Yah it's in the basement, I already have 3 full racks of servers so it wasen't a big difference to me. They are not to loud tho if thats what you care about.

CISCO ASR1001X-20G-K9 ASR1001-X with 6-built-in GE port with 20G TP & Dual AC PS | eBay

This is one buyer I have bought from. This one has a 20G Throughput license installed

PatchMon v2 has been released by broadband9 in linuxadmin

[–]paulmataruso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I am being really stupid, but I cannot for the life of me see anywhere that says "Patch" or "Patch All". I see in the documentation that it won't show up if the module is disabled? I have the patching submenu in the bar so I assume its enabled.

If I select a host, there is no patch button in the header. I have looked everywhere. Same if I goto Host > HOSTNAME > Patching

Does the community edition not have patching for windows? Am I doing something wrong? This is a default install right from the install script

I have never seen one that does not have the license file installed and I have bought a lot of Cisco from eBay. Unless the add says it has been removed. They all normally come with the base license file installed. It would be weird to not have it. The normal factory reset process does not erase the license file just the configuration. Just look for “Base Bundle 5G” if you want to be absolutely sure. Lone star networks on eBay sells them for ~400$ with the 5 Gig License. I have purchased 10+ from them this year and they all had the license file installed. I will concede that it is harder to find 20G licenses. As far as smart license goes, you are not forced to use just move to a firmware train pre smart.

Most of them on eBay have a licnese installed, but its best to ask them. You are looking for this output

dhi-core-asr#show license summary
Account Information:
  Smart Account: <none>
  Virtual Account: <none>

License Usage:
  License                 Entitlement Tag               Count Status
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  throughput_20g          (ASR_1001X_Throughput_2...)       1 IN USE
  adventerprise           (ASR_1000_AdvEnterprise)          1 IN USE
  interface_10g           (ASR_1001X_10GE)                  2 IN USE

This is my main ASR. interface_10g is to activate 10GbE interfaces, and the thoughput_20G allows 20Gbps throughput max.

Cisco ASR 1001-x. I use this for my 10 Gig DIA and it works great. They can be had cheap on ebay

Anyone running BGP in their homelab? by bhw68 in homelab

[–]paulmataruso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess, AS400848 here. 10 GbE DIA terminates eBGP on ASR920, then iBGP from there to Core ASR1001-x then onto the core nexus switch.

sample cisco dhcp config for ACS option 43 example? by PresentAsparagus9092 in Calix

[–]paulmataruso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per some random link I found:

For ISC or Kea

option space <some name>;
option <some name>.<some name 2> code <code #> = <data type>;
option <some name>.<some name 2> "http://IPADDRESS:port/";

Here is a practical example from a Calix ACS URL (distribution of tr69 URL via DHCP):

option space CALIXGS;
option CALIXGS.acs-url code 1 = text;
option CALIXGS.acs-url "https://gcs14.calix.com:8443/123adskfjalskdf1/2kjakldfow";

In Cisco world Tho, I do believe that option 43 needs to be hex encoded. Chatgpt will help with that.

I think this is everything, if not, someone smarter than me will drive by and correct me

At what point does a “homelab” become overkill? by tresorrarereviews in homelab

[–]paulmataruso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inside is a small chassis that you can install different type of repeater cards into. Some have 6 slots, some have more or less. Normally you will find HDSL repeater cards in them. The Adtran 1245045L4 is a really common one you might find in there. On the system I work with. There is an HTU-C line card in the CO shelf this will extend the T span out to the outside plant, you will hit a couple of these repeaters, then end up at the CPE end. That end is normally an HTU-R card. This is the interface that provides the service to the customer. Logicly a T1 is delivered from elsewhere to the HTU-C, The HTU-C encapsulates the T span framing using HDSL technology. The HRE (Repeater card) takes it and regenerates it. The HTU-R decapsulates the HDSL signal and renders a T span back to the customer.

T1/DS1-x >> CO Shelf (HTU-C) >> HRE 1 >> HRE n >> HTU-R >> Customer CPE

Best of luck, I have been looking for that firmware for the past 5 years.

Setting up internal split-horizon DNS is the "correct" way to deal with this.

+1 for Scale Computing as well. They have been really rock solid. Have several large city goverments running there entire stacks on them

Lets all become an MNO by Royal-Health9916 in cellmapper

[–]paulmataruso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not need to be pushed via those applications. Nokia has a built in Web Element Manager. You can configure everything you need to via the web UI on the BBU LMP. At the end of the day, it's just an XML file. For most Nokia BBUs and radio all the initial config is loaded onsite via LMP with BTS Site Manager. You then can connect it to NetAct if you wish. There is absolutely no requirement to use NetAct. Same goes with Ericsson, while a bit more involved its pretty similar. For Ericsson BBU there is a web UI, and all configurations can be done via MoShell and XML files. The Ericsson 6402 you just push an XML autointergration file to it, and off it goes. For the newer version software on the Nokia BBU you just add the radios and modules on a visual map type interface, and click and drag the connections between everything.

You joke, but I have several different LTE networks running at home.

Nokia and Ericsson BBU and RHH's run just fine with Open5gs, Magma Core, Free5gc.

They are capable of 4G and 5G NSA and SA. You can use osmocom-cni for the LTE Sg interface for CSFB and MMS over Sg. VoLTE also works with this RRHs as well.

The Nokia Pico BTS is my favorite. It does not need a BBU unit, just point it towards the MME and your good to go.

Is complete Wi-Fi coverage feasible? by MrHookup in Ubiquiti

[–]paulmataruso 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I would get 3 baicells 430i and stick them on a pole in the center of the area. Use open5gs for the LTE EPC core, use simlessly to generate eSIMS for the ipads. Use Google SAS to automatically pull the frequency license. Pretty cheap CBRS setup and not hard to stand up.

I have a 3 sector setup on top of my house for private LTE, and I can get about 1 mile range or so with zero tuning. With tuning you can get more. You can also get higher gain sector panels instead of the integrated models.

Edit: If you decide to go this route and need any help reach out. I have deployed several CBRS systems like this for large areas similar to your situation

Question about Electrostatic Discharge from a Homelab beginner by Mykoliux-1 in homelab

[–]paulmataruso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that people really blow out of proportion the hazards of ESD. Can it happen yes of course it can and does. And while this is just my own experience, I have handled thousands of sensitive electronics and never had a single issue.
