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:

network.jpg


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:

Nope, I work in a shop :D 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 :)
 
I posted this in the show your racks too.

myrack.jpg


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.
 
ccab.jpg


That photo is a bit out of date now but...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 :)
 
i have

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

and i feel nerdy having that.

no longer.
 
whats the spec of the other older compaq server on the right hand drz?

Also, how difficult is the Nokia IP330 to configure?
 
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.
 
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

Drop me an email (in sig). Might be able to help you.
 
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....
 
Hmm, I'm running two ISPs.
Be* = Netgear DG834N
Virgin Cable = DLink DIR-655

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

Anyway:
1.JPG

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)

2.JPG

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.


3.JPG

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
