    Blade Servers vs 1U server noise

    Hello Guys, I play a lot with virtualization in my home lab, and have noticed that I am always running out of RAM in my hosts. To solve this, I initially looked at just buying more RAM for my servers as generally the CPUs are generally fine for my purposes (except if I want to run...

    Ethernet Bonding - Increasing bandwidth or throughput?

    Hey everyone, I'm playing with Open vSwitch right now and was trying bonding working with it. But, I had a question which I'm a little confused about bonding. Even without Open vSwitch, and using the stock, Linux bonding module with 802.3ad mode I had the same problem. From what I...

    Need to reduce home lab noise!

    Hey everyone, I recently moved to a new house due to getting a new job. Along with me, I moved my home lab. This new place is rather small, and it's a terraced house so one wall in my "server room" is shared with the neighbors. I'm worried that the noise is traveling through the walls...

    Cisco ASA NATing ICMP replies to wrong address

    Hello Everyone, I'm having a bit of a problem with NAT on my ASA 5505. Basically we have multiple customers who have a cluster running our software, which I maintain. In order to get connectivity to the customers network, we have a VPN connection with them, which I have had to NAT in order to...

    VPN to Customer Networks

    Well, it needs to be up 24/7. It's used for support, maintenance, monitoring, and there is a lot of data that is transferred between our local servers and the remote clusters. The problem isn't with the linux server or Cisco ASA really, I actually quite like the ASAs. >.> The big problem...

    VPN to Customer Networks

    Hey everyone, I joined a small company which requires a small cluster to be setup in the customers network. So far, looking at the setup, I really don't like it. It is a mess. So far, we only have two customers who require a cluster to be setup locally, everyone else uses the one hosted...

    Quagga OSPFv3 (IPv6) Route Priorities

    Ah! I see. I guess I understood that incorrectly. I thought the priority also as an influence on route selection as well as providing a way to give a router higher priority to win the DR election. That makes sense now. Route cost would definitely make more sense for this, and its working...

    Quagga OSPFv3 (IPv6) Route Priorities

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to setup OSPFv3 on my network using a tunnel provided by Hurricane Electric. My configuration works, but I'm seeing some strange things happening which I cannot understand. I basically have a setup where my "main" router (where the tunnel is actually setup...

    Mount Red hat linux share as iSCSI volume in Windows

    If I understand this correctly, you want some sort of database to be running on the Linux box, but also have access to this data through a windows box as a Logical drive. iSCSI on its own will not completely solve this problem since you will need a shared disk file system like GFS2, or else...

    Opening up a 3com 4900 switch?

    Does anyone know how to pop open a 3com 4900 switch by any chance? :) I managed to get a decommissioned 4900 SX from work, but the fan is making a horribly loud sound. So I wanted to check it out.... but I can't figure out how to open it without damaging it :\

    Switch Recommendation

    Hmm well, I figured a more "simple" switch would do fine considering it is for my bedroom, and I don't think I'll need to access the console or web interface too often.

    Switch Recommendation

    Oops, I actually meant to say 4900 (Layer 3 gigabit switch), not 4400. I got the 4900 from work, and its really just small things about it which bug me. I hate the console menu. It feels so limited, I'd much rather prefer an IOS type shell, and I find it pretty crazy that you can't change the...

    Switch Recommendation

    There is a fan in there?! I guess mine is already failed.... unless it is unbelievably silent :| The HP Procurve 1810G really does seem appealing! Hopefully I should have one by the end of next week! Now I need to find a replacement for my 3com 4400 Layer 3 switch.... I hate it! :( but...

    Switch Recommendation

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a small, 8 or 12 port switch which could sit on my desk in my bedroom? Currently I am using a Cisco 1548M Micro Switch (HORRIBLE!!!). I want to replace this with one with more features, eg: - better vlan support - Maybe QoS and...
