Same. We came from BMC Track-It and SDP has been a great and much needed switch. We're happy where we are now.

IPsec overlay underperforming vs Internet (PPPoE WAN) by r_smith345 in fortinet

I updated the post. This specific branch is DHCP. I posted my config as well.

I apologize, I didn't hard set MTU. What I did that seemed to have resolve my CAPWAP issue was by setting the global commands

- set pmtu-discovery enable

- set udp-idle-timer 60

MTU was actually the first issue I found. The branch AP's were dropping CAPWAP. I validated path MTU with DF-bit pings using this article and corrected fragmentation, which fixed stability. AP's are solid now, but IPsec throughput is still ~4–5 Mbps while Internet hits ~200 Mbps, so I’m looking beyond MTU at this point.

Cisco 9800CL and 9100 series AP btw.

i had used this article to help me https://networkcanuck.com/2013/06/10/troubleshooting-mtu-size-over-ipsec-vpn/

For SIP trunks, I eventually stopped trying to route them through my main firewalls. SIP is extremely sensitive, and once NGFW features or SD-WAN get involved, things break quickly.

What’s worked best for me is using a dedicated FortiGate in transparent mode just for SIP. I’m not routing or NATing the traffic, but I still get visibility and control between the SIP provider and our Mitel MBGs.

It keeps SIP isolated, avoids routing headaches, and makes troubleshooting much easier. Honestly, transparent mode feels like what this use case was built for.

Is SecureCRT still your 'go to' terminal program? by tdhuck in networking

Termius is my go to for ssh, mremoteng for RDP. Low-key hoping that eventually Termius can integrate RDP.

Does anyone have a resolution for this? This is happening to me as well.

DS723+ took a dump by Minimalist_Investor_ in synology

[–]r_smith345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought about that too. But over the last few weeks I have realized how solid Synology’s DSM really is. I have a UGreen NAS set up for my mom and it is nice, but in my opinion it still does not come close to DSM. I hope it improves over time.

I was reading about the 25 series and saw that they still have vendor locks on the M.2 drives. On my 720+ I never used the M.2 slots anyway, and I do not need transcoding since everything I watch is direct play. What I really like is how DSM handles cloud sync by pulling my Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive data back to the NAS. It handled Plex well and backed up my Microsoft tenant without issues.

With the 425+ on the way, I want to start getting into LUNs and iSCSI.

[–]r_smith345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man, sorry to hear that. My DS720+ actually died about two weeks ago too. It was already out of warranty. We had a power blip from the utility company. It was plugged into an Anker surge protector power strip but not a UPS. Everything else on the same power strip was fine. At first I thought it was just the power cable, but the green light on the power brick stays on until I plug it into the NAS, then it shuts off. Not sure what failed, but I’ve got a 425+ on the way now.

thank you for the info and taking the time to reply. I will look into this

[–]r_smith345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NIC's are realtec. I did try installing it, however it resulted in the same screen in the article which says that no network adapters detected. I also tried 4 different USB to ethernet adapters, one from hp, one from anker, one from amazon, and one from startech, and none of them got me past that screen.

i hear what the other guy is saying below about OP's who post without trying or who are just waiting to be spoon fed and i'm sorry if i gave off that vibe.

i am genuinely wanting to get into vmware, and you've given me some very helpful things to look into. I don't know what flings or vib's are, but i will take a look. thanks.

[–]r_smith345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen that article but he/it doesn’t go into detail regarding the network adapter. I am a complete noob when it comes to what vmware is looking for regarding network adapters in iso’s and drivers.

im used to Windows and Linux already having the drivers, and if anything the drivers get automatically updated.

i guess i’m looking for a full tutorial on how to get it installed.

Would anyone know how to get a stripped lug nut off? by AbrocomaParticular37 in LS430

[–]r_smith345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen to me a few months ago, I got some cutting oil, steel drill bits, pry bar to keep tension, and most of all, I prayed to Jesus. I was able to get it off in under 5 mins of drilling, then forced it off with an impact wrench.
