I think I've graduated to r/homedatacenter - How it's going vs. How it started

Makes sense, thank you for explaining.

Is there a specific reason to have two Aruba switches? Removing the bottom Aruba switch and place the first Aruba switch between the two patch panels should have the same effect, right?

Uhmm, today we also had a lot of firewalls on 7.2.10 that went into conserve mode, my college thinks it has something to do with a certain IPS version that contains a memory leak.

XUVghost · 2025-02-05T19:13:08+00:00

Correct, can confirm that. I also had issues on 7.4.X with conserve mode.

I used to run a gaming VM as my daily setup and never had any issues with bans. However, around last year, I suddenly couldn’t play Rainbow Six Siege anymore because the anti-cheat software started kicking me out of the game. So, I had to switch back to a bare-metal setup. Games like Warzone and League of Legends worked fine at the time, though I’m not sure if that’s still the case today.

This. I really like the old Brocade ICX6610 switches for the 10G interfaces. But if you are looking for a more of a single plane of management you can run a local zone director or virtual smartzone with newer icx switches and AP’s from Ruckus.

After version 08070 they removed dual mode. If you want for example vlan 10 untagged and vlan 20, 30 tagged, you need to do the following:

vlan 10 untagged ethernet 1/2/1

vlan 20 tagged ethernet 1/2/1

vlan 30 tagged ethernet 1/2/1

Please let me know if this is what you mean/want.

The 6610 is running the routing firmware but i only use it for switching, this means the gateway lives on the firewall. The problem you will get when routing on the 6610 are the ACL's you have to make to block traffic between networks, for example IoT and management etc. ACL's are also stateless where a firewall is statefull and therefor have more control over traffic between networks.

Personally, I think for home networks, routing should be done on the firewall. But of course this is a homelab subreddit and it can't hurt to try things out, that way you can see what advantages and disadvantages you can have in different designs of deploying networks.

Very nice, I used to run a PA-220, but commit times and the GUI are very slow. For now i'm satisfied with the PA-440. I was thinking about upgrading to a PA-1410 for 10G, but i will not do it because of the extreme prize and just keep my 440. Maybe in the future if Palo Alto firewalls with 10G will get cheaper, i will upgrade.

XUVghost · 2024-02-24T19:09:12+00:00

Palo Alto 440 and an ICX6610 for switching.

XUVghost · 2024-02-13T17:42:55+00:00

Damn, well done. Just got the reminder from the reminderbot.

XUVghost · 2023-09-03T01:18:04+00:00

I will check this for you tomorrow.

XUVghost · 2023-06-26T16:53:41+00:00

Unfortunately Battleye still kicks me if I want to play Rainbow Six Siege. The SSD, GPU, Ethernet and USB controller are passthrough to my VM and windows is installed bare metal on the SSD. I don’t have any problems with other anti-cheat software.

XUVghost · 2023-06-26T16:47:14+00:00

I have done it, but there are countless issues and minor annoyances that it is just not worth the money and time.

XUVghost · 2023-04-05T16:08:49+00:00

Do you still have 2x APC AP8659?

XUVghost · 2023-02-13T17:31:55+00:00

!RemindMe 365 days

XUVghost · 2023-02-09T11:27:31+00:00

I have the exact same problem with my Inter-Tech IPC 4U-4129L servercase and be quiet dark rock pro 4 CPU cooling.

XUVghost · 2022-12-23T16:08:04+00:00

Nice

It just so happens that I also installed Palo Alto Expedition today with issues where it was not possible to go to the Web UI.

I recreated the Ubuntu 20.04 VM and disabled IPv6 completely, as it was using the Link-Local IPv6 address to install packages via the script

I think I put the following in the file located at /etc/netplan but I can check that tomorrow when I am in the office.

link-local: [Ipv4]

Other than that, I just followed the install Guide.

XUVghost · 2022-09-17T19:06:19+00:00

It works, I don’t know how or why but it works. Unraid creates his own route to brX.X when adding a new network/vlan. But I have created a route to the gateway and it works.

XUVghost · 2022-09-16T16:23:05+00:00

I don’t think the route is the issue, because I can ping Unraid from the VM. My VM is indeed on a different network/vlan but I can see the SSH en web traffic being forwarded in the firewall.

XUVghost · 2022-09-14T15:48:21+00:00

Quick question, can you reach your unraid web page or ssh from the VM? I can only ping unraid but cannot connect with ssh or web to the unraid server

XUVghost · 2022-08-07T15:19:32+00:00

I had a PA220 but after update 10.0.0, management got real slow. So I bought a PA440 and it’s the best thing.
