T.h.e.r.a.p.y.You. do. not. understand. IT.
Get out of here. You don't being in [H].
BAM! Nailed it. I think I have some AUI transceivers and some 10BaseFL media converters around. Apparently the kiddies like the old stuff.Truth! Guess I should be taking more pics of any old 2924XL's that I rip out.![]()
yeah this is at home. The ISM-SRE-300 is basically a small blade server which runs one of several applications available from cisco. I'm running AXP (application extension platrform) which is essentially a virtualized linux (customized centos) environment, so I can have it do whatever I'd like. It can also interface directly with the router cli and pick up data and modify the running configuration, though I don't have a need for any of that. I have mine running asterisk 1.8, freeradius, bind, dhcpd and cacti (plus mysql and apache). It's good because it's reliable and eliminates the need for another server running those basic functions. You can also run cisco unity express on it and apparently they're coming out with wireless lan controller and network monitoring applications for it.
Where is that Cisco coffee cup from?
Not to be a A$$, but i would bet it came from Cisco, probably a piece of swag from some event or something.
What made you want to get this setup and how did you afford it?
Each host has four, 10k rpm SATA drives.
Are you sure you don't mean 10k SAS drives? If your getting 10k sata drives I need to know where your getting them from
It's not like I can cram those in my SAN and it be supported.
Why are you mounting the switches and patches backward? That is, why aren't the cable connections towards the hot side of the rack, where the NIC cable connections are?I've started virtualizing everything at work. This is a work in progress at the moment.

I've always done the opposite. The patch panel goes "up" in the infrastructure to a central patch or a central switch. The switch and the patch panel's ports face the hot isle, and patches from the machines go up the wiring gutter in the rack to the switch or patch panel, as needed.
In this scheme, where does the cable from a particular server go? It seems that it must wrap around from the hot aisle (where it connects to the server), back to the top of the rack on the cold aisle, through the body of the rack. This means the cable isn't accessible as the rack fills up. I think this scheme causes lots of problems, like the sloppy green cables that make U35-36 useless; or the blue and purple cables that look like they're going cross-cabinet someplace.
If I have it right, to add a connection in such a configuration access must be available to the patch panel which is at the crowded end of the rack where the back of the keystones or sub-panels aren't accessible. Or, cables hanging and slack. I guess one could also leave a couple of U under the patch panel, but that wastes space andYou set up the patch panel that all the cables go out behind it and then down (or up) one of the corners of the racks, branching out to any servers if any.
As for the switch, it hooks into the patch panel exclusively, hence why I say the purple and green cables look temporary. Rarely do I ever connect a device ditrectly to the switch without out at least one patch panel inbetween.
that's too bad. How are you solving the cooling issues?2) The switches are mounted forwards due to the fact that the space behind the racks will be limited. I have the cables from the servers coming up the cable management tray in the back into the back of the patch panels above the switches.
Is there a standard to how to mount the switches for wiring ? I have seen it both ways some are on the rear for all the ports some are on the front of the rack.
