• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    My first dive into VLAN with a managed switch, need advice

    Most of those VLANs don't need routing. However, yes, I am going to have multiple virtualized software-based firewalls do the routing. I chose pfSense because I have experience with it.

    My first dive into VLAN with a managed switch, need advice

    #1 priority is to learn. Secondary priorities are speed and security within my home lab Much appreciated. I know my post was overwhelming, thank you for taking the time to write that up. I will refer to it when my switch arrives

    My first dive into VLAN with a managed switch, need advice

    This is a home office setup, so not many Servers: Only the 2x ESXi hosts, and maybe 20 VMs total Desktops: Just a few

    Need help designing network for VMware

    The question is mostly network so it's in the Networking subforum, but it would be very helpful if VMware folks chimed in: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1807416. Thanks!

    My first dive into VLAN with a managed switch, need advice

    I just bought my first managed switch. It's a Zyxel 1910-24G. I understand the benefits of VLAN for performance and security, and I made a decision to make use of VLAN, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how I am going to implement it. It's a fairly basic design for most network...

    24 or 48 gig switch for small business use

    Look what I found! I never saw anyone post this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_fanless_layer_2_switches. This can be very helpful to people that have the same question as me. Judging by that chart, I made a decision to purchase a Zyxel 1910 over the HP 1910 because it has the...

    24 or 48 gig switch for small business use

    Yes, another one of these threads. I just can't decide on what to choose. My budget is $200-250 for a 24 port, used or new. I would pay extra for 48 ports. My priorities, in no particular order, are: Very light use, I will only ever use about 20-25% of the 24Gbps available Quiet Rackmountable...

    What VMware software should I download for Vmotion, DRS, HA, etc?

    I have been using free ESXi for years. I now want to set up two matching hosts in order to make use of advanced features such as Vmotion, DRS, HA, etc. Honestly, I don't understand VMware's product line. There seems to be hundreds of software titles. Can someone tell me what I should be...

    Cheapest/easiest way to store archived data in the cloud? 5TB and slowly growing

    Very good advice in this thread. If I wanted to archive the data to the point where it's a pain in the butt to restore with proprietary apps (but at least it's backed up), it seems I would use Crashplan. However, it seems what I want does not exist. I have been spoiled by so many Cloud...
