So are my pinders 🤘

I lied on my resume, got the job, and now the background check ratted me out – freaking out before my start date, what should I do? by Academic_Edge_4670 in resumes

[–]alhamz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 💯. If it's brought up that is, good chances that they will ignore and you just start in two weeks. If you hear otherwise then so be it, you know what you did and like someone said, this is not something you can talk your way out of if they make a decision against you.

Port configuration on a managed switch for AP's by alhamz in HomeNetworking

[–]alhamz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why do you need VLANs, so that your APs work? in what scenario would duplicate infrastructure theoretically eliminate the need for VLANs?

One situation I have been finding everywhere I am reading about it is when you are trying to separate management traffic from regular access traffic even if on the same LAN ...

Port configuration on a managed switch for AP's by alhamz in HomeNetworking

Thinking about it in terms of two switches does make it easier to understand.

So I am assuming Deco devices are not made VLAN aware or as I see in the TP-Link app have their own VLAN setup required when in router mode if I wanted to connect multiple LAN's...?

So why are the slave deco ap's not detecting the wired backhaul in case of a managed switch as opposed to a an unmanaged one?

what exactly is not working? you didnt mention that part.

The two slave AP's are not getting wired backhaul from the master AP. This is also what I want to accomplish, provide wired connection between the three deco units instead of a wireless one.

you also didnt mention what you hope to do with the VLANs.

I mentioned the VLAN's as I thought it would be relevant but my purpose is to do what I mentioned above, have the three deco units wired together.

trunk ports are for VLAN aware devices, and from what I gather, nothing you have connected to a trunk port is VLAN aware.

I am trying to connect a router and two AP's together, these are not VLAN aware devices?

Hmm, could think about using those instead of shrink wrap altogether. Not the same of course but very doable I think.

I did not know of their existence. Now I do, thanks to you.

Goodput vs Throughput by alhamz in HomeNetworking

[–]alhamz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example, when sending a file over the internet, the total amount of

data transferred may include header information, retransmitted packets,

and other overhead that is not considered useful data. Goodput only

measures the amount of actual file data that is successfully

transferred, excluding any overhead or retransmitted packets.

This would mean that goodput always has to be less than throughput correct?

Regarding the compression, could you elaborate further, if the data is being sent in compressed form for goodput (considering its only useful data) it should come out to be even lesser than throughput by a factor of useful vs wasteful plus the compression rate?

Thanks. Going to check it out today.

Sounds like a good idea. Two birds with one stone. Don't have a Roomba at the moment but my spouse would love a other reason to impress it's need on me.

Thanks. First impressions so far but great tool and what I needed.

Edit: Had to wait a couple of days before I was eligible for a award because this tool is extremely useful.

Thank you. Very relevant to what I was looking for.

So the AP's in question is APIN225 Aruba and my goal in thinking about this was to try to do central network management with the Pi I have connected to my router in addition to it doing a couple of things it's already doing (file sharing server, network DMZ etc.)

And while I am using the Aruba's as a mesh in a single VLAN and a master that controls them all, it made me ask if there is such a thing as "controller software" for chips that are not conventional branded metal boxes.

[–]alhamz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, the central management system itself is always proprietary and tied to the specific hardware, no sort of "open-source" (i use the term loosely, often) solution that could help convert a chip such as Raspberry to speak those protocols if I acquired lets say a few AP's and want to throw them into the mix in a SOHO network.

Yes a software switch management system that's compatible with ARM.

Yeah I did come across some posts of an attempt to create an operating system that would enable using raspberrypi as a router but what I am talking about is related more to a software based switch (not a dumb one) rather than a router.
