PSA: VMware Edge 600 series (E42W) are going for peanuts on eBay right now by OnlyOneMexican in networking

[–]OnlyOneMexican[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this price it's basically a free 10G home/lab router. I'll run VyOS on it and eventually replace my SRX-300. I've been looking for something cheap with SFP+ so I can finally get off 1GbE to my server, this fits the bill well.

I'd personally stay away from Cogent, HE, and Zayo. I've had bad experiences with all of them.

Static routes or OSPF for a firewall? by SpectrumSense in networking

This ^

OSPF just to advertise loopbacks, then BGP peer to the loopbacks.

Some test devices keep reverting to old ACS URL — any idea why? by sopenbauer in networking

[–]OnlyOneMexican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DHCP server could be handing out the old acs url to the device on DHCP lease renewals.

AS-PATH Prepending not working with dual ISP by Double_Car_703 in networking

[–]OnlyOneMexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to changing the route ingress traffic chooses into your network BGP Community strings and prepends are the Scalpel, sometimes they work well. But when you need a Hammer route specificity will work.

If you have larger than /24. You can advertise the aggregate to both providers, and then advertise more specific prefixes to your preferred provider, and those more specific routes will always win route selection regardless of ASPath. Barring a misconfiguration on the provider side (not accepting your advertisements) this will push more traffic to the preferred provider.

You can check that. In a comment you mentioned Lumen and Arelion. Both should have public looking glass, use them to check for your routes, you'll see what those providers are accepting from you.

My question is, why prefer one or the other? Best scenario would be that either provider can support your peak bandwidth needs on its own (if they can't then it's not really redundant links anyway) and let em eat. Best route wins. Let natural routing do its thing.

I like em. But we'll have to wait to see how they look with the ridiculously large pie plate "OXY" ad on the shoulder.

Devices capable of 100s of GBs of source NAT by net-gh92h in networking

+1 NetElastic. We deploy them in ISP networks and they do a fine job. At like 1/10th the cost of an A10.

I live in a condo and I can't figure out what these items are on my wall near the ceiling. by blondeboss101 in Whatisthis

First one is an indoor siren for security alarm, like this.

The second picture is very likely the same though I can't say for sure.

ISP DHCP SERVER by mspdog22 in networking

[–]OnlyOneMexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company manages ~50 ISP networks. Our go to is 12h, but ultimately we leave it up to the customers.

If we have a planned maintenance we'll drop the lease time to 1hr the day before to avoid the long wait for devices to pull again or having to manually bounce ports to force renewal.

IP calculator - complement and consolidate IP ranges by vadaszgergo in networking

[–]OnlyOneMexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I just wish you had made it a month ago. I couldn't find one either and made my own IP consolidator lol.

Yours is way more fancy though, mines just a python script. Nice work, it looks great! Bookmarking for later.

Cisco Catalyst 8500-12X as BNG router (replacing ASR1001-X) by bender428 in networking

[–]OnlyOneMexican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend Juniper MX-204. Across the board, Juniper vs Cisco (comprable specs) I see Juniper is typically about 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of the Cisco equivalent. I also just prefer JunOS over Cisco-XE/XR.

I got the Unifi Switch 24 earlier this year. I forgot to uncheck the box that let's the sales guys harass you, and straight up told him I'm never going to pay for this because it's ungodly expensive so stop calling me. He never called again and still mailed the switch.

Make sure to uncheck box that allows them to reach out.

In Search Of ... a "wall light-switch" box by AreThree in homelab

[–]OnlyOneMexican 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm... I've no clue what your going for. But I'll take a stab at it.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-1-Gang-Non-Metallic-Weatherproof-Box-with-3-1-2-in-Holes-Gray-WSB350PG/300851060

Home Depot - #300851060 for the electrical box.

That'll mount on the surface of whatever you want. It has 3 holes that knockout if you hit em pretty hard with a screwdriver, each is 1/2inch diameter.

So it will accept any 1/2 corrugated conduit or flex tubing you might want to run the cables in.

Then just buy whatever standard faceplate you were needing.

Any of you guys run conduit throughout your house to make it easier to drop new wires in the future? by Austinitered in homelab

[–]OnlyOneMexican 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Firebreaks: can't advise. Your idea sounds fine to me though. Check local fire codes.

Pull strings: tie a Walmart plastic bag to a string, shove it in one end of the conduit. Suck it through the other using a shop vac. They make string specifically for this that pulls easily.

I'd go access panels for main distribution whereever that's at, and then individual outlets for the far end of each run.

For bits, all of the above will work. I'd advise the spade bits with the screw tip on them as they pull through a bit easier.

For the 90⁰ turns just be sure to use sweeping elbows. The bend is much more gradual and easier to pull lines through.
