All the more reason to brush up. :D We use the protocol for production storage at work and I need to sharpen my skills. I know I could use a Linux box for it. I thought about getting an R740XD or a C240-M5 and doing just that. Or maybe I'll get one of those to run TrueNAS for iSCSI (what I use...

Thanks, and I'm aware. I have 24x 1.6TB and 9x 1.92TB disks coming in from a decom that are compatible with those arrays.

FC in the lab is more so because I manage the tech for work and need some more exposure to it, but I also have a Dell MX7000 in my lab, so I'm ok with overkill. I suppose if I wanted to, I could roll ESOS, but would rather not use hardware RAID unless it has GUI management like a more...

I'm looking for a Dell MD3620F or comparable 24x 2.5" SFF fiber channel SAN for my lab. Ideally something with dual controllers but can live nicely in a 2U form factor with the ability to add additional disk shelves. The MD3620Fs will pop up from time to time on ebay for $800, so looking to...

Well TIL... I had no idea there was a difference in that firmware I don't recall seeing anything in the Fohdeesha docs about that. I have pfsense handling routing, nothing doing that/ACLs on the Brocade. I'll offload some layer 3 to the Aristas once I get those up. I'm gonna get my laptop...

I'll check that out now. The default VLAN is 1, however, I'd prefer it to be 50, since that's my physical hardware management subnet. Since the AP's management is on VLAN 1, I keep reading that its native on all ports automatically, and I can't set VLAN 1 as untagged to any interfaces. I...

Alright, I'm beating my head against the wall on this one. I want to access my switch from a LAN IP and an IP on VLAN 50, but I'm not able to. I have ports 1/2/1 and 1/2/2 as uplinks to my core switches. I want these to be trunks. Anything on an interface with a single untagged port (such as...

That's perfect. Thank you, kind stranger!

Would you mind sharing your current/working config? I'm configuring the 48-port variant now and am curious what your config looks like, especially with the multi-VLANs.

All, I have found a large collection of EOS firmware, ranging from 4.12.11 to 4.25.1F. If anyone is in need, feel free to PM me. Also, I have read through this thread and have acquired 2x DCS-7050QX-32S switches for my lab. One has a hardware version of 1.32, running 4.21.2.3F firmware, and...

Thanks! I actually have plenty of flexible ducting and 2x AC Infinity T6 inline fans for my current setup. I plan to use at least one of them for exhausting the rack into the garage space or ducting it outside. I actually pulled the trigger on a mini-split after discussing it all with the...

Here's another crude drawing of my garage and plan... The problem with a mini-split, is that I'd need to install the interior unit on the exterior wall on the left, when would need to have some sort of insulated ducting run over to the far right wall to route the cooled air to the rack. I had...

Mini-split is definitely what way to go, I just didn't want something so permanent that I likely can't remove and put in the new place when we sell the house, not to mention the cost. However, I may just have to bite the bullet on that, or get this Vertiv VRC200KIT 12k BTU rackmount split...

Thanks, the expense is what's killing something like that for me. I've checked ebay, and don't see anything used at a price-point that would allow for some room to have an HVAC out to ensure it's 100% where it needs to be. I need to stay under $700 for the AC unit. I definitely can't exceed...

I'm putting a server rack in my garage that'll have about 2000W, with a potential max of 3000W load depending on how little sleep I get and more insane I become. I'm in Middle Tennessee and I also use my garage for garage-things, so having an AC in the garage to flood the entire garage with...
