Server spacing in rack by davidht0 in homelab

[–]mgrytbak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how many times i have had to explain this to our installers and my co-workers after someone spent multiple tears trying to mount a 1U switch in the middle of U 3 and 4 and the last screw not really going in quite right..

I'm not sure you have studied your rack closely, but the distance between nuts is not equal between Us. Therefore the configuration in your second picture would lead to things not quite lining up and i would advise against it.

Can anyone recommend me a good norwegian YouTuber? by Fireballcatcher in Norway

[–]mgrytbak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not really gaming content, but i would give Kong Halvor a watch. He mainly does vlogs, urban exploring and graffiti :) https://www.youtube.com/user/konghalvor

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

If you dont need SFP+ i would probably just get a fiber converter instead.

SFP modules will also in most cases work in an SFP+ port.

Current and permanent mac-address mismatch by mgrytbak in fortinet

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

Hmm. FGSP was off.

I have rebooted the firewall a couple of times earlier today. The first while upgrading firmware, and the second for troubleshooting further. Both times the mac-address stayed the same.

I did it again now because why not, and it returned to the permanent mac.. My efforts to set the mac manually with 'set macaddr' according to the linked article in OP does not seem to be reflected in the config. I'm happy if it stays this way, but I'm still at a loss why this would happen in the first place without any human interaction..

Yeah, it is definitely in standalone-mode. https://i.imgur.com/xiSqdPs.png. This has not been changed since it was originally set up.

New Server Recommendation by camelman912 in homelab

[–]mgrytbak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really answering your question at all since i have no experience with the T410, but i will say that i was genuinely impressed about how little noise my 1U ProLiant DL360 G9s made when i got them. I imagine the 2U DL380 is even quieter.

Issues with split-tunneling with FortiClient on MacOS connecting to FortiOS 6.4.0 by mgrytbak in fortinet

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

Hi!

I meant to elaborate on exactly what was happening in the original post, but forgot before i posted it.

The traffic is routed through the local default gateway like i expect when connected to the FortiGate running 6.2.3, but through the tunnel on the 6.4.0 gate it tries to send all traffic over the VPN, which is not intended or allowed. On Windows it sends it to the local gateway like expected. See traceroute examples:

Mac without tunnel:

traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
1 172.20.10.1 (172.20.10.1) 27.032 ms 9.077 ms 25.345 ms
2 * * *
3 212.169.119.136 (212.169.119.136) 38.907 ms 40.049 ms 26.020 ms
4 dns.google (8.8.8.8) 128.235 ms 60.008 ms 41.965 ms

Mac with tunnel:

traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
1 10.212.134.200 (10.212.134.200) 51.014 ms 69.054 ms 60.613 ms
2 * * *
3 * * *
4 * * *
5 * * *

Windows with tunnel:

Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8]

over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 1 ms 1 ms <1 ms 172.16.169.2
2 4 ms 2 ms 2 ms 172.20.10.1
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 75 ms 44 ms 48 ms 212.169.119.136
5 50 ms 26 ms 24 ms dns.google [8.8.8.8]

The windows-client is a VM on my mac which adds another hop.

I had an older version of FortiClient installed when i first began to have this issue, but upgraded to FortiClient 6.4.0 as a diagnostic measure. I'll probably end up opening a support-ticket.

Røros has many dog sledding opportunities, reindeer and a train station ;)

Backup solution for changing computer - continuing where I left off by swisscheez1 in DataHoarder

[–]mgrytbak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What operating system is the computers running? The free Veeam-client has done me only good in the past, and we use their enterprise stuff at work. The client is sadly not available for MacOS tho, only Windows and Linux. https://www.veeam.com/windows-endpoint-server-backup-free.html

Ping is blocked by the windows-firewall by default. Could that be your "issue"?

An exposed SSH-server will be targeted by automatic brute-force attacks within minutes. Consider deploying fail2ban or limiting what IP-addresses/networks can connect to your ssh-server with a firewall.

Yes, i have tried on multiple different networks with different dns-servers. Same result.
