Network pics thread

New toys just came in, fireboxes. The XTM 25 is for a remote site with VPN.

The XTM 510 is to replace our older X-Core Firebox. I received the first one and the second one is coming in soon. Will be using it in a cluster.

nice!

I have a 60C and a 40C now, and hopfully the 60C will get upgraded to the 100D later this year
 
We use them and the more I'm exposed to them them more I like them.

300s in the colo, 200 in the office for a spare connection and a 100 in a remote office.

Great boxes

Better than Sonicwall or Cisco asa ?

Are they priced higher ?
 
They're terrible. We have to reboot ours once every few weeks because they lock up. About to get replaced with Palo Alto PA-4020's.

Did you buy that on purpose? Hopefully you lost a bet or something.

Strange. Out of the dozens we have installed and the few that I consult for have never had one lock up yet. Got several with a couple of years uptime. Contacted support I suppose?

what box and what firmware rev?

I've had issues on 2 of their firmware rev's on the 60C, but the last one( 4Mr3 patch 7 I think) has been flawless.

uptime: 25 day(s) 21 hour(s) 51 min(s)

it was rebooted for the firmware upgrade. havent had to touch it since. its running a 192bit encrypted VPN to the 40C at another location, which has the same uptime

comprable to cheaper, especially when you get above asa 5505 territory

ouch.

I've been very pleased with my purchases on them. the only reason for a potential upgrade is due to a potential upgrade in bandwidth, and the possibility of one with the SOC for encryption on it so I can go to 256bit or higher
 
While many IT Admins dislike Watchguard's, I quite enjoy ours in our production environment. They have a certain learning curve but once you get around it, it's working well.

Ours are rock stable so far, with only a minor glitch when we installed VoiP lines, it needed a reboot to correctly apply the new firewall rules...other than that, it's been very good fo far.

I do admit that I don't have extensive experience with other firewalls except PFSense and other software firewalls though.
 
ricer :p


nice wheels



installed and powered up a dell powerconnect 2724

for about 3 minutes

its coming back out for disassembly, I need to get a new fan, the delta in it is way to loud

fan = easy to change, id put the fan at 5v, THEN make a plastic shield to guide the air over heatsinks. One thing i see that lacks in switches and products, if there was a shield in it to guide the air, they could make them much quieter.

Our car doesn't look like that, ours is stock, and ricer or not. K20 ALL the way :)
 
I have worked with the ASAs, Sonicwalls, Watchguards, Fortigates, IPCop, Untangle and a few others. I have found something to like in each one, and something to hate in each one.

Why no CentOS?
Click to expand...

I have no real answer for that beyond that my linux experience is almost zero in the last 10 years and debian was recommended to me for that purpose

upsides/downsides to me using debian? its likely only going to run cacti


what I really dont get is....I tested the install process in virtualbox

and now that I did the exact same thing using the same ISO on a physical machine I have no GUI installed by default


I must have screwed up somewhere

centos has good documentation

Im not really a linux guy, but i have had an easier time doing similar task in centos vs debian based distros, just due to documentation.

2nded, I dislike Debien based linux, RH based stuff makes me happy.
 
How about we all use what works for each individual person and purpose instead? You know, kinda the whole point of Linux is the fact that it can be tailored to fit a specific purpose. Like a fucking phone, or a super computer... Or that missile headed straight at you.

Here's a picture of my shitty RJ45 wall jack.



Just so we get back on topic with networking related stuff and I don't get an infraction. :D

Don't sweat it, they're pretty good boxes! I support and deal with what I believe is one of the larger Fortigate installs in the world, and they've been pretty rock solid from what I've seen. Most issues we have are just updating policies because "x" device can't talk to "y" device...
 
Well, a few weeks ago I started using the TZ210, since I got another free year's subscription and probably many more years. I'm actually going to use it more.

I did notice one day when I was working on things in my rack that the TZ210 got warm, so I got more curious and borrowed my dads laser temp gun. Just as I thought it was getting warm, so once again I popped the screws out of the case, and measured the temp on the actual cpu heat-sink. YES YES THIS beast got warm, no need for it to be sitting at that high of a temp.

Outside the case,

And actual Cpu Heat-Sink,

So a week or so went by as I was planning out a new fan & bracket, the person that was going to make the bracket for me got to busy. So I had to bring out the dremel & drill press and make my own.

Soldered a 3 pin fan connector so I can remove the fan when ever I needed to, the fan is now running at 5V and is quiet.

DSCN3334.JPG


Made the bracket, it holds the fan in the middle of the chassis between the main board & top of the case so it can pull air in, then push it across the cpu heat-sink.

Took the Dremmel to the side of the case that the air blows out. The cutting disc that I had broke just as I was cleaning the burrs off the case, so ill have to tackle that some other day.

Fan mounted with main board.

All up and running, :) ( yes that's 1gig in & 1 gig out.

Case on,

NOW she stays way cooler, and runs faster. Sure the manufacture has a spec on the cpu and how hot it should get, BUT if you keep it cooler, then there will be no issues and will last MUCH MUCH longer.

Next year or this one, I might buy a NFR NSA2400.. :)
