change your window size (upto 64K) with iperfs -w switch to get a better throughput - yours will be running at the default 8K. I was doing some testing yesterday - and finding out how crap VISTA networking is (or rather tweaking oppurtunities!) - my W2K3 box from one interface to another (through a VM) over GB LAN using either the switch or a direct connect cable maxs out at about 460MBits/s - my vista 64 box (P6T WS i7) to the same server maxes out at about 860MBits/s (with all the discovery crap switched off).

Here's part 1 of X of my network in progress.

Finished pulling “my” wiring for the upstairs this weekend…
~(30 Cat 6, 25 Speaker and 15 RG6) from the attic to the basement.
I have a 42u 19" telecom rack waiting right below all those drops which I have yet to drill into the concrete :)

Holy crap!! That's a lot of runs!! Why so many? Is this going to be an office space or do you just want network drops on every wall?! ...and more pics!!
 
The short of it is that instead of running seperate phone, network, Distributed Audio Controllers, IR, potential baluns, etc, I just ran a crapload of Cat6 since most everything will run on that these days.

If ya'll think it's interesting enough to document in it's own thread, I'll do that :) I have a few more pictures that would be of interest.

I'd second this, seems interesting!

Worklogs are always appreciated around here. Gives everyone an idea what kind/how much work is involved in doing a project, and motivates others to go about their projects!
 
Added my worklog in it's own thread for those that are interested. So far the pics are not that interesting, but I'll add more as I go.
 
My quick Visio diagram. I guess I should label some stuff, eh? :p

Network Diagram.jpg


Give me a day or two and will label everything :D
 
It's impressive that you have all that stuff, and none of it connected to eachother in any way :-D

This is the network gallery, I don't think sneakernet counts!
 
Its not really hard to flip pictures right side up before uploading them. And at least make them a sane size for web viewing.

Hah hah hah. It should be a barrier to entry. Can't post your network pics if you don't know how to edit them. :D

Got this Cisco 1130 AP free from someone who said it was broke.. :D

5 minutes later and a fresh IOS it works fine. Thing sure has some range on it too.

POS on top DOS voicemail - no joke
Homemade P4 to run the projector in the conference room, using bluetooth keyboard/mouse

I want to VMware all the boxes onto the 2850... someday

Temporary pop to solve running out of available customer fibers.
Could have used shorter patches but we had only 2m cables.

That is awesome, I found one on here

That is the one we have. It started as this wall mount and a bunch of towers, now I wish we just had a 7ft four post rack to combine the two racks into one.

*Note: if you are going to pick up a wall mount rack like this one, get the deeper size. I had to fabricate up some extenders to mount the watchguard (can't see in pic) and luckily the switch has mounting holes all the way back.

You never really appreciate how much stuff you have until you have to freaking moving it.

But a nice temp setup for the dsl. Wireless for now, but it's something...

100_1077.jpg


Punch down block for all of the phones in the house. Also to split the dsl so I don't have to filter anything

Here's a quick one of mine. I'm studying for CCNA right now so that's why I have some cisco stuff. The Netgear equipment is used to wirelessly bridge the connections from one end of the apartment to the other (got tired of tripping over a 25ft cable).

Sorry about the over sized pics!
 
Added a little over 1000 users to our network this weekend in a consolidation project, so in goes a shiny new router and added another 3750 to the core switching stack :D

I'm not happy about how sloppy the patch cables look up top, but I'll wait till a rainy day and punch them down to the patch panel and manage them all neatly. Getting it running is the first priority :)

Cheers :cool:

Okay i got to ask, network n00b here so to speak, i always see this in racks (yours the bottom yellow cables), you have one box, with cables in every port, going out to another box, with cables in every port....

what exactly is that set up doing?


I guess i am just used to seeing 1 cable going from one box to another....
 
The black unit at the bottom is actually a patch panel. Front side is port, back side is usually a punch down with cables going to another location, either a device or another patch panel on the other end. It makes labeling and tracing cables much easier, and you only have to do it once while you can recable devices with out running entirely new cable the whole way.
