RED BAR RADIO IS THE BEST
>>53897054
I built a new home server because the ITX one I had didn't have enough space, so I used that box for pfSense. It's nothing particularly fancy but I wanted something better than my ~2007 Asus wireless router between me and the internet, since it hadn't had a firmware update this decade. It's just an access point now.
just that and a cheap consumer gigabit switch. I've thought about rackmounting my shit to have a nice neat cabinet instead of just hiding boxes and cables behind the monitors on my desk, but it's too expensive.
>>53897116
forgot to mention, the thing I'd like to do is set up DNSCrypt on said pfSense machine, but my investigations of that have convinced me that I'm probably not good enough to set it up and make it work

>>53897274
Yeh.
Home is just a handful of SRX110/100s, EX2200-cs and some OpenBSD/Lunix routers.
SRX110 is maxing out its CPU moving 100Mbps statefully - will probably replace it with ... something
Maybe SRX300 series when they're out.
The OpenBSD router is a tiny atom330 thing.
It runs pretty much on the edge of CPU interrupt contention when doing per-flow load balancing of 300Mbps.
It will probably be a nuc or something with just a little more grunt soon.

SRX is disgustingly slow, so it only handles WAN traffic now. VyOS is on a ESXi server with plenty of grunt so it'll happily push 7-8Gbps between machines.

Isn't running a virtualized pfsense a bad idea? Traffic still has to pass through the physical NIC.

>>53901129
backups
seeding torrents
game server
some people do media streaming on their local network, I don't
been meaning to set up an OpenVPN server, which is handy if you're away from home, because you can make it appear to whatever service you're connecting to that you're from your home internet connection. Some things freak out if you're usually in Iowa and then try to log in from England.
Some people do self-hosted cloud or file-syncing stuff
and of course some people just like tinkering and playing around, either because they can mess with stuff they use for their job in a sandbox where breaking things isn't a big deal, or just because they think its interesting.
Also quit making me hungry. I just ate and I'm already fat
>>53901129
I use it for plex.
I also am setting it up to host my website.
I have an ftp server set up on it with accounts for friends and family to keep / share files.

>>53899742
Those are 2 intel NUC's running EXSi as a HA cluster for running my AD's and a public stratum 2 NTP server. (have 2 private stratum 1's at home feeding the stratum 2)
>>53900266
From my limited exposure to ESXi and other stuff, I believe it's an option with VT-d supporting systems to install and dedicate a separate physical NIC for specific guests if you wanted to.
>>53902293
indeed, it can be set to straight pass-through.
It always amazes me how /g/ can spend $2000+ on a computer or more money on headphones or huge monitors that are 4k......and yet have just the shitty modem/router that their ISP has given them.
People with expensive setups for media across their whole house using plain Cat5 and B/G wifi band for their wifi.

I can't use a third party modem for my ISP
>>53902758
Exactly why you should be turning it to modem/passthrough mode, and running your own router - possibly on a FreeBSD or Linux box or some Tomato thing, or whatever. Something that's owned by you, not 0wned by the ISP (or anyone who can send SNMP to it, ha).
>>53902792
I installed a decent third party modem+router and my ISP blocked the connection immediately. I didn't know why so at the time I called customer service and they sent a guy over to check the connection in case there was a physical issue.
The guy showed up and tested everything outside the building before he came upstairs and noticed my modem.
$250 down the fucking drain.
>>53902758
>>53902792
>>53902880
How do they even test for such things? MAC of the modem/router?
>>53901010
Depends on your security needs/paranoia. I've seen customers with hundreds of vlans, some even with PVLAN (private VLANs, like a VLAN inside a VLAN yo)
>>53902946
>private VLANs, like a VLAN inside a VLAN yo
at a certain point don't the packets get confused and mess up inside too many VMs?
>>53902926
I don't think they do, at least not manually. I could not get a connection the minute I hooked up the new modem+router. That's probably why they sent someone over (at my expense) to check the line because they couldn't tell if my device was authorized.

Maybe a new server to migrate. Right now i have a I7 but a want migrate all my VM's to Xeon.
>>53900266
its really not a big deal. the odds of getting someone to exploit a vm or a vswitch is slim to none.
i have 5 nics inside the machine anyways that are passed through, and then a bunch of portgroups virtualized as well.
>>53903351
if i get factory default cisco router, is there anything more i can do to increase security besides standards - disable telnet/ssh, turn off interfaces, set passwords?
>>53902969
Why would they? When dealing with a simple, single switch configuration, say you have 10 access ports on primary VLAN1, 5 of those ports are actually also members of nested VLAN2, 5 of nested VLAN3.
Clients will still transmit untagged packets as they always would and from a L2 standpoint you'll have effectively split the network in half (thus reducing broadcast and allowing a better management of ip addresses), but VLAN2 and 3 will not count towards the maximum number of usable VLANs on your switches because they are nested.
>>53903382
There is a guide from Cisco and NSA (How Irony) for protect your IOS router, there are called "Cisco IOS Hardening Guide". Beside that guide, you can also configure Zone Based Firewall (Basically a Stateful Firewall).
>>53903364
It's a pretty big deal if your server goes down your entire internal goes down, unless you only have 1 server and another router for the network otherwise its pretty useless
>>53903170
Anon is very easy to configure. You only need to configure:
1.- Bridge Domain
2.- Configure SSID parameters
3.- Associate the Ethernet and Radio to the bridge domain
4.- Associate the SSID to the Radio
5.- Configure the Interface Ethernet

>>53903463
if it ever comes to that i just plug one of my routers that are just acting as aps into the modem and go back to a normal default setup until i fix it.
>>53903491
Do i put the same vlan that i use for my ethernet connections as my wifi vlan?

Until SSDs get cheap enough to replace the HDDs in my raid I am kind of past the need for more hardware.
>>53903534
Depends, if you like stay in the same network you must configure the same vlan in the radio and interface. Bridge Domains are like mini-Switches, you are basically switching between the radio and ethernet interface.

Upgrade the hardware for the IPFire box.
>Why two?
The IPFire box was in place before I received my T30-W. The IPFire box offers services that the T30-W will never implement so I left the IPFire box in it's place and put the T30-W in front of it. Yea it's a double NAT but it hasn't caused any issues yet.

intel atom D2500 w/ dual Gbit nic running OpenBSD 5.9
runs damn well. inet is only 100/10 but on the lan it pushes around ~750Mbps pretty easy. if the mp networking work is finished by 6.0 i suspect it`ll saturate GbE pretty easily. no plans to upgrade till either the board dies or 10GbE is cheap and commonplace.

1.8.0 unfortunately. The new routing stack is shit, they also dropped support for OSPF-MIB and BGP-MIB in SNMP.
Also some issues with PPTP routes not being redistributed into OSPF.
The one I work with doesn't want to revert to 1.7.0.
>Does it run well?
The network and architecture run fine
>What is your next upgrade?
Moving from just OSPF to BGP for internal with OSPF for distributing routes to the loopback interfaces. Just for fun and education.
I'm also working moving DNS to LDAP and building a front-end for it. I also want to add DHCP info, so I can have a complete IPAM.

What's the easiest way to set up a hardware firewall that won't add relevant amounts of latency?
I'm guessing maybe something cheap like a RasPi equivalent that comes with two NICs? Any way to beat that?
>>53905846
Yes. The default proprietary firmware is notoriously known for sloppy code, and even blatant backdoors in some cases. An open firmware alternative is typically much safer and receives regular updates. I can recommend OpenWrt, for instance.

>>53901010
Depends on how you need to separate the broadcasts, size of the company, security, etc. but, In my humble opinion, if you have a hacker who is already in your network deep enough to realize you have a L3 boundary separating your servers from your workstations, you're already fucked. VLAN's also start to become a consideration when Spanning tree needs to update a shit ton of them on a topology change. Cisco 3560's had a terrible proc consumption bug on ppl with 30+ VLAN's... my infrastructure being one of them :(((

>>53910952
Get a switch or... if you're super white trash and love collision domains, get a L1 hub... if they even sell them any more. The switch will likely come with no VLAN's so... just plug em all in, but DHCP on one of them or static them all and bam, you've got your PoopyPC Network.

You could try setting up Ubuntu MAAS. It is built as a mass-management platform for servers.

OpenWRT is more like a small Linux distro with packages and all that jazz. It runs on many routers and let's you turn your shitty tplink into a torrent box or tor node. DD-WRT is more like a standard router firmware, just open source and more feature rich. Which one is better? Depends on what you need.
My school is asking me and my friend to setup a wireless network for students and teachers, with centralized network storage.
Which brand should we go with for the APs? And should we spend the money on PoE switch for the APs?
There are 10 classrooms with ~45 each, across 4 floors.
My friend has an idea for an all draytek system, don't know what he chose for the storage server (only told me it's 2 4TB drives in raid 1).
Currently it would cost ~$5500.
>>53914074
Ruckus or Aruba, maybe Meraki if you have the budget
You should really use PoE+ switches, and at least 2 AP's per classroom if there are that many people.
Look into "high density WiFi".
$5500 sounds too little for the scale you're looking at, especially if it includes storage too.
>>53914074
>draytek
explains the ~$5500
>PoE
is awesome, i power our snom phones with PoE switches.
>>53914074
Why is your school asking you to do it?
I hear ubiquiti stuff is really good, everything is PoE. A switch might be handy and make things little easier with all the power management. Don't forget the cost of running CAT 6 (802.11ac) to all the access points, crimping, testing etc.
$5.5k seems a little low for what you want, sure you could just get a cheap NAS, but if you are using it for a school environment you probably want something with dual gigabit NIC's (synology 8-12 bay maybe?)
Don't forget to do a site survey before you start senpai.
>>53912954
depends for what.
if i'd wire my home id use 7, for its superior shielding
>>53914122
Currently we are planning to use 2AP per 3 classrooms. The AP advertises 50 clients each, guess that's not true?
Also, not all 45 will connect, I suspect 30 at most, but we'll have to investigate that.
During class there would probably be next to no traffic, but during breaks it will spike.
>>53914158
Draytek is overpriced or something? Or just not enough?
>>53914174
They knew me and my friend are somewhat knowledgeable in tech. I was going to have a company do it but I'd have to convince my friend. I don't know which company to trust anyway.
I suggested the unifi lr over the draytek ones my friend chose. Will look into it more? Does the router have to be Ubiquiti as well?
As for the storage server, I'm pretty sure it'll be low traffic as hell. A home NAS might even be OK.

>>>53914158 (You)
>Draytek is overpriced or something? Or just not enough?
overpriced, at least in my humble opinion.
>>53914219
>Currently we are planning to use 2AP per 3 classrooms. The AP advertises 50 clients each, guess that's not true?
Yeah no, that's not how it works. 30 is still a lot. Remember that the bandwidth of one channel is divided over all clients.
Use AT LEAST one AP per classroom if you want a decent bandwidth.
Just take a look at some whitepapers to educate yourself:
http://docs.aerohive.com/pdfs/Aerohive-EDU-Buyers-Guide.pdf
https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en_us/solutions/industries/docs/education/cisco_wlan_design_guide.pdf
https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en_us/solutions/industries/docs/education/092111HDWifi.pdf
Ubiquiti's UniFi is cheap and decent, but it doesn't come with support.
Don't use the LR version to cover more rooms, you might consider it just for a larger room.
The other types I mentioned are still better, because of the support and features.
>>53914329
Thanks, will read.
Honestly anything above 300 kB/s is good enough, it's not like the internet will be fast anyway.
What did you mean by "support" exactly? Because I doubt we will get official tech/customer support from the vendor here. They only have licensed distributors in my country.
Can I mix and match the router/APs or do I need to buy same brand for management?

If I'm just using WAN / LAN segments, am I OK with just 2 physical NICs? Considering I'll have another couple VMs on the same server.
Thanks in advance

>>What router are you using?
TP link 1043ND (v1)
>What firmware is it running?
DD-WRT v24-sp2
>Does it run well?
Well enough, have had it for the last 4 years, no issues.
>What is your next upgrade?
Probably upgrading my ESXi box and virtualizing somthing like PFsense or Endian Firewall. Reading about Cisco ASAv

do you go pre-fab, or do you have all the gear for self-termination?
>>53917264
prefab, gear is still to expensive for me, its all just a hobby after all.
Should I buy a used enterprise-grade router/firewall, or build one from scratch using a used quad-core Xeon V3 L and other used parts?
>>53918113
what's you use case for routing?
if it's just one subnet connected to your ISP (with optional NATing), a real router is overkill unless you explicitly just want to fuck around with one.
if you have multi-homing, redundant ISP links, multiple home subnets, a "real" router can be nice but is still by no means necessary.

shaking my head, familio
>>53902721
I was trying to go for subnetting within the last octet as to have 30 subnets with 6 hosts in them

>came here to ask
so i hope this is also a friendly networking thread. i want to upgrade my home network but have no idea where to start. i dont know much about these thing all i know is ''''internet'''' comes in a phone cable to my house then it goes through the splitter and then goes to '''modem'''. then i have 4 ethernet port and wlan on modem so i connect to it. i want my home network to handle miracast/wifi seamlessly and also i want use my 1 tb drive as a data dump between my devices in network. my current modem has a usb port for network drive support but its really slow and has some retarded categorization system that fucks up folders.
so what do i do /g/. i tried hitting aliexpress for xioami router but it doesnt have the port i need(phone port).
>>53920420
a telephone cable?
You on ADSL still?
My understanding of your current setup is
Phone cable in wall
\/
Splitter
\/
Modem
\/
wifi router (zyxel vmg3312)
First question I would say is are you satisfied with current internet and are you sticking with it?
>>53920741
being in a third world and smallish city adsl is only option. they call it vdsl+ and its supposed to be faster than adsl its not. (speeds are 1200/200 kb). i am not happy with my current provider but other providers are not available in my city yet.
also there is nothing but the splitter between zyxel and wall. adsl cable goes directly to it.
>>53921008
*and a smallish city
*but its not
>>53920420
>>53921008
>>53921034
What's your budget? Also you're saying the wifi router is also your modem? since the splitter has the telephone line directly into it...
If your budget is enough or depending on your needs you could always do dedicated modem > wifi router
>>53921112
not much, i could do 100-150$ since its translates to x3 amount in local currency.
also yes. my modem is also my router.
>>53921223
I think your best option might be to keep your current modem/router and use it just as a modem to connect into a new wifi/gigabit router for your internal network....
all these vdsl/adsl routers online are so overpriced because not enough people buy them en masse
>>53897297
Why not 5.4.0.
I'm working at one of the largest fortigate resellers in western canadad

de donde eres chori?

D-Link DIR-615C1
OpentWRT
Not as well as it used to, but it is 8yo
Probably OpenBSD on a SoC

ASAv is only via VM, you must deploy the OVA in vmware. Right now I have 3 Nic: 1 Outside with a public ip in my house (My Carrier gave me a router for receive my internet connection, but i put it in bridge mode), 2 Inside is only a network with mask /24 and 1 Nic for my CCIE lab. Answering you question about the interfaces, depends what do you want because you can put all interfaces of the ASAv in different vnics (The network topology depends in your vSwitch and vnics).

>Router

I-240WS
>firmware
Who the hell knows
>Does it run well
OK enough but then I have 4 clients at most. Everyone else complain about it.
The wireless is shit.
>Upgrade
My gpon line is stuck to this thing.
Either find an exploit to put it in bridge mode, or double NAT.
But if possible, either a routerboard or an asus router.
Router - ISP provided ARRIS cable modem/router/4 port switch/wireless ap all in one device.
Firmware - Don't know.
Runs well - Guess so, I've never had to reset it or have wi-fi issues. Pretty much sits in my basement along with my servers and an 8 port switch.
Next upgrade - Nothing to my network or infrastructure. But I'll probably be upgrading my
file server's storage capacity end of this year,first part of next, depending on how fast it fills up.
>>53925984
Do you recommend VMWare for CCNP or should I buy physical set up?
Ubiquiti Gateway Pro, Watchguard T10 firewall, RP-LinkSG2424 switch, 3unifi AP's (office, kitchen, bedroom).
>>53926438
They call it a gateway, I have an Arris too. The newest model. Supposed they'll have the storage option enabled in a future update but I doubt it. I'll be upgrading the gateway itself if they don't.
pls no die
Who's excited about the PTX1ks?
6M RIB, 2M FIB
Anyone seen convergence perf numbers for it yet?
>>53931293
More excited about the SRX300 series.
I wish I had the budget for some nice Juniper routers, especially with the DOCSIS 3.0 line cards.
>>53926707
Its better a virtualized lab tha physical because you can deploy GNS3 VM and you can use the resource from the VM wherever you are. I use GNS3 VM from my Esxi vía Vpn ssl, works very good and my laptop (GNS3VM do the processing).
Btw you can study all topics from ccnp in GNS3 unless SPAN or LACP and PAgp
>>53932440
GNS3 is extremely buggy for me half of it doesn't work properly and with real gear it just works as it should.
>>53925984
Gracias viejo. Voy a buscar un link para bajar ese ASAv.
Saludos desde el sur.

Modem/Router/Firewall: Virgin Media Super Hub VMDG485 [Firmware V1.01.29] (192.168.0.1)
Router/Firewall: Netgear WGR614v9 [Firmware V1.2.32] (192.168.0.2/192.168.1.1)
Switch: Cisco SG300-10PP [Firmware V1.4.2.4] (192.168.1.2)
The Netgear router is locks up sometimes, so I want to put my Cisco switch into layer 3 mode and set it to be my Router/Firewall, but haven't had time to read into the correct way of setting it up with VLANs.
Netgear Nighthawk R7000
Firmware: Advanced Tomato 3.1-132
Very very snappy. It does everything I want of it, and more. I'm looking to set up DNSMasq to replace my Pi-Hole at some point, but the current system works, so I'm not stressed.
No plans at the moment. This thing is rock steady. Future upgrades will likely be to buy a Pentium based NUC and put something serious onto it like Debian and build a router from linux. Alternatively, pfsense.
>>53932732
Thats true but depends in the IOS version. In GNS3 I use the version 15.2M for Routers 7206 and IOU I use the version 15.5M for switches, those IOS are very stable. Are you tried CSR1000v?, there are so good but you need more resources in your esxi server.
>>53933170
De nada, lo que hice es bajarlo de una pagina que estaba en vmx bajo vmware workstation, despues hice la conversion a vmx esxi con el vmware converter. Saludos igualmente!
>>53931293
I can get excited about higher throughput switches (cheap 10gbe, you can't come soon enough), but how many people on /g/ honestly work somewhere that a 40gb router would be used?
>>53922381
what router should i get for low latency miracast/widi. usb port for sharing a drive would be useful but not important. i can setup a pc as a nas later
>>53933960
I'm gonna try those thanks !
