    Network pics thread

    One thing you have to be aware of, is that the x850 versions of Dell Poweredge Servers (1850,2850), do not support VT for virtualization. So you're going to run into a problem if you want to run ESXi. Im not sure where the HP's fall as I only had experience with the Dell servers. The only...

    Home Office Build

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but any of the x8xx series Dells are not able to run 64bit OS's in a VM. The only one that can is the 6850. It's a bios issue, theres a "flag" that tells that the processors are VT capable. Although you may not care, my biggest problem was that I couldn't...

    Question about the Skeletek rack

    Im not sure the dimensions for the Gen11 rails, but I did inquire to find out about my Gen8 Rapid rails, and it is a no go. The distance between the inside of the channels is too short.

    Need a switch recommendation for test lab

    If no gigabit needed Cisco 2950 buy it now on fleabay 38.88, if you want Layer3 capabilities Cisco 3550 on the bay also, buy it now $70. If you need gig, in that budget prolly Netgear or a HP Procurve if your lucky.

    Console Server vs SSH

    Yes this is for a home lab. I just wasn't sure if you can telnet or ssh into a device through the network that you arent directly connected to. Connected to the device that is.

    Console Server vs SSH

    I have a bunch of Cisco gear coming in a couple days, and have yet to figure out a solution besides cable hopping. Once the original config is done on the gear, everything can be connected to via SSH correct? I'd like to get a 2511 or 2509 but the high cost prove otherwise. And a NM-16A card is...
