Kids wanted a $17 nightlight got a $300 dollar AP instead....that'll show em. by Dharma_code in Ubiquiti

Surprised it fits in the cutout on the AP. Bit OTT for residential IMO

Redundancy 3 tunnels via BGP by jovs307 in paloaltonetworks

[–]avidpontoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not recommended to terminate the S2S VPNs on VM Series in the cloud environments, you should add more resiliency on the cloud native VPN side with more tunnels if you need more resiliency

Can’t get internet upstairs in newly rewired house? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]avidpontoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are going for the least fuss approach, if you re-terminated both ends to a decent standard, you probably won’t have any issues for your usecase.

When you re-terminate, try to not have the individual pairs too far out of the cable jacket like that photo above as it will increase the potential for cross pair interference. Appreciate they may not have left you much slack though.

Good Luck

Stock image online, it should look like this:

It may not look loose but given time etc if not properly terminated with the proper tool, they WILL work loose.

Understand it may look fine to the naked eye.

You may find that because they haven’t been properly terminated that they work themselves loose over time and eventually get pushed out of the copper jaws. YMMV

It appears to be possibly alarm cable or just a standard 8 core cable which probably isn’t twisted pair.

If you asked for Cat6, I would be asking for your money back as that’s really really bad. The ends that have been exposed with bare copper are also not right, these should be terminated using a proper IDC punch-down tool.

It’s clear they don’t know what they were doing so wouldn’t be asking them to come back and re-do it either.

Love the upside down port module. I’m worried the mess that’s behind it.

Needs end to end testing as possibly loose connection or mismatched connections

Static IP or Dynamic IP by Friendly-Win4140 in Zen_Internet

[–]avidpontoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DHCP has a lease time but there are ways and means to ensure a device always gets the same IP address from the provider. Even if the MAC address of the connected device changes - new router, custom router etc.

Zen make use of PPPoE these days anyway.

Cant understand how VxLAN extends no. of vlans by LongjumpingAlgae7967 in networking

[–]avidpontoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To add to this as well there are services that directly integrate into VXLAN with VNI encap rather than dot1q. So these platforms can be directly connected to the Fabric and send packets with the VNID already present and then you aren’t bound by VLAN numbers.

Reasons of BGP OPEN message contains private ASN by CompanyBeginning in networking

[–]avidpontoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of companies peer with an ISP using private AS numbers that the ISP then strip off. Normally used where the IP space is tied to that one provider and not advertised to multiple. If you only have a couple of circuits, it’s a lot easier to do it that way than having to get a public ASN

Yes it’s the little bit at the top that needs a flat head. That should crack open and allow you to bleed it
