Network pics thread

A little network fun for a local school/church.

Cisco 2911
12x Ubiquity UAP-Pro
Cisco SG300-28P
2x Cisco SG300-10P




 
It makes me laugh when I see all these posts about churches and the tech they are having installed, just wouldn't happen over here

Oooooh 2900 isr, just about to get 6 of those in
 
Specs of the servers as I didnt include them:
Dual 8 core procs at 2.9 something
192 gb 1600mhz ram, tripple chan
4* 10 gig nics
Dual internal sd cards for esxi (rtedundant)
no hdds
 
Sometimes Cisco has front to back cooling, the 5510 etc so you need to be careful howo you rack them. Not sure on the 2911 though.
 
I love how others feel the need to critique other peoples setups, especially when they have absolutely no clue on the specifics or variables involved.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Took this beast apart today, re-soldered the power connector now it powers up and works. Did the factory reset and now i have a free Cisco ap :)

On one of my calls today, a customer was asking about taking his old tower and using it for WHS, so i told him how to do it and then said why not buy a hp unit they make them, he kinda chuckled opened his closet and pointed at this unit, i said ya that, he laughed it died its going in the garbage :) Even gave me all 4 cady's for the HDD's

SCORE!

Oh yeah ? how much ?

I don't even know how to re-install the os or get it working since there is no vga port or anything.. It just a unit with no drives..

Lol

Why so touchy? I just said the router looked like it was racked the wrong way, if its that way for a reason then that's fine, if you just like it that way then that's also fine, it makes no difference to me.

Maybe enlighten me with the reasons it's that way and what the router is used for etc.

I looked into them a while back there was a nice source of info on mods and repairs for them. If memory serves there is onboard video you just need the breakout cable for it. At the time there was a guy making them. I'll see if i can track down the info again for ya.

there are a few good right-ups and sources for the cable's to connect to the internal connections for those ports. also the software cd/dvd will do the re-install for you if I remember correctly or via a usb thumb drive, I cant seem to remember at this point ( I was heavily researched them back when they were still pretty new, before atoms became much better )

this one is just a toy to screw with. If anything ill drop in some spare 250-500 gig satas and play with it on the home network for maybe movies or something...

ill take her apart and clean it, fix the psu and go from there...

Which one is it dash?

Ex490?

If so give me a buzz, they are great....
Upgrade the CPU to a e5200 and they purr along.
To reinstall the OS, there are some tricks... But it's pretty easy.
Any troubles give me a PM

Tip.... Extract ISO image or CD to desktop before restoring (run restore from that)... As restore from CD fails 80% of the time.

I really need to find one of these (or build a similar setup to this w/o spending more than a few hundred dollars.)

is that one of the new xeon systems on SB-e? with QC ram? or a cluster?

It's gotta be a cluster. I can't imagine throwing that much ram on a single node ESX host.

Way to ruin my fun. :p
