Network layout showoff

Dang would love a nice setup but my mum won't even let me rename my Isp provided router//modem/

wifi,

 

Edit Here is a diagram

What about some IRL pics of the stuff? ^^

Props for using Mikrotik and Ubiquiti. Also some pics of this setup would be awesome.

[MariusJS]

I've found them in really good prices slightly used along with a few RouterBoards so I got them. I really like Ubiquiti stuff (more than Mikrotik ) but they have no 10 GbE equipment (if you exclude the 2 (only) 10 GbE SFP+ Uplinks for two of their switches). What I'm planning next is to get a 10 GbE SFP+ Switch but they're terribly expensive. It's a shame we don't see Mikrotik and UBNT make this kind of stuff. Currently another CloudCore Router (8S+) is cheaper than most 8-port 10 GbE Switches.. 

 

BTW all 10 GbE links are made using SFP+ and Single Mode Fiber (I believe even if the distance is extremely small (a few meters), spending a little bit more money on decent equipment is worth it). 

Mikrotik > UBNT imo, but it's harder to set up, but then on the other hand you can just do so much more

 

Again, can you post some pics?

Spent the weekend re-configuring my routers after removing an older one. Decided to take my time with it and note down the Make/Model/MAC addresses of everything and assign IP addresses manually, writing everything down in a spreadsheet as I went along. Finally have my home network documented even though it's not much. One thing I learned was that Chromecast and iHome Smart Plugs both use AzureWave wireless controllers. Thankfully the Chromecast app has the MAC address listed in the device settings which made sorting them out easy.

Just a bit overkill...

Here is the physical layout of my home network.

 

 

The NASter machine is a scrapyard build running Ubuntu Server, functioning as a router/NAS/managed switch combo. The P5BV-C mobo have all its PCI slots populated with NICs, a 6TB spinning platters storage and a 60GB SSD cache.

 

The Battlebird machine is my E3-1231v3 based workstation.

 

The Battleship machine is my dual E5-2620v2 based ex-server now used as a computational power reserve (that is, fired up only when needed.) I am still having no idea how should I fully utilize its 128GB of ECC DDR3-1600 RAM as I no longer run VMs on it.

 

The Bluebird is my daily driver laptop computer, an Ivy Bridge MacBook Pro.

 

The Ladybird machine is my mom's laptop, a Sandy Bridge MacBook Pro.

...

Metro-E? Must be serious business needing all that bandwidth.

[revilogy]

I'm a student getting ready to up sticks to University, but I do what I can .

 

I am running on a BT Infinity line, on a pretty weak BT Home Hub 5. Most of the network is ran from my bedroom, so my switch -a HP 2610 Gigabit 48 Port generously donated by my school- connects to the HH5 by a powerline adapter, who's speed I have forgotten. Connected to the switch is my PC, my Xbox (hardly used now I have finally joined the PCMR) and my Server. My Server is a HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 with the G1610T Processor. It runs FreeNAS 9.3, and has 2 zdevs (One System Volume "SysVol" for the plugins, and one for storage "STORAGE" (RAID 0 Equiv.)) SysVol hosts no shares, whilst STORAGE has 2 datasets, with 1 share a piece, one for general storage, the other for file history images. Everything else is dealt with by the inbuilt WiFi on the HH5, which isn't awfully bad, just not jawdropping either...

 

 

Would I improve if I had the chance? Hell yes, there's so much more I want to do, including using a pfSense firewall and router solution, as well as using a more robust AP. But I need to be realistic; I'm moving to Student digs in 8 months, so a permanent solution really isn't worth setting up, and I'm not the wealthiest guy in the world (but I did manage to bag a part time job at my school as a Junior Network Tech ). Another issue is the BT HomeHub is an abosulte A*se to work with. We would change it, but there's better things to spend money on... This set up has helped me learn networking fundamentals, and has helped me explore production environments, an area I will be studying at university.

My humble network:

Not showing the wireless stuff, wich is a mess of families phones, chromecasts, tablets and other gimmiks

Why a RADIUS Server? Just curious.

Why a RADIUS Server? Just curious.

Not the person you quoted, but I can list a few reasons someone might want an radius server:

• Fancy 802.1x Enterprise Wireless Encryption and credentials
• Network domain login across all your PCs
• VPN, subnet, web server access with varying security realms and permissions

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: 

 

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

 

Thanks, 

Peter

 

 

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

[Ymac]

my humble little network, hoping to get fiber soon and set up some remote servers, also, wireless upgrade is needed (probably UAP-AC-PRO's)

Until not too long ago the TP-Link WDR4300 was the main router, but it was terrible due to a custom firmware for my country,

so now it's only a "dumb AP" and it's running a custom version of openWRT 12.09AA. it's still shit. My house is big and I have enough 802.11ac clients to justify a proper solution.

My home:

Solid = Wired
Dashed = Wireless

Lounge Gramofon hooked up to home theatre.
Kitchen Gramofon hooked up to Logitech 2.0 PC speakers.
Use both for multiroom Spotify

Will soon purchase a third Gramofon to extend the Spotify to the study/dining room - I've only recently got an amplifier for the bookcase speakers in there (currently hooked up to the iMac).

Each Gramofon is an access point and extends Mikrotik's SSID for my devices - also hosts the fon hotspot for guest access - auto allows my Facebook friend to access.

Here's my lowly home network.

 

Just set up my SuperHub2 in Modem Mode for the first time, using it with a DNSMask to my LAN so I can use Deep Packet Inspection.

 

Fu**ing love Ubiquity Networks products.

 

Wireless clients not shown because it'd be annoying to add them all.

[BSpendlove]

I had to do a quick mock on one of our customers network, the better I get at this stuff, My boss wants me to do more customers so this will be fun and interesting for comparisons and such.

 

I need to make it look neater for others to view, but I think it is acceptable

 

I would key in the cables etc.. but maybe I'll do that when we next go up London.

 

 

Laptops all have docking stations on the desk.

I used yED Graph editor but inserted my own pictures of the items because the pictures they had sucked.

Update coming up.

Just got 2 nuc's in that will function as a ESX HA cluster to run my DC's and my vcenter server.

 

Also pulled some OM3 fiber to my room and ordered a mikrotik CRS210-8G-2S+IN so that I can have a 10g link to my room and workstation.

The switch and transceivers should arrive tomorrow.

Here is a rough layout of the network here. Not exactly fancy and no redundancy to speak of but it works.

 

The Modem/Access point and the second access point are both Asus DSL-N55U models usind WDS to provide a 2.4GHz network which covers the whole house. It is far from perfect but it does what it needs to do. I Haven't the money to go investing in dedicated APs as much as I would like to. The main AP/Modem is in the hall and the other is in the conserveratory come greenhouse come lean to come I don't know what. It is wired from the switch in my bedroom for the time being.

 

Even though network transfers rarely happen I went gigabit a while ago as I was told to expect FTTH availability and although that was some time ago it does make using the NAS a lot easier.

 

On the wireless network we have the usual iDevices and a smart TV in the lounge. I didn't model the wireless devices as it would get silly. The MacBook Air in my room is wired in as it rarely moves from it's table and the wireless speed up here isn't much to shout about. It varies from device to device but the 360 itself can barely hold the wireless signal hence everything in my room being wired.

 

Anyway if anyone has any questions let me know..
