+1 I run two Ubiquiti NBE-M5-16 NanoBeams in a 900 Meter P2P connections and they work great.. Sand storms, RF interference and power brown outs/surges and they are still have no issues. Plus they are only around $70 per station. But if you want to do it on the cheap/dumpster dive and you...

Cisco is pushing the X series ASA. The first Gens are getting older.. looks like the 5505 is still supported but the 5510 is EOL... But the 5520 is more then what I need for my home server room. Sure beats a Linksys WRT54G! Have you looked at Cisco packet tracer? You can get a CCNA rather...

I can start a Export business! :D I scored a ASA 5520 on craigslist for $200 a year ago. Also got a new in box APC 1500 rack mount SmartUps for $50! Got to love going out of business sales!

Look around your local music store. A lot of the time they have switchable rack mounted switchable PDUs for cheap. your looking for something like this? http://www.amazon.com/American-Pc-100A-Mount-Power-Switcher/dp/B0002GL50Q

Depends on model of phone and how depends on what firmware version your running.. But generally you can add multiple extensions. If your using CUCM/CME, Cisco has some great guides (eg http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmeadm.html) If your...

I would keep a eye out on craigslist... I picked up a 48U, 4 post APC rack with a metered power distribution units for $150. Also, leave room for expansion, looks like your working on a CCNA/CCNP, but you never know when you will drift into a ASA, TACACS server or Call Manager. But if you hard...

crack it open and look for any blown capacitors/MOSFET. check your power rails.. use your nose and smell around... if its digital, then your basically SOL. Good Luck Mr. Maverick.

Depends on what route HP goes.. If they go for "home use" then Aruba will crash and burn, but if treated Aruba as "corporate" then they do provide descent product, at a cost. long term, I am worried about Aruba.

The Aruba 220 series are great APs. Your lucky to find a deal on them. Just as a FYI, Aruba got bought out by HP back in march. I hope HP does not bugger things up. Also, If you don't buy the product from an "Approved Aruba Partner", Aruba will give you a run around when it comes to...

Half Life and Sven CO-OP..

NMAP TCPDUMP IPERF Ixchariot Proper Documentation/Network Diagrams... But they never exist..

Try http://nerdvittles.com/ Ive been running a nerdvittles/pbxinaflash PBX for 3 years and i have had zero issues. (Except when the SATA backplane went up in flames at 2am...) For hardware i have a Intel atom D510 desktop board mounted in a old 2U server case. It has no fans and use very...

Depends on how evil the Corp is... I've done remote mitm attacks on a network over a VPN loaded on a client machine (wife's machine) as a proof of concept. You should be safe, but there is always a risk when you connect anything to a network. (printers: Old school FTP bounce attacks on HP...

Very nice and very clean Jen4950. It's always good to see someone moving to a better location and new hardware. Site moves are always a pain and create that moment when you force the swap and everyone looks around waiting for the world to end.

Are you going to shock mount the rack? I worked on a high mobility unit that used "wire rope isolators" and it helped a lot. http://www.vibrationmounts.com makes some nice ones. Then again, when i put a full Comm Suite in the bottom of a tour bus, i used 1 inch rubber isolators and it...

Yes..... With the price of 871s these days they are disposable. I used to mount all the hardware into pelican cases, but i find it easier to just travel with everything loose.. Anyone else have a travel network? (AnyConnect/openvpn clients do not count.:p.)

No one has posted for a while, so here is what i am rocking right now... Its down right basic compared to my home server room, but i literally had to carry this equipment to this site in my backpack. Every ounce counts. MBR1400 doing multi wan, 871 doing IPSEC back to my main site and a few...

I have a 5 pound ABC fire extinguisher... but no automated system.. hum... sounds like this weekend project... ... arduino fire suppression system... ;) and the drives are fine.. i had to chip some melted plastic off them. but raid is still healthy.. and i created a backup just in case...

Asterisk server went offline at 0310.. and filled my home server room full of smoke.. the wife was NOT happy... the actual Sata back-plane shorted out. after 271 days online.. Great Chinese quality.. Thank you Microcenter! time to remove soot from server case with rubbing alcohol and a tooth...

i would go with the two systems, or have a emergency plan. If you go with the one primary unit, like i had to, then make sure you have a back up plan. i have a contract with a local vendor to have two 5 ton mobile AC units at my site in under 3 hours. I also have two 1.5 tons mobile units...

Try Endian firewall.. not bad at all...

Awesome dev system. Anyone guess what it is? looks like a advantech SOD-DB5800. What are you using it for? they are a interesting peace of tech... i used a similar Computer on Module system in a "extremely" remote site. keep up the good work

Is that a blow-up sheep? things were wild back in 2001... "what happens in the server room, stays in the server room".. i know where one of those old Compaq DL360 machines still in production is.. Sad..

Cut up the box and build a Man Fort!

Check the native vlan setting. i had a similar issue with non-tagged .1q traffic before.

i used to do this to my wife through wake-on-lan to mess with her...(along with vnc, random mouse movements/random text.... ) then she got smart and firewalled me out.. the dehumidifier function is a new one for me... the video has some acting Ive ever seen! >...

Ive done specialized destruction in the past and we would remove the platters on "important" HDDs then we would pulverize the platters a grinder type apparatus. We would then chip up the control boards from the HDDs. We had to have a chain of custody on all HDDs, so it was a right pain. You...

They are all over Craigslist for cheap. i guess that's what happens when HP buys you out.. They are good for basic labs and non-profit origination.. Ive installed a few in community centers and churches (local volunteer work). Open standards like 802.1Q make them still viable.

It was indeed obvious. 3 days to trouble shoot a network issue that took me 20 minutes was nice. Did you have cisco works or something running, or just monitoring the distant end switchs?

You sound like my old counterpart ... i flew all the way down to aruba once becuse of that same issue.. portfast was enabled... free vacation.. ;)

OHHH NO!! ITS UN-PLUGGED!!!

They are not loud compared to a Cisco 6509s or the older 1U Cisco call manager, but when compared to a cisco 1.5U 3750 switch or my atom asterisk server, its a jet engine. The loudest think i have running is a couple of old 15K SCSI drives that i will soon replace with a SSD setup. Most of my...

i had a netgear router making a crazy noise a while back.. i just went in and replaced all the capacitors with high quality Japanese and noise went away.. and router stopped locking up.. amazing what good parts can do.. i did have a AMD motherboard with the iron core issue similar to the...

ive been doing it on a 3 Node intel D525 atom cluster for about 4 months.. no issues so far.. then again, i am not pulling much power... and yes i know a atom cluster is stupid.. but i had 3 boards laying around and got the "what if i did this" syndrome.

just use a static-guard air compressor /Vac or some alcohol.. a soft long brush and a stiff short one.. and a bunch of Qtips.. take your time... brake cleaner has a tendency to eat stuff.. the electronic cleaner spray also has a tendency to damage sensitive components. and they remove the...

i know its not heavy on usage, but i run a MAME cabinet off a old San-disk USB2.0 disk for years now But for gaming (as in FarCry 3 and Skyrim) i will stick to my SSD... keep the large external USB sticks for bootable distros..

Wait until i tell my overly opinionated apple loving (only because its trendy / Hip) boss... i am going to put "made my child labor" on all his hardware tomorrow! MWA HA HA HA HA!!!1

Now anyone who unlocks their personally paid for phone will be labeled a hacker by the media. Its like saying if you buy a ford, you have to use only BP gas stations... Bull...

i use endian and i have no problem gaming.. i host 2 minecraft servers that see HEAVY use..
