL has to be broadcast so the app would already be sending it to broadcast

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:03 PM

#

I can't forward to broadcast

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:03 PM

#

No, but Cisco had something called ip-helper

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:03 PM

#

I'm trying to wake on wan

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:03 PM

#

That allows it to go

#

For WAN, did you try NAT rules?

#

NAT should be able to do it

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:04 PM

#

I have port forward and trigger

#

Thats about it

#

Firewall rules?

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:04 PM

#

No, NAT

#

Its different

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:04 PM

#

Because I ain't seen anything labeled nat

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:04 PM

#

Then it probably doesnt support it

#

In the context of

#

Letting you set custom rules

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:05 PM

#

Yea

#

Wait

#

Is NAT for like IPv4 and IPv6 settings and such

#

In the router

#

Which blocks ports

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:06 PM

#

Because if you make a NAT rule, it's basically like saying:

"If I get a packet on port 80 from the WAN, I have a rule that will translate ALL port 80 requests to be sent on port 443 to an internal ip address of a single server"

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:06 PM

#

N o p e

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:06 PM

#

Whereas you can have NAT rule broadcast to your local ip range if WAN receives magic packet

#

Its translating

#

To what you want it to do

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

I can confirm that the packet does get through the router firewall

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

Yeah but it cant broadcast inside without ip-helper or NAT...

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

Wait

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

It stops at the router

#

Always

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

A port forward rule works within a mijute or two

#

Then nope

#

The ARP table refresh i think

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

It shouldn't work really

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

It did

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

Yeah but for how long?

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

When the router thought it was there

#

Couple minutes

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

Yeah it's not working

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

Discovery and arp refresh

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

Something isnt working if it stops working

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

Yea

#

The NIC is waiting for a broadcast

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

So that's not proper solution

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

And I can't broadcast forward

#

So i was asking

#

If i have a Pi running 24/7

#

Wired to the router ethernet port

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

Yes

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

With a port forwarding rule directed to the pi

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

Yep

#

Then your pi must rebroadcast it

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

Yes

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

Whatever comes to it

#

Force it to send it locally

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

And this is possible, right?

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

Yes in that sense it is

#

Your pi could basically be another switch

#

And broadcast everyone

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

Also wait what if I created a series of interlinked pis

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

And someone will get it.

#

Interlinked how?

#

As router?

#

Or repeaters

#

All pi must be on same local network which you want to broadcast on

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

One main pi connecc to router

#

Bunch of pi connecc to main pi

#

What happen?

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

I believe the traffic still goes through

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

Cool

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

I haven't had a nic to nic situation myself since

#

I've always had switch around

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

Was also considering ftp server for myself

#

For fun

#

Why not?

#

So a pi can work as a netswitch

#

N i c e

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

Well, just make sure you're securing stuff if you open holes in your WAN

#

Yes it can

mental plinth Oct 5, 2018, 4:14 PM

#

Gotta get that password

#

Or no meme access

#

Gotta get that password

little schooner Oct 5, 2018, 4:14 PM

#

When you port forward anyone else can also get in

What do you do if your servers are getting ddos'ed?

thick minnow Oct 5, 2018, 5:14 PM

#

use cloudflare

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 5:17 PM

#

For example: how would ubisoft fix their servers from the ddos attack

clear igloo Oct 5, 2018, 5:19 PM

#

Blackhole the traffic and use various mitigation techniques

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 5:21 PM

#

Do you have to restart servers, routers etc as well?

clear igloo Oct 5, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

No, you never do that

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

Don't they need to empty the ram, cpu resources?

thick minnow Oct 5, 2018, 5:56 PM

#

WaitWhat

#

most of that stuff is quite smart and is run on custom hardware that is built to deal with ddos attacks so there is little to no problems most of the time

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:06 PM

#

Their servers are down tho

clear igloo Oct 5, 2018, 6:08 PM

#

Servers aren't down in a DDOS, the bandwidth to the data center is saturated

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:08 PM

#

And servers overloaded (?)

#

No?

zenith ridge Oct 5, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

servers wont suffer from ddos

#

just their router is flooded by requests

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:10 PM

#

Then I learned a wrong definition of a ddos attack

#

Thought the server that response to the request were also going to get overloaded for requests of services that don't exist

zenith ridge Oct 5, 2018, 6:11 PM

#

Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled.

#

there will just be a point where tho connection between you and the end server wont be able to keep up all the requests

#

once the ddos stops, it's over

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:12 PM

#

So servers aren't affected at all?

#

Just routers? (In case they don't have protection)

clear igloo Oct 5, 2018, 6:13 PM

#

It depends but generally the servers don't get hit directly

#

They can get hit directly if you configure things poorly but usually there are layers between them and the outside world

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:15 PM

#

I also heard about servers that are deployed to receive this traffic so that important ones aren't affected. Don't know if it's true or if the routers just ignore the "fake"requests like cloudflare says

clear igloo Oct 5, 2018, 6:15 PM

#

Yah, you can blackhole traffic that way too

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

So you fill a server with requests on purpose

clear igloo Oct 5, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

Yah, it just drops traffic

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

Also, how do they know when an attack is going on? Are there people watching traffic graphs 24/7 or there is some sort of alarm that notify people?

thick minnow Oct 5, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

oh for sure

#

there are services that deal with most ddos attacks automatically and it just slows down the network 90% of the time. if a ddos takes down a network it is quite a large and complex ddos attack.

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:22 PM

#

Aren't isp's affected? Cause during a ddos attack I've never heard about isp bandwith problems

thick minnow Oct 5, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

i mean that is why isp's have bandwith limits per connection

#

and they will throttle connections if the local isp data center is getting overloaded.

subtle glen Oct 5, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

Welp, guess no r6s tonight 😁

#

Thanks for the explanation @clear igloo @thick minnow @zenith ridge

Yeah, that probably added IPv6 DNS servers

After VPNfilter, I've been a bit paranoid about my DNS. -.-

Cloudflare DNS is a good thing.

#

Problem is, I'm moving to Cloudflare's "Cloudflare Domains" next month, and it worries me to have all parts of my internet routing through them.

#

Partly because a piece of me believes they're NSA in disguise, but _ ¯_(ツ)/¯

@unreal wedge I've learned that it's best to keep networkings as simple as possible even if it's for family.

The day that a person is out and about and the network shuts off entirely is when the troubleshooting will get so complicated for them.

unreal wedge Oct 7, 2018, 12:35 AM

lol, I call that job security.

little schooner Oct 7, 2018, 12:35 AM

For networks that I would.manage though I'd introduce the complexity

#

I won't burden people who may not be well versed

#

Because I cant always be there to fix it

#

I learned that lesson not too long ago

#

So I've changed my mindset since

fresh copper Oct 7, 2018, 1:24 AM

I use CloudFlair on most of my stuff. Mostly because I get good ping. My VPS in Germany has less than 1ms. I mean, so does Google DNS but still. I am hoping to switch to CloudFlair domains but I’m not sure that I want to be forced to use their nameservers. I much prefer HE’s because I get total control.

i had a ethernet cable plugged into the wan port not the lan port when i was trying to turn my wifi router into a switch ablobderpy

little schooner Oct 7, 2018, 2:12 AM

Hmm before I understood the differences between the wan port and switch ports, I did something like that all the time trying to get two Asus routers to talk

#

I just didnt grasp the concept at the time

Now after some Cisco school everything made sense

ye i am going through learning all about networking so... ima do stuff like this

also i am still trying to wrap my head around subnets so that is fun

little schooner Oct 7, 2018, 3:21 AM

#

Just dont let them tell you that it's the most important section to study because it isnt.

#

I remember in my class they made a big deal about it

#

When the exams barely touched upon

cold peak Oct 7, 2018, 5:27 AM

#

Subnets and studying IPs is a small portion of what you need to know as a CCNA certified technician, it's just basics (Cisco Troubleshooting course)

#

Like, you only need to excersize it 4 times and you are good.. just remember what are Classes and how to find the subnet.

little schooner Oct 7, 2018, 5:41 AM

#

@cold peak FHRPs details were a little hard to remember. And the OSPF packet types and such

#

omg I wont forget how much time I spent

#

Lots of the questions on exam made me chuckle because

they were trying to be funny with the answers

#

to trip up the ones who really didn't know the nitty-grity

it almost felt like the question makers were having a blast

one of my professors questions got into the test

#

he was happy

cold peak Oct 7, 2018, 5:44 AM

Yup

#

These are protocols done by the switch anyway, so phew..

We only need to understand how data is being transferred and optimized by the network, but other than that.. Lucky me the server room hadn't burned down yet xD
