| Opinions needed on re-wiring a small office network Posted: 02 Mar 2019 11:14 AM PST My current project is replacing my offices existing SOHO-grade network with proper business quality hardware. The existing network was built in two parts as the building was renovated to add more office space at some point. Currently there is a closet on the main floor containing our modem, router, switch, and a patch panel with all of the runs to the back half of the building. There's a second closet upstairs with a switch and a patch panel with runs for the front half of the building. There's a single gigabit uplink between them. My gut is telling me that I'd rather have all the runs terminated in a one location along with all of the network hardware, but I'm having trouble coming up with a concrete reason WHY it would be better to pitch to management. I know that rewiring half of the building is not in the budget currently, so my proposed solution is to run 24 lines from the upstairs patch to the downstairs one. The cost to do that wouldn't be nearly as running brand new lines, but still a lot of cost if there's no real benefit. The easier (and cheaper) option would be to keep the layout as it is and install a new switch in each closet. If I was doing that, I would either install a second uplink and LACP them, or look at replacing it with a 10gb uplink instead. Any input/opinions would be appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2019 03:38 PM PST Does anyone know how one can go about obtaining Whois data in bulk? I know there exist paid services (see links below), which offer exactly what I'm looking for, but I find it frustrating that there doesn't appear to be a legitimate way to go about grabbing this data. The reason I find it frustrating, is because the data itself is open and free. I've thought about automating and parsing the results from running a command line https://domainnamestat.com/ and https://www.whoisxmlapi.com/ [link] [comments]  |
| SIP / VoIP Phone in loud workshop environment. Posted: 02 Mar 2019 02:57 AM PST Just installed a new phone system (Sangoma FreePBX.. it's pretty good). 2 of the Sangoma Phones / extensions are in a loud environment / machine shop. The new phones don't have as loud a ringer as the old phones. No-one can hear them. There are loud ringers for SIP systems but they're pretty expensive at around £250 / £300 each. I was thinking using something like this.. VoIP to analogue adapter: https://www.voipon.co.uk/fanvil-g100s-analog-adapter-ata-gateway-p-7924.html Then this.. a loud ringer for a traditional analogue system: https://www.discountcommunications.co.uk/acatalog/BT-Loud-Indoor-Telephone-Bell-877905-DC9814341.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA8OjjBRB4EiwAMZe6y85yqiDwItHsEmM3O7CzM1osciyxTeiwS9aTrHNDMld_kvqevLcosxoCaiIQAvD_BwE Then was Gona give the Adapter / Ringer it's own extension.. then set it in a ring group so it rings along with the handset extension Would this work?

| Python Automation for Dual-Stack Routed Access Design Posted: 02 Mar 2019 02:34 PM PST Hey, folks! I've got a small Youtube channel where I demo network configuations, and most recently I've been documenting my progress in deploying Python scripts, using Ansible, etc. I posted my last video here, and was given good feedback so thought I'd post this one too. Disclaimer, I consider myself a total beginner to network automation, so if there's issues with the script, then you have my apologies haha. The script is there for anyone to play around with or use and improve in any way they want. My latest video is deploying a dual-stack configuration over a routed access design. The script connects over IPv6 to make IPv4 changes, and IPv4 to make IPv6 changes, so temporary drops in adjacencies do not affect reachability. The scripts starts with a basic EIGRP config to bootstrap general connectivity (I liken it to scaffolding) and is stripped away at the end when the final configs are applied. If you just want to see the script in action skip to around 31 min 30 seconds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W_6_-y6Upo Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2019 11:09 AM PST Hello folks, I will be starting my web development company soon and have just rented an office that I need to set up so myself and 3 other employees can optimally work. I have come to you today because I need help in designing my office network. I have talked with my ISP and will have a fiber optic cable running into my office and to the "server" rack, but from there on it's all me and I'm not a networking guy so I need your help (please). I am thinking to start with a 9-15 U Wall mount cabinet to put a 16/24 port managed switch in it, a NAS and a super fast WiFi router on top. There will not be more then 4 workstations plus printer and security cameras DVR, a projector and idk maybe 2 other wired internet connections, so I should not need more then 16 ports, but just in case I will be growing in size I'm thinking to get a 24 port switch. So far seems easy (except I don't know what brands I should pick so if you could help me with a specific model name that would be great). The thing is that since we're doing a lot of web development I will most likely be needing to access the network remotely more then a couple times, so I'm wondering do I need a firewall? And how should I set up the network so I will have only one computer (let's say the one hosting a few web servers) be accessible from outside the network and not the personal workstations. What do you think and do you know any good articles I could read on this topic? Thanks Edit: I am in a little town in Romania, not USA [link] [comments]  |
| Slow connection made with mellanox connect x2 and x3 Posted: 02 Mar 2019 01:22 PM PST Using latest build (1809) of windows 10. From startup my connection takes sometimes a couple of minutes to connect. I had read issues like this from other users of the x2 and they said they fixed it by going with the x3. So I upgraded and still have the delay. I looked for drivers from mellanox but am not exactly seeing the one that stands out to me. The transceivers I'm using are 10gtek for mellanox. With 20' fiber to an Aruba s2500 and the router is a pfsense build running on an i5 4590. Anyone know of drivers I'm supposed to download or any tweaks to windows I can make so I have a connection by time I'm to the desktop? [link] [comments]  |
| Leviton Quickports or Monoprice Keystone help Posted: 02 Mar 2019 12:02 AM PST I am having a hard time deciding to either using leviton cat6 Quickports or Monoprice Keystone jacks. I previously installed 12 cat5e leviton Quickports to 6 of my rooms with leviton wallplates, and then 6 to my patch panels (2x12 ports) 3 years ago. I am in the process of installing 14 runs of cat6 cable, so I'm going to need 28 Quickports/keystone jacks. Part of me wants to keep everything consistent with my existing leviton infrastructure, since I already have the leviton quickport patch panel. When I price the leviton build out I'm going to end up spending ~$150 just for 28 quickports, and Monoprice build out with all new keystone wallplates, 40 keystone jacks (10 cat5e, 24 cat6) and new patch panels will be ~$70 I feel like I'm falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy, since I want to keep it all leviton. Mainly due to how the leviton wall plates are aesthetically nicer to me, quickport patch panel is lower profile, and the 30 year warranty (but I'm not sure that even applies author since I'm not a leviton certified contractor) Any input would be great. Right now I wish I would have used the Monoprice when I initially setup the cat5e jacks to make this decision easier. [link] [comments]  |
