Network pics thread

Well whats not in the picture is a 2ft rocket dish and the total cost with everything is about 1k.

what is the cost for that?

me and the wife are moving about... 150m away from her mom in the same complex and i wanted to run a wireless connection to her house so she could link to our internet...

Something actually networking related...

Excuse the crappy photo, didn't feel like digging out the dslr. Better pics tomorrow with gear in it.

EDIT: SKELETEK C28U-4P-EX16 (28u rack with 16u of 4post)
 
Who needs a fireplace in the living room when you can enjoy the heat and the soothing, flickering LED light from a rack of networking gear?
 
I got my new 1 u 4 bay server installed today, however this BITCH is loud :( drove me nuts today, i turned on smart fan II witch quietn'd it down TONS but not as quiet at the brother under her.. Was reading in the manual that i can change the thresh hold, I THINK this has to do with how low ( slow ) the fans will go.

The brother server under is a asus with a xeon inside and it's SILENT until you reboot and then it's loud for about 40 seconds then settles down and becomes silent.....

Looking in the Manual more, i see that i can install the ASWM and log in via web browser and toy with it.. might do this tomorrow.

I'd be interested in knowing how that works out.

I'll let you know tomorrow :) right now the baby is sleeping, and i don't have windows server installed on it yet..Still have to setup the raid to toy with this beast.
 
Broke the rack down for our power install. 50amp 220v

Biggest twist lock plug I have ever used...

Took this opportunity to rearrange everything in the rack and give myself more space for room cable management.

Still waiting for the cable management, correct wiring, and some small parts. Getting closer :)

Anyone want to guess what was wrong with this battery pack?

Bit of fun news, my work may be moving. The new location would need to be completely built out and is nearly twice the space. Can't wait to find out :)
 
It's all wired into a circuit, thus resulting in stressing/draining/shorting the batteries, thus resulting in dead batteries assuming they've been that way for a long time?
 
My iPhone sucks for taking a picture of this, but the entire battery pack has a light brown burnt haze from a pack shorting. 2.2v-9.8v on all the packs. No wonder it was telling me it had a internal short...

Unfortunately LACP is a bitch and is a sure thing to create loops in that chaotic environment. So basically we have decided that you´d rather have a stable 1Gbit/s than a barely working 2Gbit/s.

Huh? How does LACP create loops?
 
End user loops are a concern regardless of LACP, no? And multiple ports in a bundle shouldn't go into standalone mode.
 
Eh, whatever. Pretty much everything you're saying is silly. Who the hell channels to end users? Also, even if you're right about ports going into stand-alone mode, who cares? That means they're normal ports running STP, and not a concern. If you have switches dropping BPDUs, get new switches. Again, this is not an LACP issue. You read any SRNDs lately? Many of them recommend the use of LACP, and for good reason.

Didn't you say somewhere that you work for Cisco? That kinda scares me. Agree to disagree, I suppose.
 
ior said:
I am bashing LACP is in the _context_ of the end user earlier in the thread commenting on my crew not having the time or will to do LACP to _his own_ switch on The Gathering 2011. So are we really disagreeing? I use LACP all the time, and yes it works just fine. Not just in this scenario.

So to summarize;
Who the hell channels to end users? - Not TG11 on the access layer at least. In the core, sure.
That means they're normal ports running STP, and not a concern. - It is if you don't control the neighboring switch, which we wouldn't in this scenario.
If you have switches dropping BPDUs, get new switches. - Not my switch, and I am not buying him a new one.
Again, this is not an LACP issue. - True, however I personally would be happier if I could disable standalone mode.

No sure how to make it much clearer than this :)

---I guess we agree here. Though it seems to contradict or at least conflict with what you said earlier.

That means they're normal ports running STP, and not a concern. - It is if you don't control the neighboring switch, which we wouldn't in this scenario.
---Once again, this is independent of LACP. We're just talking switching and STP here. I'm not sure why you're allowing switches you don't control onto the network.

Again, this is not an LACP issue. - True, however I personally would be happier if I could disable standalone mode.
---Why? I don't see what standalone mode hurts. But here's a link to get around it, to a degree:

Anyway, this all began with your first post on the subject:

Seems like you've pretty much come full circle since though, so I guess we're mostly in agreement.

Well if that came out of an APC unit, my guess is that the APC UPS unit, engineered with great care (*sarcasm*), overcharged the batteries, causing them to swell and now you probably can't get them out of the battery tray without hacking the metal apart? amirite?
Also by having the batteries so close together, they cooked themselves too. And when the 14 days self-test comes on to check the unit, the UPS shuts down, powering off servers, since the batteries are shot. I've run into this numerous times with APC units, which is why I no longer use them.
 
Still working on it.. apparently the majority of my rack ears were lost in the move.

Well I'm finding out that I can't assign an address to anything other than vlan 1. Well this isn't good since we don't use vlan for anything.. literally nothing
