Post your HOME networking setup!

DRZ · 8 Apr 2008 at 16:58

Ok guys, curious to know how many of you have a crazy home networking setup!

Pics are all good (800x600 max though please chaps!), although some detail / explanation would be useful!

I'll start things off with mine:

Cisco Catalyst 2950-24 [10/100 Level 2]
3Com 4900 [100/1000 Level 3]
Nokia IP330 running PFSense
Linksys WRT-54G
Compaq Proliant DL360 [Dual [email protected], 2Gb RAM, 2x 146Gb in RAID1, Debian Etch / Windows Sever 2003 / CentOS]

Not in the picture:

Laptop, Windows desktop, Ubuntu desktop, Fileserver

Two 2048-bit encrypted OpenVPN connections to external networks, soon to be 3 when I get around to it.

OSPF dynamic routing implemented fully across all connected networks.

Each of the connected networks is running individual internal DNS which is held in secondary records for each of our servers, making things much easier.

Code:

Under the bed, must get very toasty DRZ

Where on earth did you get all that.. I take they are hand downs from work?

DRZ · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:02

Nope, I work in a shop

All bought myself

Doesn't get hot enough to worry me, and the loudest thing there is the 4900 by a mile. Certainly not loud enough to bother my sleep

Admiral Huddy · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:04

Impressive

Put's my four way homeplug switch to shame ..

PhillyDee · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:11

I posted this in the show your racks too.

Firewall router and 16-port gigabit switch. With Wireless access point (not shown) and a WHS server serving media with Twonkymedia + remote access to all my files.

Im waiting for 3x 1u blanking panels im gonna glue some slotted trunking to (Which i just happen to have 6 metres of) tidy the wires up. Thats underneath my test bench.

OllyM · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:14

That photo is a bit out of date now but...

3x ADSL routers (BT Voyager 210's now)
FireBrick 105 hardware firewall that also does per packet routing to bond
Linksys PAP2 VoIP ATA
Apple Mac mini running OS X Server doing DNS, Mail, HTTP and VPN
Linksys WAP54G wireless access point
Some Dynamode 10/100 unmanaged switch

WAP54G has just died and will be replaced with an Apple Airport Extreme, and the Dynamode switch is going to be swapped for a Gigabit switch soon

mike1210 · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:15

No pics but I have a Cisco 877W and Cisco 2940 switch, runs tidy fair dues

tres · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:19

i have

Q6600 (general computer) ---> router
XP3200 (Media Centre on plasma downstairs) -> router
xbox 360 ---> router

and i feel nerdy having that.

no longer.

timking · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:38

No Visio designed diagrams form anyone?! Poor show

quackers · 8 Apr 2008 at 17:57

whats the spec of the other older compaq server on the right hand drz?

Also, how difficult is the Nokia IP330 to configure?

DRZ · 8 Apr 2008 at 18:02

Its not a server, its a SCSI array

It has 12 18.2Gb SCSI disks in it.

I don't have the Nokia Firewall software installed on the IP330 so I don't know how difficult that is, but once you have PFSense (or any other firewall distro that has serial support) installed (which is a bit of a faff, if I'm honest) its fairly simple to configure.

The spec is fairly 'low' being about a 266MHz CPU but the RAM is upgradable and they are more than capable of routing my internet traffic at 100mbps wire-speed.

I use an IP440 elsewhere (also running PFSense) which is slightly more powerful and that handles two 100Mbit internet connections at 100% saturation without batting an eyelid.

quackers · 8 Apr 2008 at 18:04

Hmm interesting, i've never used any nokia kit only cisco pix 501's.

I aim to have one installed at home, once i can bag one cheap enough from the bay

Mattitude · 8 Apr 2008 at 18:09

What make of cabinets are they? and where did you get them from?

Moley · 8 Apr 2008 at 18:09

I'm running a Cisco 800 series adsl router, a pix 501, belkin G+MIMO wireless switch and a 3com switch. I have a Cisco switch but it's too noisy so use the 3Com instead.

Mad that you have all that other stuff and are using OSPF at home....

Clown · 8 Apr 2008 at 18:09

Hmm, I'm running two ISPs.
Be* = Netgear DG834N
Virgin Cable = DLink DIR-655

Code:

(192.168.1.5)

Then this does some random stuff do to do something something.

Code:

ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 table T1

ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 table T2

ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.1.3
ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth2 src 192.168.0.3

Why did you have to post this DRZ... so much effort

lol

Anyway:

Two Netgear 10/100 L2 switches, with Gig/E Copper + Fiber uplinks.
Netgear 5Pt Gig/E as Gig backbone for desktops VLAN Soon to be replaced with L3 Switch.
Vlan Gig/E trunk down to room in 3rd pic, carring DMZ, Desktop, server and 'housemates' vlan (802.1q)

Top, Desktop.

Middle, Routing server. Runs quagga for OSPF routing (And happens to be the other end of DRZ's 2048bit VPN connection) Also does firewalling and currently routing between my vlans, has remote access and routable internet IP tunnels terminating at host in germany. Gentoo x86, 2GB ram.

Lower, Solaris NAS, using ZFS for reliability and SATA drives as back end storage, exports via NFS, CIFS and iSCSI, currently running solaris snv_88.

Server room,
Other L2 Netgear as VLAN endpoint for all net's, Incoming Internet for DMZ traffic, Outbound 'housemates' vlan for web only access to distro router's/AP's dotted around the house.

Cisco 2950 as an edge switch for the IPv6 project contained on VM's in the big black dell:
Dell 4400, 2x800Mhz PIII Xeons with Perc2I raid controller, 36Gb SCSI Disks (Ultra2) Running VMware to host IPv6 test setup

1u Compaq Dl360G3 Running VMware ESX. Dual 2.8Ghz Xenons, 2x36GB Raid1 U320 drives, 6x Gig/E network 4GB ECC Ram.
Running:

House Edge router and traffic shaping - PFsense
Internal Solaris DHCP / DNS (bind9)
General server (buntu) for hellanzb / apache / test scripts
Trixbox VoIP PBX
Mail server, Sendmail and scalix CE

the Dual 2.8Ghz Server allowed me to bin this lot:

All running through a 20Mb/s VM Cable connection
