nisuj, I know the feeling, but I just got a full 42U at home. Just got done getting all of the screw's/ears for all of my equipment. Just need a rack mount case for my server. But, I might cut down the rack to a 32U, I need to be able to fit the beast into my closet. lol

I couldn't pass up a panduit 2 post rack for 20 bucks ;). Kid I knew used it for a while then it sat in his closet because he never used it.

I have most of the ears and stuff for mine...im just in limbo right now, since at work we have "standardized" on panduit exclusively for all our closets, mdf's and datacenter's, and theres a row of chatsworth racks i have been removing equipment from in one of the mdf's, im just waiting for them to say "toss em" to take one or two home, or for them to decide to keep them in a corner til they get in the way...im going to need a full 42 before i know it from everything i accumulate...not complaining though since before i know it ill have a full ccie lab

Just curious and not trying to judge. But what kind of setup is this for? Home, office? I don't see the need for a 24 port switch for ~10 devices.

Just for home use plan to use some of those ports on switch for vlans already have the switch and rack. Plan to order 2 poweredge servers to finalize everything up got the ms software free from college so its not as costly.

My contribution... Switching everything to rackmount soon, 14u cabinet coming in a few weeks which will fit everything I have planned.

From left to right:
Fileserver 1, Virtual host, Nas, Email, Ubuntu dedi, Firewall, unused. Two 1750's are a Server 2008 (multi-purpose), and my s2008 terminal server.
This is my production / testing network. Used by myself and a number of my friends (running a lot of apps).

Yeah I've been busy. Recently moved so thought I would make everything look good. Finally have everything in one place instead of all over the place at my old apartment.

Well, I finally got the 42U cut down to about 36U. I have to pick up a couple more ears for my Cisco lab equipment, and I need to get a rack mount case for my server.

I'll post some before/after picks once it's all done.

For the people posting pictures of their cages in data centers... what is the policy for taking photos? The one we are in freaks out if they see a water bottle and photography is definitely not permitted. They don't seem to be able to enforce things like camera phones though.

I think it mainly depends on the center. Some are OK with it as long as you're just taking pics of your equipment, and not other peoples.

the one at my company doesnt really matter, we actually own the datacenter space, they sold us like 20k sq/ft as a "condo" in a large 250k sq/ft facility, so i can do as i please really the dc operators are all employees of my company and the building mgmt people have no right to go in there at all, no one has said anything, but i dont think i would ever bring a camera into take pictures

As others have said, it really depends on where you are. I can take pictures of all of the stuff in my company's on site data center as well as all of our customers server/networking gear without issue. When I go to the data center at school there are certain things I can take pictures of, and some stuff I can't. I also used to have a couple game servers that I hosted in a data center in MA when I used to live there. Even though the equipment was mine the policy was no cameras, no removable devices (that one of their techs didn't control), no food or drink, and you were only ever aloud in the racks supervised to pull your servers out or put them in. You had to pull them all the way out, go somewhere else to do an upgrade or hardware troubleshooting and then bring them back.

I did a bit of reconfiguration:



Everything is GbE ;)

pink = trunking
gray = switches far away and wlan ACs
blue = internet
red = ESX Server
black = connection - router - lan
yellow = desktop
green = test nodes
orange = storage server

His signature says: Samsung 2343BWX 23IN Widescreen LCD Monitor

I found it funny to see that you've bought of the crappiest devices from Apple (the AirPort Extreme), but don't use a Mac ;)

@MAFRI: I love the pink cables and the HP ProCurve. Sorry if my recommendation doesn't work for you that well, but I'm still VERY satisfied with my smaller 8 Port 1800-G version..

I had 2 of them here, first was stinky and didn't worked correct. After 1 month replacement time, Apple had delivered a REAL stinking one! It was breathtaking, so I gave it back and got my money returned. I'm happy with 2x AirPort Express Stations + a Linksys Router in my house :)

the two top right that are the same are the management modules (redundant), the one of the left is teh system support module, houses things like system clock (mich are part of teh chassis on teh cisco cats, if mine dies (130 years mean time to failiure on these) i swap the card, cisco boys have to swap the chassis.)

the two half way down are redundant switch fabric modules, if one dies i loose half the bandwith but switch still runs.

the top two modules (below management and system support) are zl 24 port gigt and the bottom modules are mini gbics.
hope to add another 2 of the 24 port coppers soon and maybe some 10 gig with some of our 3500's

On paper, they should smack the Nexus7K in the mouth, but we'll see how they handle my testing...
