Internet ---> Modem/Router (ISP Issued) --> Powerline --> Me.


8/1Mbit/s connection, and that's on a good day. I usually get less than 2Mbit/s down.

Looks good :D

 

A lot of redundancy, which is good.

I am aware of that. My question still stands:why do you need such a network at home?

 

Because I am running quite a few servers, and just an all-in-one box would not be able to handle it.

That is actually quite the setup, what are you running as hypervisor?

VMware ESXi currently. All the virtual servers are free to migrate between hosts in case of failure or me doing maintenance on one of the hosts.

Well thats my house set up!

Its a bit more complicated than that as there are now 2 virtual servers with about 20 virtual machines on each. Also there is now a raspberry pi cluster

Now, I have abit of a weird thing going on with APs. My desktop doesn't seem to like the Ubiquti AP anymore, so they've decided not to work, so I have my old ASUS N66u running as a dedicated AP to my desktop (sitting right beside my Ubiquiti one).

There's way more devices on the wireless network but I decided not to map those. I plan on adding an additional AP to the network (a Ubiquiti one, to cover the other side of the house), and I'd also like to add some additional servers (hopefully once I get my rack set up).

I suck at this...

Why do you have your internet going directly into your ESXi host? So you don't directly connect your home network, insted you run your internet via the ESXi first?

 

(It's fine, network maping is not everyones best area :P )

I got tired of using the N66U as a router (I guess you have thousands of reason to not use one aswell. So I went with a virtual machine on the ESXi host instead. Probably not the best way too do it but it works so why not? :)

Cba taking pics, but my router is downstairs in the hallway, hidden ontop of a bookcase. I have the ethernet cable running under the carpets, it goes upstairs, over a doorframe and into my room.

 

Used to have wireless, until my mum was out for an entire day, and i put the cable in. She still thinks i'm using wireless.

Red -bridged network

Black - wired internal network

Orange dotted - wireless

 

Most VMs are just for testing / my studies and aren't running 24/7. My laptop has the most VMs as its always with me (and i can just whip it out and try something if i want)

 

All servers running server 2012 R2 with hyper-v.

 

Soon to have another Raspberry pi to run my web interface for the 3d printer using octoprint.

Basically, I have a pact with my neighbor. He provides me with 10/1 that would otherwise go unused, save for a few iPhones, and I provide him with tech support when he needs it. It's not the greatest thing, but it gets the job done.

 

The laptop is there solely to bridge the Alfa to wan on my WNR834, which is DMZ'd from neighbor's router and does all my routing, as well as provides me with my own private WiFI network. The WRT54G is the "visitor" AP that I can just switch off. NAS is an old netbook with a 1TB HDD running FreeNAS. Serves all my media, which is all I use it for.
