no the netgear 

so you mean a Netgear R7000? I'm not seeing a "Netgear R700".

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

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 :D

 

 

 

I will start off with showing my home network

 

05992714c4.png

 

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

Here is my setup

Modem: Arris cable mdoem

Router: Linksys WRT1200AC

Switch: Netgear GS108 8 port gigabit switch

File server: HP SFF desktop running Windows Server 2012 R2

PC's:

-5 laptops (4 of them on 10, 1 on 7

-1 ps3 (not a pc but still wired in)

Wireless devices:

-phones

-iPads

-Printer

Unconnected Ethernet cable: Used to connect other pc's that i bring into the house to the network

So, this is the current state of play at my place. I've been holding off on spending some more $$$ on fixing up things as we're trying to buy a house (once this happens, ethernet for all!)

Moving forward, the big plan is to actually fix the WiFi in the house (as I can take that with me), when I get the new WAPs (that will properly support VLANs and perhaps a captive portal setup), I'm intending on the layout being more... clean....

I like it. But can you tell me what are those dots between HV01 and HV02?

OK, first try at this, please excuse my untrained ways.

 

sqhlsb7r274sc9a6y5a8.png?utm_medium=live

 

Main PC - Ryzen 1700 CPU etc, spec in my sig.

Other PC - Brothers PC.

I didn't include my other PCs such as testing rig and spares as they're not hooked up unless needed.

 

Server A - Intel i7 6700K CPU and running ESXi, with Freenas VM 12Tb storage/plex server and others

Server B - HP proliant Microserver Gen 8 running Freenas (Backup Server)

 

TV - Networked for certain applications.

Console A - Nvidia Shield for my main media player.

Console B - Xbox One S

Console C - Playstation 4

 

Modem/Router - Netgear D7000

Switches are just "Dumb" 8 port Gigabit.

Access Point - TPlink 2.4Ghz portable Jobbies, work suprisingly well.

 

Console D - Brothers Xbox One S

Console E - Brothers Playstation 4

 

All of the Devices are on the Upper floor, and so is the Modem/router and switches etc... the Wirelell signals penetrate the floors very well in fact and have complete coverage of my entire house this way.

 

Hope I did that correctly?  :D

 

 

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

It’ll be a link for live migrations, not sure if I’ll just drop another NIC in or VLAN it off yet, shall see.

While live migrations are rare, I recommend having a seperate link for that as well as any backup or replication traffic that may happen between the two. It is rather unpleasant to have your other VMs starved of throughput during a migration.

The migrations could be a fairly common thing for me, I'm a consistent tinkerer. I know I don't tend to have a great deal of action on my servers at any point in time so I'll have to see what the outcome is. Depending on what I end up running as the servers also will determine what I do of course, if I've got room for NICs, I'll run them separate.

Here is my new network topology for my home lab. I am diving into the realm of security now. It seems to be an all-out enterprise network but it is in a home. Just 4 Cisco Catalyst 3560Gs, 2 Cisco ASA 5510s, 2 Cisco 2911, and the Cisco Unified Communications Suite. This is one highly redundant home network.

The configs are basic for the switches, VLAN 99 on the switches before the ASAs and then I will have VLANs 10, 20, 30, 75, and 100 on the switches after the ASAs with no switchports going to the ASAs. The core is going to be 172.16.1.0/28 and then after that, it is going to be 172.16.2.0/28 for after the ASAs. I am going to have a default route going to 172.16.1.1 which is the HSRP address.

Network setup. I've moved my Email server from my house to an online VPS. Residential IPs are blocked with BT. So, I figured, why not an online one and use VPN to connect to the domain:

 

The on premise server is still up. It's only used internally and it forwards all requests to the VPS. ASA 5505 is used for IPSec VPN between my house and the VPS.

Always hard to draw a virtual environment, a physical diagram doesn't really represent the network layout well. I sort of grew into this, but I will move my WSUS server to the management vlan and VDP to the non-internet vlan. Currently it's the only server on that vlan allowed internet access on vlan 50. I'll also probably end up moving my RDSH application server over to the dmz since it's going to be more permanent now.

 

Drawing it all out definitely helps think of where things should be.

Maybe you can draw it using separate L3 and L1 maps? In L3 maps ignore the managed switches and VM hosts, while in L1 map ignore VMs?
