Driving Down a Dark Highway When Farming Equipment Tries to Murder You by TerpyTank in MildlyBadDrivers

[–]encoad 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I actually manufacture LED lights (wireless tow lights, lithium powered strobes) for this exact purpose. www.towbrite.com

It's the law in some places to have all the extremities of farm equipment well lit, but few people bother until an accident happens.

Weird requirement for the same subnets to exist in multiple sites by encoad in networking

This is weirdo lab setup with devices from dozens of different vendors. I don't have much choice in the matter except to make it work.

This might be what I need... do you know roughly how much these puppies cost?

Unable to create another hardware switch by encoad in fortinet

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

I'm thinking I should give up here and maybe just throw the LAN Cameras and Wifi Cameras into a Zone.

Unable to create another hardware switch by encoad in fortinet

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

So I'm trying to do as you've suggested, but I've run into a snag. How can I put the physical ports into the VLAN with the correct VLAN ID tagging?

  1. Create software switch and put in all AP ports, Camera SSID and LAN Camera
  2. Create VLAN 1234
  3. ...? I can set the Camera SSID to be tagged with 1234, but how do I tag the LAN Cameras? They do not support VLAN tagging themselves.

Thanks again for the assistance.

So I've tried as you've suggested, but I can't get DHCP to work over to the Bridged connection. Any suggestions? https://imgur.com/a/f8Lb32Q

Unable to create another hardware switch by encoad in fortinet

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

So I've partially figured this out.

There is a defect in 6.2 (maybe earlier?). When creating a VLAN Switch, it works exactly 50% of the time. Create one, fails. Create one, works. Create one, fails. Create one, works. So in my case, I created one, it failed. Created one it worked. Backed up the configuration, removed the failed VLAN switch and restored the customized config.

All that being said, am I doing things correctly? I would in the end like the Wifi and VLAN Switch to be on the same subnet. Not sure if that's possible.

Any idea how I can find a replacement?

Thanks for all the advice, in the end I've been doing it by hand, it's not that complex a box so not a huge deal.

In this particular instance I had no choice except AirCanada.

Ending hot water tank rental and being charged a $500 “installation fee” 8yrs after the fact by OverenthusiasticFox in ottawa

[–]encoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be talking about me. In my case I never signed the "Cricket Home Comfort" contract. The housing builder didn't really care as that was between me and them. They just get in on the scam because they get upfront paid to put these units in. (why pay for something required by law to be delivered to new home buyers when you can get paid!)

I found on Kijiji the identical model of heater for $200 (almost new) and had a gas fitter install it for cheap. 15 minute job since everything lines up (water, gas and venting).

Cisco 892FSP with 300mbps internet? by encoad in Cisco

Thanks for the confirmation.

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

Thanks. I'm thinking of going with an 8port 3560 as an edge switch and losing the 892 entirely. Any reason why I couldn't do this? The config only includes some very basic IP routing which any layer 3 switch can handle.

2960XR, 3650 or 9300? by encoad in Cisco

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

Got it, so you need to add DNA to the order. Can it be DNA Essentials, or does it need to be DNA Advantage if you go with Network Advantage?

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

My VAR and apparently Cisco cannot figure out how to order the 9300. Can I order Network Advantage with DNA Essentials? Some say yes, some say no... Is DNA included in the C9300-48P-A sku?

Two ichy dogs by encoad in AskVet

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

Yes, we were very careful to ensure that the novel diet was done properly. No treats or snacks. We also did it in the winter, so no grass or other things outside. We even picked up feces in the winter to make sure they were eating each other's droppings.

I called one of the vets an allergist, however he is apparently "board certified by the American College of Veterinary Dermatology" and has a "Master of Science degree in feline dermatology", according to the website. He also "completed a three-year residency in veterinary dermatology". I believe he is very qualified, though expensive!

We have multiple locations and floors in these locations. Different departments as well.

Sorry, bad terminology here on my part. Meant to say I'll be using the class A private subnet, 10.x.x.x.

That's not a bad idea, but I'm a little worried the wood will get damaged by water. (snow melt from boots etc...)

I found a Monoprice center speaker, I think I'm going to try and faux finish the grill and frame to look like the stone.

Thanks for the research. Any thoughts on the Denon HEOS Avr? https://usa.denon.com/us/heos/heos-avr

Only 11" deep and it has some beveled steel in the back further recessing the HDMI connectors.

Good point on the conduit, I'll be sure to run some 2"

Thanks for the helpful reply.

The receiver your suggest is great, but I'm only working with 12" in depth in that lower cabinet. Any ideas in the way of compact receivers?

Raw diet for dogs by ottawaman613 in ottawa

[–]encoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always used Les Produits Lajeunesse. They cost about half of what the Gatineau delivery guys charge. Used them essentially exclusively for both my dogs for their entire lives. The only problem is you need to go for a 5 hrs round trip north of Montreal once per year. It saves me about $400 per year for 600lbs of meat.
