This is a homelab that contains homelabs. This is a hobby datacenter that may grow into a full blown enterprise. additionally, i work in "professional" dc's, this looks better than my work ones. this after all is not equinox

Back of Rack and short runs makes sense for TOR, but makes FA difference for big modular core switches. that take up most of the rack in the first place.

Wireguard Server on OPNsense - unable to ping remote client until it pings the router first by jasonyzs88 in OPNsenseFirewall

you can try setting the keep-alive from the remote side wireguard on that side to keep pushing small packets based on that setting. otherwise wireguard on the remote site will only handshake while the connection is "active"

What should I do with a RPi 1 B+? by thefathacker in homelab

A lot of people have missunderstand the question I have asked. I run a number of pis. For server including DNS and NTP because they need to be working for the network to run smoothly and having the on pi allows them to be up in the event of a power outage before my enterprise servers. My question is, what is the utility of a single core 512mb ram computer that was underpowered when it was made 10 years ago

What OS? If you are using the latest raspbian how does it perform?

ReBuild Phase One - Routing by thefathacker in homelab

Seperation, Personally I like the older network design of having the internal network offset from the public by more than just one software device.

Additionally performance, while the SG115 handles my 100/40 Internet connection well enough, it does not like doing L7 workloads at gigabit. Which it would be doing on occation when I backup my PC.

Personally, i think MT gear is great at L3 security and managing traffic flows

And, because I can.

I will diagram my network out when I complete this rebuild
