Recommendation, after having just had a 2 hour power outage - make UPS arrangements for an AP with the minimal amount of hardware required (basically, connect an AP to your UPS along with the PFSense router and modem)

Yes, I forgot to include the PoE injector for the AP which would be at the server room with the UPS.

Thanks

I Posted about 2 months ago and I have completely rebuilt my network. I learned a lot about networking, and now feel like a genius. Here is a diagram of what I'm running now: 

May I ask why you seem to dismiss the ISP part of it? Shitty coax and modem? My background is DOCSIS engineer, so seeing that makes me cringe TBH.

 

Looking over most of these, almost know one gives data for what they use on the ISP side. I just don't understand how someone can spend 10's of thousands of dollars on network equipment, but then take what ever junk gateway their ISP gives them.

I live about 50 miles away from the ISP going through about 20 hubs. When people start using networks in other neighborhoods, the entire network slows down. Not to mention my ping to the ISP's Speed test server is greater than 10Ms. I also pay $180 a month for 150 down, and 20 up. They are burning my money for shitty service.

The basic infrastructure layout is:

• Incoming fiber to the ONT in my garage (right below my 2nd story office).
• Ethernet from the ONT up to the FreeBSD router (self-built) in my office; easiest run to make.
• Router has 2 other Ethernets run to the managed switch in the office (Cisco SG300)
• Office switch connects via 2xGigE 802.3ad bundle to the Cisco SG500 switch in the basement.
• Living room switch (SG300) also connects to basement switch via a 2xGigE 802.3ad bundle.

VLANs:

• Public VLAN: I have a /28 of public space from my ISP.  On this, I put my various web pages, mail server, DNS server, etc.  The NAT for my private VLAN is also within this /28.
• Private VLAN: What it sounds like.  Ye ol' RFC1918 VLAN for things that don't need direct access to/from the Internet.

Nodes:

• FreeBSD router (self-built w/3 GigE ports) running the appropriate levels of IPFW and PF for security for the entire house.  Also NAT'ing for the private VLAN.
• Windows gaming rig - pretty self-explanatory.  I don't want it NAT'ing, so it has a native connection to the 'net, but filtered to hell and gone.
• Apple Airport Extreme WAP - Acting in "bridge" mode only.  It's not routing at all.
• Various entertainment center devices - They're networked for code updates, etc.  Yay.
• Mac Mini - boots right up into Kodi to play the (legally-stored) movies on my NAS.  Configured to use the MySQL database on the NAS as well.
• FreeBSD NAS - Lots of 4TB HDDs RAID10'd together.  Runs a MySQL db for various things, and is also a central GIT server for configs and whatnot.
• QNAP Backup - 4-bay QNAP server I use only for backups and nothing else.
• FreeBSD Server - The heart and soul of the network.  Runs several FreeBSD jails for various services (mail, web, etc), as well as all sorts of other things I need.

Updated network map! This is just the physical connection map, logical map coming up later.

 

I don't really have much room for wirelessly-joined units so they are ignored. I am not a fan of giving away my IP address configuration so those are not included. However should you join my home networkmost of those devices' FQDN addresses can be resolved correctly. And yes I bought that domain for my home use.

 

Also, big image warning.

love the domain name, but you know your home address is now available on the internet right? https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=maxcrib.info - you should look into GoDaddy's Private Registration product.

That address was my dorm room in school (and I have stopped living there) so I think it is okay.

Can you guy's start putting things in spoilers?

[drc00k3]

The cluster of servers at the top are all running on one host(using HyperV because my dad wanted to try it). I used the PC image for the Chromecasts and Raspberry Pis because there were no better images.

[Tosa]

Quite simple. Couldn't be bothered to include the modem thing, though.

If I'm reading this right, both of your powerline adaptors are also APs? I ask because you have wireless links coming from you powerline adaptors. Also, where is your modem/ont?

Hope you enjoy my network, just as much as i had making it.

 

Thanks,

Edit: Forgot to add my wireless printer, oh well.

Are you running CARP between the two pfsense firewalls? Do you currently only have a single IP?

I'm only running one pfsense firewall. I only have one IP.

[Mikensan]

@peterino55 oh I see, your diagram shows "exact copy of router" - I assumed you were using CARP with failover, something I'm looking to do but have been lazy. From what I have read, it's do-able with pfSense 2.2 and a single IP. Thanks for replying!

Sorry for the confusion.

Oh the joys of a giant house (w/o ethernet) in the country (WISP or satellite only).  I can't wait 'till I can build my >$100,000 mini-house in town.  Now if only there was a way to run Thunderbolt through walls...

[lazar.d]

This is my home network layout

I received from my cable operator:

ubee EVW327N Advanced Wireless Voice Gateway
Cisco Model 4682DVB MPEG-4 HD Hybrid Interactive Set-Top 

Is there better way to extend my network to another room or should i continue using my old D-link DI-524 wireless router

[Lurick]

I didn't list every device that connects to the switch in the topology but there are in total 30-ish devices that connect to the core switch and after I had run the cable throughout the house I realized I needed extra ports in one area so I tossed in an 8 port switch instead of tearing the walls open again to run more cable.

Just created a quick draft of my work network home network.

 

The Hyper-V system is in a cluster and runs a number of different servers as virtual machines.

Rule #3 in the initial post of the topic says no work networks.

We where recently flooded back in December, as a result we are now based on a temporary site.

 

PS: You can never have to many access points. 

 

This network is cool, but Rule #3 in the initial post of the topic says no work networks.

This thread is meant to show us your network layout.

 

Some rules

• You must have a proper network diagram; Something made in Microsoft Visio, Gliffy (Free) or something similar.
• No all-in-one boxes; There is not much to show off if your network only has 1 networking device.
• It must be your own network; Don't try to impress by showing off a corporate network, we are looking for consumer networks

 

 

 

I will start off with showing my home network

 

 

Networks

• 0.x (Green, 0.0.0.0/0): This is the network directly from the modem, unfiltered. Settopboxes are set on a VLAN so they can communicate with my ISPs interactive services.
• 1.x (Blue, 172.16.0.0/12): This is our main network, all normal clients are connected via WiFi or on switch 1.2 and 1.3.
• 2.x (Orange, 192.168.0.0/16): This is our public network, everyone can connect to our public hotspot, but can't access our main network.

 

Switches

• 0.1: TP-Link TL-SG3424
• 1.1: TP-Link TL-SG3424
• 1.2: TP-Link TL-SG2424
• 1.3: TP-Link TL-SG3210
• 2.1: TP-Link TL-SG3424

Gateways

• 1.1: Ubiquiti EdgeRouter ER-8, this one also does the DHCP for 1.x
• 2.1: Embedded system based on a APU1C4 running PFSense

DHCP

• 2.1: Embedded system based on a APU1C4 running PFSense

DNS

• 1.1: Supermicro server running Windows Server 2012R2
• 1.2: Supermicro server running Windows Server 2012R2
• 2.1: Embedded system based on a APU1C4 running PFSense
• 2.2: Embedded system based on a APU1C4 running PFSense

Portal

• 2.1: Supermicro server running Windows Server 2012R2 and acting as portal for our hotspot

Access points

• 1.1: Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC
• 1.2: Ubiquiti UniFi AP LR
• 1.3: Ubiquiti UniFi AP
• 2.1: Ubiquiti UniFi AP LR

Servers:

• 1.1: Custom server running Minecraft with dedicated IP
• 1.2: ESXi running multiple VM's
• 1.3: Custom server running Windows Server 2012R2 and acting as a NAS

Hey mate what software do you use to make this diagram

Looks like he used Visio.
