network

We're a small design studio that is moving from our own huge office to a big co-working space (also with our own – much smaller – office). We're pretty excited about all the other people/work environment, but it also has its drawbacks – and one of them is the networking side of things. I'm...

Hey, I just bought a second AOC-STG-I2 for my VMWare lab - one of the few old (read: cheap) 10GbE cards still properly supported by ESXi. I'm pretty excited about it, but it's got a half-height bracket and I have a full-height slot. Does anyone know where I might get a full-height bracket...

Hi, new to OmniOS CE, have tried the old OmniOS/Napp-IT for a spell just to see how it works a year or two ago, but now am using it regularly in a VM for all my ZFS storage and NFS and SMB shares - I love that '# zfs set sharexxx=on pool/dataset' actually works! It's been difficult to get...

Here's a subject that I'm only obliquely exposed to at work, that seems to be in major discussion in light of recent events (i.e. Bloomberg Businessweek Supermicro story). I'm in the slow process of redoing my home lab, mostly downsizing/consolidating to fewer systems. Currently I manage each...

Hi, I'm selling this switch that I've been using, I ran into some bills and can't really afford to keep my 10Gb stuff. I was asking $400 since the lowest price I've seen it advertised for used is $500, but I'm willing to entertain offers, as well. It's an unmanaged switch (although it does...

Hi. I've been buying from members here, now its's time to sell. I have a Zyxel 1910-48 switch I used for about 6 months, but no longer need. It has the rack ears attached, and I'll include the power cable. I have a few short CAT-6 patch cables (6" to 2-ft) I can toss in as well if you need...

Based on my earlier thread i found that in order for me to get more reporting I need to setup a squid transparent proxy server of some sort. Now how to do that within the confines of my network structure which is basically: (Linksys ACM3200) Router->LAN Switch->PC's What i will have to do is...

Hallo everybody, i have a few questions about creating a "Webpage" for my personal network ... I've planned to build a NAS and use the OS FreeNAS for it. I'll explain what I mean with webpage... My intent is to create a NAS with my personal Media (like I posted in another threat) and I thought...

Hello everybody I plan to upgrade my home network to 10 gbps (and I'm a bit noob on this issue) And that's why I plan to buy several network cards with FPS + from eBay based on which I want to create a PC router. What adapters can you recommend? For no problem working in windows 10 / server 2012...

I bought 2 Cisco SGSG550XG-24F for our new Ceph cluster. The cluster has been setup in the lab with 2 of our old Blade G8124 24x10G Switches and worked seamlessly with good performance. For the sake of simplicity no VLAN config has been used in the lab setup. Now we moved to the SG550XG (and...

Hi, I'm trying to do something that I'm not sure if I can do without vSphere server, I have ESXi 6.5 without vSphere (standard built-in web-client only) and I want to create an internal network (separate vSwitch) that has traffic isolated from any physical NICs How do I do this? I created...

Disclaimer: I am not an IT professional but I like messing/learning/building and making my wife mad as I spend $$$ on our home network. She thinks that having a huge rack server with tons of stuff is only for bussines environment. Well, not for me. So I will keep spending :) Currently, my...

Hello mighty gods of information, I'm in need. I recently had a dedicated circuit installed (Level3) and then had a networking services company (BlackBox) run a cable drop for the ISPs equipment to my server room. The issue is that we're paying for a dedicated 100 mbps UP and 100 mbps DOWN, but...

I have 12 Supermicro X7DCA-L 1-U webservers which I acquired together. Two of the machines are misbehaving as of last week after running smoothly for a literally years. When an active network cable is plugged into the primary netowrk port the system ends up in a reboot cycle. However...

Hello, Currently I'm testing on Virtualbox Windows Server 2016. For this I had to use different network adapter configurations in the virtual box settings. I have created a short video on the Bridged configuration and I thought I could share the link with you.
