Network pics thread

they are coring bits, so it doesn't remove all the meterial, just cuts around a cylindrical part of material.
 
I understand that. But does it grip the 3" concrete cylinder or does it drop down onto whatever is below it?
 
Just visited the forum after a long time to have a look if this thread still exists :). Always nice to get back and look at all those magnificent setups.

I've got a pic of our lanparties "NOC" I'd like to show off:

0100.jpg


- BlackDiamond 6808
- MGE Pulsar USV
- some really old machines like Proliant 6400R, 2x 1600R, DL380 G1, some IBM server (actually can't remember the types) - they are used for network monitoring, DNS server, intranet, asterisk
- some 4HE Servers used for game-servers

Some other lanparty stuff:

Some cheap mobile communication devices from Zyxel. They were really cheap at ebay in germany so we couldn resist. The rest of our communication is based on some cisco 7910, 7940 and 7960 served by asterisk.

Some Shuttle barebones we use for game servers. We had to rent them for every lanparty, driving some 400 kilometers each event.

The next lanparty in march will be different - we have some new hardware: an IBM bladecenter E chassis with 12x HS20 blades of different types. It's supposed to replace all those Shuttle barebones as well as our old Proliant 1600R and Proliant 6400R. I'll try to do some pics of that setup during the lanparty in march and post them.
 
Well below us was a basement... you'd never drill with people below you. As it made a lot of water mess and the bit kinda falls out actually. It just falls straight down. They were big chunks.The holes 3" wide by about 4" in length. So thats a big piece of concrete/rebar that falls.
 
They're on the rear, as mentioned. Doesn't matter to me, it's doing its job just fine :)
 
just got a new Dell 3548P PoE switch to add more Linksys SPA942 phones to our network, have to get some pics once i clean the rack out.
 
The V1410-8G is tiny, just .96"H x 6.5"W x 3.8"D, not exactly 'rackmount' dimensions.
Probably meant as a high quality desktop switch.

**edit** why did the forum mysteriously turn 3 words I typed into a link unrelated to my post?

Exactly. Same as the V1810G-8. I have one sitting on my desk at work and it is an awesome switch, however it would look extremely awkward in a rack.

Where are you from? I see "FL" in your handle... then i see the army netting... i went to a lan party about 15 years ago down in Florida that was at an army base or something... was kinda neat.

Do you have any updated pics since finishing your office move?

I think I posted some pics of my Hadoop cluster a few pages back, but things have been pretty stagnant in the new hardware front for my company.

I was thinking about taking some fresh shots for inventory purposes, but nothing really has changed around here.

I am pricing out a proposed DR site in a colo though. If that happens, it'll be mid-summer and I'll have a ton of pics then. It's basically a fully-redundant setup with BGB between two carriers, multiple routers, switches, firewalls, VPN concentrators and load balancers, sitting in front of a 3-host ESX cluster and a redundant fiber channel SAN.

I tell ya: It was fun just coming up with the list to send to vendors for preliminary numbers. :cool:

Holy cow what are you doing, replacing every switch in you organization??? That is a serious amount of hardware you have sitting on that table.

I would love to see some after pics as well. Am I a boner for loving network closet porn or what?

Hello Hadrien. Welcome to the Network Pics Thread.

Yeah, but you get to do it all Your Way (tm). It's not often that you get to rip the guts out of your wiring closets and Do It All Over. Use velcro ties instead of zip ties and do work that'll make us proud.

Plus: Post pics or it didn't happen.
 
Sorry weak cameraphone pics! 3 new additions:

24 port gigabit POE cisco (*cough linksys*) SGE2000P switch



Cisco 7940 ip phone



SuperMicro "SuperServer" 1U Intel Atom D525 (Dual Core 1.8GHz) absolute beaut! Very quiet and very low power consumption!



I still haven't had time to rack everything and get all the old stuff up and running since i moved house :(
 
Let me know how you like that supermicro server. I have had my eye on one since it appeared a few pages back in this thread.

I really want to use one as a utangle box, and it looks like it is shallow enough to fit in my little desktop rack.

I love it! So quiet and it's only pulling about 30W at the moment, so it's pretty damn green too (it has a 200W PSU)

I'm using this one as my "remote access server" but thinking about using another as domain controller and another for trixbox (at the moment all my servers are running on esx/xenserver on beasty loud, power hungry hardware... i need to work out the best way to go)

Only drawback is no out of band management interface- although i have a feeling it's possible to add something...
 
I might even try sticking xenserver on a couple of them!

*EDIT* Boo! Apparently lack of VT on the atom chips means no windows as guest os on xenserver.

My Home network/rack.

My two 35/35 FIOS connections coming in to the house (Fiber -> Ethernet):





All the cables coming into the closet of my server room (outside FIOS and ethernet drops around the house):



Picture of the back of the rack with the patch panel at the top. Ports 9/10 are the two FIOS connections that go to the top most machine that acts as a router:



All the machines and drops from the patch panel go to the switch:



Front of the rack:

 
One word man...BALL3R!

What's that last Server for (bottom), which looks like a DVR?

For FIOS...Balanced i hope right? or if not how did you talk Verizon into allowing 2 ONT's for the house? (unless you have 2 accounts in two diff names..)

Are you talking about the 2U device that the monitor is sitting on top of? That is actually a 1500VA UPS:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842106110&cm_re=2u_UPS-_-42-106-110-_-Product

So not a server.

The FIOS is both load balanced and bonded. I bond the connections via a VPN but I don't route all internet traffic over the VPN (mainly just HTTP, ssh, and some other things in order to get the total speed of both lines over a single connection for http downloads, rsync transfers, etc..)

Here is a speedtest going over the bonded connection VPN connection:

868194348.png


There are a few ways you can get two ONTs and two FIOS connections but the easiest way is to have both residential and business service. Residential 35/35 is only available with triple play and the whole package cost $99/month with tv/phone + around $10 in taxes so around $110/month. The business 35/35 is also $99 (just internet) and no taxes) so I am paying around $210/month for both. I would get the new 150/35 (its actually 150/65) package but unfortunately my neighborhood is on a bpon splitter and thus the service is not available to me (it is available to several other addresses of people I know who only live a few miles from me though) otherwise I would get one (maybe two) of those connections.

The only better package available for me right now is 50/20 however because of the higher upload I would rather have two 35/35 than two 50/20's. I upload a lot more than I download.
 
Damn, that's a really nice setup, houkouonchi!

I wish we could get FIOS here. Probably wont happen in my life time. I work for the local ISP and they have no plans due to costs involved.

Small peak of my networking eqipment. I have the rails for a rack, I just need to assemble it once I get a place of my own. (Renting an apartment with a friend.)

From top to bottom:
- Mikrotik 450G. Doing DHCP, VPN, and all firewall duties.
- Ubiquiti PowerAP N Acess Point for Wireless N and G.
- HP Procurve 1810-8G - Main switch.
- Dlink DNS-323 2x1 TB Drives RAID1
(To the left:)
- ISP 2Wire Gateway used in bridge mode. 10/.768

Not pictured:
- Atom 525, 4GB RAM, Server 2008 R2 for AD, DNS, Filestorage, TeamSeak, and game servers.
- Gaming Desktop.
- ESXi server.
- Xbox 360
- WDTV-Live
- Netbook and Tablet
- 2 iPod Touches
- BB Storm2
- Roomate's laptop and netbook
- Wii

Junk on the couch is stuff my Power AP N replaced that I got around to tearing out tonight. Ones a PicoStation2HP and the other is a WifiStationEXT (incredible range on both). Also a DIR-655 router.
