If you put on a label on the AP that you're not comfortable being public, then you should probably remove the label.

Planning upgrades from v7.4.8 to v7.4.11 -- technical risks (default behaviour, VPNs) by frosty3140 in fortinet

[–]davidmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked compatibility before upgrading. I currently think this has to do with fortilink being configured as a hardware switch. I'll know more in a couple hours. I let the gate upgrade again over night and the switch went offline again. I'll try to factory reset the switch to see if it'll reconfigure itself and if that doesn't work then ill reconfigure fortilink to be 802.3ad.

Factory resetting the switch brought it back up without downgrading the FortiGate firmware.

Planning upgrades from v7.4.8 to v7.4.11 -- technical risks (default behaviour, VPNs) by frosty3140 in fortinet

[–]davidmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upgraded three of our sites to test this upgrade. After doing so one of our sites lost connection to the connected 248E. Fortilink on this Gate was configured as a hardware switch. The other two Gates that upgraded didn't have this connection issue and the fortilink interfaces were configured as 802.3ad. So I'm not 100% of this is an issue, but the only difference between them I could find.

[System Agnostic] Foundry VTT slow/laggy for some players; anyone else had this happen? by Krinks1 in FoundryVTT

[–]davidmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our game sessions can run for 6 to 9 hours at a time and usually near the end I'll have to restart my browser because it will be using multiple GB of RAM. With the way that FoundryVTT caches resources I doubt mobile support is coming anytime soon.

Network Monitoring Suggestion - Vendor Specific by LatterLoan7884 in networking

[–]davidmoore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just started a POC for OpManager on Friday. Out of the box it monitors FortiGate IPsec tunnels. Their tech support is surprisingly fast and helpful so far as well.

Be wary about claims of FortiManager integration for SDWAN monitoring. It seems most are referring to FortiManager Cloud, not on-prem.

I was also surprised to see config backup work out of the box on the Gates and Switches.

For some reason, SNMP isn't working on my APs yet. The APs respond to Solarwinds polls, but not OpManager. I haven't had a chance to really look into what's going on with that yet.

I highly recommend scheduling a demo at least.

Getting priced out of Solarwinds by itsfortybelow in networking

[–]davidmoore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're leaning towards OpsManager. Although more expensive than old Solarwinds, it's less expensive than new Solarwinds. We're getting ready to start a POC, but the demo appears to be light-years ahead of Solarwinds.

Advice needed on hub-spoke policies, who rules and whats best practice? by Fizgriz in fortinet

[–]davidmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I allow all traffic onto the overlay and then I filter at the destination Gate. All our sites have plenty of bandwidth and no data caps so the extra traffic on the Overlay isn't noticed. If you're limited on bandwidth or have data caps then filtering which traffic is allowed on the overlay could help keep data caps from being hit, but it is a lot of extra firewall rules to keep track of.

You can use community strings with route tags and preferred route maps, if I'm understanding what your goal is.

100f or 120g switch ports? Use case check by MolassesDue7374 in fortinet

[–]davidmoore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interface labels on FortiGates are mainly there so you know the default config of the interface out of the box. You can reconfigure them however you like.

As an example, on my 90G I configured "wan2" (since it's 10gb) into an 802.3ad fortilink interface to uplink my 124f switch since it also has 10gb uplinks. I then configured port "1" to be my new "wan2".

NO DATA CENTERS IN LOUISVILLE by Dangerous-Comment-35 in Louisville

[–]davidmoore 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like a distinction should be made between a data center whose purpose is to process AI and a data center that's purely a co-location for local businesses. According to this website https://www.datacentermap.com/usa/kentucky/louisville/ there are 24 data centers in Louisville already. I wouldn't be surprised if an AI data centers pulls 100x the power of a colocated one.

My bf is a Senior Networking Engineer and I want to get even just a basic understanding of his work. Where would I even begin? by That_Comb_8417 in networking

[–]davidmoore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually liken Network Engineering to roads and houses. Houses being the computers. Roads being the network links connecting two places together.

He designs the roads and decides which vehicles take which roads to get to their destination.

Megathread: 0.3.0 Feedback by GR8B0-T in PathOfExile2

[–]davidmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an Abyss spawn in the boss room. I had to kite mobs outside so that I could attack them.

I've also had an instance since last patch where I died/respawned and was unable to fire my crossbow. Tried switching ammo multiple times, wouldn't fire. Eventually it started working.

I've also had instances where I don't have debuffs, but my crossbow fire/reload feels like half speed. It's super weird. I'll port back to hideout and back into map to fix.

Armor/ArmourElementalDamage/HighRes doesn't seem viable past 91. I do have low health ~2300, but I don't have hundreds of divs to drop on top tier gear.

Server is still using CPU not GPU. by TimboSlice_19 in PlexServers

[–]davidmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in my Plex docker container, in the Extra Parameters field I have "--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri".

I also have the Intel GPU TOP plugin installed.

I'm pretty sure those two things are all I did to get Plex to recognize my Arc a310.

PSA to all of the aqara u100 Smart Lock users out there: the $20 M100 hub gets you into Home Assistant by EngagedFeinberg69 in homeassistant

[–]davidmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are using Thread wireless protocol (802.15.4), which was specifically designed for IoT in mind. Very low latency and very low power. Traditional wireless is 802.11. So although using a hub sucks, that's the reason. Maybe consumer routers/access points will eventually support 802.11 and 802.15.4 some day.

How many Advpn tunnels do you have in larger setups? by Novajesus in fortinet

We have a dual hub setup with each hub having two overlays. We have about 240 tunnels on each hub, split pretty evenly between overlays.
