CatOS. It's still good to know. plus you'll have experience with a fully modular switch. I like it cause it's flippin HUGE. something like 90lbs loaded :eek: -- most people don't know what to say when they see a switch that big...i scored the 5505 and the 2 2613's for 80 plus shipping. :cool:
I...
For my home lab i now have:
3x 3640's with 128D/32F
1x 2610XM that needs maxed
2x 2613's (one for a 4 port frame relay and one for term server)
1x Catalyst 5505
Working on:
(2) or maybe 3 Catalyst 3550's for switches. these will work up thru CCNP so this is one area where spending a few...
ICS will work for basic internet needs on windows platforms. never used it though.
i have zeroshell set up on an OLD pc that can now act as a router/gateway. to go this route you'll need a PC with 2 NIC's and a CDROM drive. it's not hard to setup at all. the entire live cd is only about 150mb...
Fine sharing might be inevitable but for gaming there really isn't a pure need for everyone on gigabit. if they're lagging i guess they should quit file sharing til after the tourney ;) lol
I have a few other ideas on how to utilize this hardware outside of lab duties. the LAN party was...
I happen to have (2) 3640's as of today along with my (2) 2613's - the 2613's are only 10mb via a NM-4E so they're relegated to frame relay/terminal server duties. the 3640's however will work well i have a feeling.
Did some research on the 4006 switch. what modules are you using with that...
CCNA with progression into CCNP eventually.
from what i understand the 3640's are relatively flexible and come highly recommended for a home lab. one 2613 will be a term server and the other a frame relay switch. the 5505 was strictly an awesome impulse purchase. i don't have any legit study...
you're damn right it is. i've blown almost 300 on gear this month alone
(2) 2613's with WIC's
Catalyst 5505 with Supervisor Engine III G (1000base-SX GBIC) and III (100base-tx) and (4) 24 port 10/100 modules
(2) 3640's with max memory
Smart serial back to back cables
T1 Crossover cables
need a...
instead of DLC it would be nice if they fix the obvious lag and hit detection issues first. you know. the main reason why i had to sell that POS in the first place.
people want better games? quit buying shit ones and the DLC that they profit so much off of.
just got off the phone with hawk express
all orders will be cancelled. i made sure mine was manually cancelled.
they did state HOWEVER that since the pricing was right and true from the distributor AT THE TIME that IF THEY HAD ANY ON HAND TO SHIP THEY WOULD'VE SHIPPED AT THE POSTED PRICES...

So something like ZeroShell would be great? i downloaded that and am trying to get it configured on a P3 800EB with 256mb RAM and 2 NICs - i would think that would work. if not i can always take a 2613 and pop a couple 1 port cards in it and let it do the work.
i was in for 3 of the 50gb version at hawk - total after shipping 71 bucks. roflmao :p
likely won't ship but if they do i have a very happy laptop and desktop.
if even one works it falls in line with current pricing per gb so really not all THAT bad.
if all 3 work. bonus.
if they fail to ship within a reasonable timeframe per their website. well i know right what to do. like i said. not worried.
if it's an error they'll likely cancel. and i'm...
in for 3 of the 50gb versions. they're only listed at 18 bucks and change. rofl.
If they even try to dick me over the bank will have them in a sling real fast. i'm not worried.
GNS3 for me has been a godsend but i haven't got much beyond 3 routers yet. no funky issues that i'm aware of.
I always set new IdlePC values. i run a Q6600 @ 3.333ghz with 4GB RAM and i can run the aforementioned 3 router exercise with little to no cpu usage and the total ram used is...
i looked up extreme networks switches on the egg.
WOW. sticker shock. srsly. :eek:
I'd say you have a VERY robust setup. don't think you'll outgrow that ANYTIME soon.
These are the kind of things i'm looking at though. I got such a killer deal on this purchase i couldn't turn it down...
so a simple PC active as router assigning addresses and managing traffic through a 48 port switch.
i'll assume the ports off to the left are gigabit to the server below?
How do you set up your network infrastructure for the larger LANs you host? like what equipment and configurations?
I've come across a Catalyst 5505 pretty cheap for my home CCNA/P lab but in the downtime i wanted to get a boatload of people together and make some magic happen.
you will want to rip your ears off and puncture your drums with those delta fans.
fan controller required. and make sure it can handle the current. IIRC those draw a LOT of power.
i haven't ever used the stock clips or fan gromets with my xiggy. i got around the problem you posted with some small all-thread rod and some lock nuts. i made a big ass xiggy sandwich with my 120x38mm deltas that i had at the time. bent a couple fins, ran the rod straight through, tighten nut...
i've used jabtech in the past when it comes to some odd fans or coolers. pretty good deals on some fans in bulk pricing as you see. usually the top 3 i used to hit were jabtech, sidewinder, and frozencpu i think. i used to know about half a dozen places for cooling and mods off the top of my...
may want to search around. might be able to find a better deal on the fans
EDIT: Newegg beats jabtech by virtue of newegg actually displaying free shipping in my cart (26ish for newegg 30 for jabtech). if you wanna pay 4 bucks more jabtech claims 2 day shipping vs. newegg's 3. new egg is...
i think this will have no issues cooling my Q6600 if i don't go water instead.
i would end up going with a 3 fan setup cause i am captain overkill as long as it didn't interfere with my ram slots.
I'd like to know what the absolute wildest batshit crazy aircooler is that can still mount to S775 with some sort of upgrade path.
I'd also like to know the best waterblock currently on the market.
the last time i did this stuff a DD RBX was king. i had twin watercooled AXP Tbred-B's. that was...
Going through my usual "bored with having a somewhat overpowered for daily use PC" phase and doing nothing with it...so i put a Q6600 back into action for Team 33. It's only been. geez. a LONG time. I never got around to building a farm like i wanted because i constantly get distracted and/or...
I lost access some time long ago over some arguing in a number of threads. i bet it's going on at least 2 years now or longer.
Just wondering if i could have this access restored?
i hate sony for plenty of other reasons. i had a PS1 and PS2 - when this gen came around all of my friends got a 360. so i went with that. the only holdout was FF13 and it went cross platform so i made the leap.
if more than one of my friends had a PS3 that they even played anymore id...
