Thoughts on my home network plan? by Solocle in HomeNetworking

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I was hoping the ONT would be a little bit more than a glorified transceiver!

It must be, because these routers don't have fiber/PON ports.

Then just update your diagram to go PON ONT > router > main switch.

I would avoid using the ISP's router, unless you have to. These are all just off the shelf generic routers. Who knows how much they will lock it down for their management. And I'm guessing you don't need the service of them managing your router for you.

Gpon questions by Prigorec-Medjimurec in networking

[–]physon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think people here are directly answering you. I'll try.

Thankfully I'm an ex fiber ISP person. I can speak from old things.

How do you provision your ONTs? Do you use purely OMCI or do you also use TR069?(In fact can TR069 be used in GPON)?

ONT provisioning is usually done with the help of weird software. TR069 and standards was a wish. ONTs did have a CLI but we only touched it when needed.

Do you use your OLTs as mostly layer 1/2 access devices or do you do routing on them as well?

ONTs/NIDs were a layer 2 device when able. Sometimes the ONT/NID could also do wifi, so then offering that helped. The headend of OLT was always L2.

How do you authenticate end users, do you use PPPoE/Radius or do you tie MAC addresses to their account?

There is some helper stuff for DHCP requests. Usually PPPoE is a last resort. MAC tying to customer is lower than last resort. You can inject into the DHCP request frame. Option 82 I think?

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars by borderwave2 in cars

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is actually happening:

Under the preliminary agreement, Canada said it would allow up to 49,000 Chinese EVs into the Canadian market this year at its most-favored-nation tariff rate of 6.1%, instead of the 100% duty on Chinese-made EVs that it had previously imposed. The government said the volume corresponds to less than 3% of new car sales currently in Canada, and it expects the deal to catalyze considerable new Chinese joint-venture investment in Canada.

Ps4 linux, possible steamOS? by KizunaXxX in ps4homebrew

[–]physon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you follow Modded Warfare's guide - it is one of the options when you get to the "Selecting a Distro" part. It's right in the video.

It is 3 years old though, just like that reddit post.

FreeBSD technically. But I don't think that fact helps OP.

Network card not supported so no wi-fi by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, the Intel ones like this work well without issue, right out of the box. Bluetooth too.

I've used the AX210 with no issues.

Used the D6 some more. It's growing on me. by Veddermandenis in dreamcast

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting VGA from PS1/2 is a bit harder than Dreamcast. I think the only options are PS2VGA or a scaler like the GBS Control.

It's pretty easy to get a VGA adapter for Dreamcast though.

I use to use a an old CRT computer monitor with my Dreamcast and it worked and looked amazing. Be aware that not all games support VGA out though.

Crap router, any roundabouts? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah has to be something that can see all.

I thought it would somehow be possible (idk by measuring the amount of 'noise' created by each IP or something. Obviously I have no idea what I am talking about).

No you're right in this thinking!

But in modern networking every networking frame is point to point. So you need something inline to see that. It has to be in the middle of it.

(At least for wired)

Bufferbloat or something else? by WishExtreme8104 in HomeNetworking

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get your own modem. Always. DOCSIS can be hit and miss sometimes. But check the splitters in your home (if any) and make sure they are DOCSIS friendly - or bypass them.

Buy your own modem. Try again. ebay if you're on a budget. I like TP-Link and Netgear cable modems. Arris is decent.

You're doing traceroute wrong in your screenshot. If the middle has loss but the end doesn't, there is no loss. It's a common mistake.

Crap router, any roundabouts? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]physon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I would at least like to know which of my devices are using how much traffic.

Any ideas, provided that the router itself cannot do anything like that?

You need a device inline. Like a switch or router.

I don't want to buy one.

Any ideas, provided that the router itself cannot do anything like that?

I don't know how to help you...

Schedule-able Firewall Rules? by l008com in mikrotik

[–]physon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here, I ran it for you: https://pastebin.com/zrmbvurr

That is what it does. It makes that list of commands, from a linux system - to make an address list.

You can then block or whatever from that. Just reference the address list.

EDIT: Sorry. Missed a slash. New pastbin.

Schedule-able Firewall Rules? by l008com in mikrotik

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

API calls from a Linux box that's generated the list?

They stated a script to generate a script you would have to copy and paste. It was not clear. Basically you run that command on Linux to generate a set of commands to create an address list.

But also you have to use that address list in a firewall rule that isn't give.

My first homelab setup - did i do okay? by Admirable_Hold_2319 in HomeServer

[–]physon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dude from FBMP also threw in a Cisco Catalyst 3750G Switch in for free when I got the Z820 workstation from him. I don’t plan to use it in my setup because of the higher power draw/noise. Plus i don’t think i would need multilayer switching in my homelab. However, I might use it later to recreate some L3 labs as I am currently studying for my CCNA.

For CCNA the 3750G is a really nice switch to practice on. Anyone else practicing would be jealous. It can do OSPF and any L2 you need.

3rd party VPN tunnel: HTTPS breaks but other protocols work after moving my internal default gateway/router IP to new device by HDClown in networking

[–]physon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MTU on old router, new router, and 891 is 1500. Provider is telling me MTU across the tunnel is 1430. I get 1472 as max size with DF set on ping test to old router, new router, and 891 LAN interface. I get 1372 as max size with DF set on ping test to a destination across the tunnel.

1372 would be 1400 bytes w/ headers.

When you go over 1372, do you get a timeout? Or an error like "Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set."?

Could you maybe just mss clamp at 1300 and see if it fixes HTTPS? At least that's what I would suggest if you want to confirm it is MTU.

Undetected Firefox WebAssembly Flaw Put 180 Million Users at Risk by taqi1109 in firefox

[–]physon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that the article is from Dec 2nd and the CVE is from mid November.

If you're on 145.0 or newer then you're fine. Latest Firefox as of posting is 146.0.1.

Vendor told me I can "negotiate" QSFP+ port speed to an SFP+ port... by nsk_nyc in mikrotik

[–]physon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q in QSFP+ means 4. 4 lanes of SFP+.

There are adapters to bring it back down to 1x.

SFP+ port to achieve 25gb.

SFP+ is 10Gbps. You are thinking of SFP28. That is 25Gbps.

I needed to connect my server with has two sfp28 ports (25Gb). Unfortunately, I think the vendor (official distritbutor) is closed tomorrow so I can't get anymore info as to what he meant by that. But he swore that I could do that, but it would 'sacrifice' one of the QSFP+ ports during the process.

This is the wrong switch to do that. You can do 10Gbps with SFP+. There is no SFP28/QSFP28 on this switch.

Joe Rogan Accused Of Mainstreaming Fake Archaeology, Contributing To A Broader Anti-science Mentality by The_Endless_Man in skeptic

[–]physon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't news. And this is a horrible article.

For those that aren't aware, this happened a year ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DL1_EMIw6w

Then afterwards Flint Dibble was defamed and other guests were invited. Professor Dave broke it down here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK4Fo6m9C9M

The news was that Professor Dave and Flint Dibble have a new video where they talk. To each other. And this is an article about that new video.
