I bet the Topology map in the Unifi Controller is all messed up, with having one Unifi switch, and it isn't even connected to the gateway. But otherwise looks fine.

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:

This is mine. Hopefully the diagram is done OK, the days of high school where we were building networks in Packet Tracer are long gone :D

If anyone is interested I've just posted a topic about setting up a new network for our house. I could sure use some help from you guys.

Do this count as part of my home setup?

 

That's a nice device for lab use! But I'm not sure it counts as your home setup if it isn't part of the network that has to be working for your significant other, offspring, etc. to have internet access. There has to be stakes involved!

Why is one MR56 only linked at 2.5Gb? I haven’t used any Meraki switches or APs with more than 1Gb copper ports, but based on the datasheets I don’t see why.

Ah, it's able to do 5Gbps BUT the wiring has issues where it will only stay stable at 2.5Gbps for the one so I hard coded it to 2.5 instead of letting it randomly reset when on auto and it would do 5Gbps.

Just basic stuff:

  • good firewall (pfsense in my case)
  • use VLAN's to segregate devices that need it(security cameras, windows machines etc)
  • forget vnc and rdp
  • use a password manager with 2fa instead of reusing passwords
  • ssh set to key auth only
  • dont use admin accounts for accessing shares
  • enable auto updates (except windows, it mostly does more harm than good)
  • isolate publicly exposed services onto their own VLAN, all of them is virtualized and backed up regurarly.
  • made sure i have at least 2 copies of important files locally and one remote backup (encrypted client side so the remote location has no idea whats inside my backups)

Recently sorta redid my network. This network has been added on starting around 2017 with my Ubiquiti Edgerouter-X and then going from there...Now in 2020 I'm using this for learning for certifications and career. I'm currently still in high school, so this lab is a nice way to learn enterprise networking and such.

There is usually 55 wired devices according to UniFi, and usually 29 wireless devices.

Network Components 

  • "Core Switch" - Ubiquiti Networks UniFi US-48
  • "Access Switch" - Cisco Catalyst 2960S-48LPS-L
  • "Hallway AP" - Ubiquiti Networks UniFi UAP-AC-Pro
  • "Garage AP" - Ubiquiti Networks UniFi UAP-AC-Lite
  • "Porch AP" - Ubiquiti Networks UniFi UAP-AC-M
  • "Living Room Switch" - Ubiquiti Networks UniFi US-8-60W

VLANs

  • 666 - Management VLAN 10.0.0.0/24
  • 10 - VMs VLAN 10.0.10.0/24
  • 20 - Home VLAN 10.0.20.0/24
  • 30 - IoT VLAN 10.0.30.0/24
  • 40 - Guest VLAN 10.0.30.0/24
  • 69 - ONT VLAN
  • 200 - DMZ 172.16.0.0/24

Wireless - UniFi handles wireless, the main SSID "Skynet" is WPA2-Enterprise using Active Directory from my domain controllers on VLAN 20, "Skynet IoT" is normal WPA2-PSK for IoT devices on VLAN 30, "Skynet Guest" is using VLAN 40 with UniFi captive portal.

Router - My pfSense router is virtualized on ESXi-03, it has three virtual interfaces, VLAN 69 WAN twice and one trunked interface for VLANs. DHCP is also handled by pfSense.

Virtualization/Servers - All servers boot from a USB 3.0 flash drive running ESXi 6.7u3

  • R620 ESXi-01 - Dual Xeon E5-2560s, 64GB of DDR3 ECC RAM, 3x600GB HDD 10K RPM, 1TB ADATA SX8200 Pro (before the controller swap) 
  • ESXi-02 - Old gaming laptop I had, Core i7 6700HQ, 24GB of DDR4 RAM, 1TB HDD 7.2K RPM, 512GB Samsung OEM NVMe
  • ESXi-03 - Dell Inspiron, Core i5 4460, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, 1TB 7.2K RPM.

VMs (Oh my god so many, I should consolidate some)

HOST: ESXi-01

  • Domain Controller #1  - Windows Server 2019
  • vCenter
  • DNS1 - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS Pi Hole (DNS2 is backed up on a RPi 3 for failover)
  • GitLab - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Docker - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Home Assistant - HassOS
  • NGINX Proxy - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Observium - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Pterodactyl - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • UniFi Controller - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • WireGuard - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Database Server - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • NGINX + PHP Web hosting - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • ShareX Image Hosting - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Utility VM - Debian 10 
  • School Projects VM - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

HOST: ESXi-02 

  • Domain Controller #2 - Windows Server 2019
  • Rocketchat - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • UNMS (UISP Ubiquiti management) - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Wiki.JS - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • Invidious - Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

HOST: ESXi-03

  • pfSense Router

1638555010_Network2020V2.thumb.png.87e2a94717752f8415c98c3becb9ac6b.png

I only included basic wired networking in the diagram. No wireless devices are shown and there are additional wired devices on the network.
