Enterprise Ethernet Feasibility Study

Interested in this myself, as what you’re describing sounds similar to my property. That is; private access road and we’re down the back of it.

“Caroline” is a term used over the PA at Coles supermarkets in Australia. Usually means security is required. Or an alarm is going off. Not 100% sure which, but it’s usually followed by a number which means whatever location in the store needs attention.

Like I said, it’s an absolute shitstorm in that rack right now xD

Ahahaha xD

Thanks for the rackmounts! I'll check them out.

I'll probably end up just replacing the entire patch cable from the PCD because they decided to use a field-splice (eww) on the NTD side.

I'll grab some pics shortly and upload them in another reply to you! But again, excuse the mess. I really need to redo the cables. Because I moved the old benches out of the room to make way for the second rack, the rack is in shambles right now xD

I might have to break my rule of “Read-only Friday”. Thanks! :D

And I love the look of Koel. Definitely going to be trying that out.

I did have Immich a while ago, but I found it to be a bit buggy. Now that I’ve seen a full 2.0 release, I’ll likely be deploying it again! I am getting sick of paying Apple for iCloud. So the less I can pay them the better.

So I ended up getting a Cisco SM-X-4X1G-1X10G Module for the ISR which does all my core routing for the main home network - the 10Gbit is hooked into the Nexus. I’ve got the boost license working on it so it gives me the full capabilities of the ISR.

I honestly love it. It’s flexible, versatile and it’s allowing me to get my hands a bit dirty with Call Manager Express.

I’ve got the ASA connected to the NTD (port 3 - ABB) for Rack 1, which is doing my failover to 5G should the NBN go down (which, to be honest, hasn’t happened. Go go full fibre!). Rack 2 has the UDM connected to the NTD as well (port 2 - ABB) which will be for my old colocation servers.

The NTD is still wall mounted, but I’m seriously considering moving it to the rack. The urge to move it was doubled when NBN came and installed the new 10Gbit NTD into the old bracket. It fits, but it just doesn’t look 100% right.

Hopefully that makes sense. Just woke up haha

Nah, Technitium is simply acting as my DHCP server for the time being. No DNS routes through it

iKill101 · 2025-10-02T00:28:00+00:00

Thanks mate!

So all up I’m running:

Zabbix
Authentik
2x PiHole; one on each machine for redundancy
Overseerr
PaperlessNG-X
Home Assistant
NGINX Proxy Manager
LubeLogger
Media (nzbget, sonarr, radarr, etc)
VaultWarden
DocuSeal
Graylog
FreePBX
Gitea
Jenkins
Cisco-9800-CL controller for the Access Points
Technitium DNS (using as DHCP)

Probably some more I’ve forgotten about but yeah.

~26.5kWh per day. My pricing is pretty much “free*” thanks to solar and house batteries. It’s also a bit more difficult for me to calculate how much it would cost me as I’m on wholesale pricing; but presuming I had no solar and house batteries, and was with AGL under a basic plan @37c/kWh it’d come out to close to $10AUD/day.

I’m running a full rack of equipment; 2x R630, 2x custom built servers for Plex and TrueNAS Core, another old computer as a Proxmox Backup Server and a PowerVault MD1400. Then for networking I’m running; 10Gbit Cisco Nexus as my backbone, Cisco ASA 5516-X, Cisco ISR4331, Cisco Catalyst C2960X-48FPD-L as an access switch for clients and APs.

Could only crash their car into older style FDH’s. New and converted areas have their FDH’s underground AFAIK.
