We just did a big move over here and one of the contractors managed to totally wreck our custom-made 130 foot single-mode fiber cable, the one we had planned to use as the network uplink for the whole room. I walk into the server area and he's got the rack pulled forward... with the cable stretched tight from the overhead cable tray to the rack. We had some excess cable looped up and velcro'd to the cable trays, and his pulling had brought one of the loops down to the diameter of a quarter. That cable was hosed, we didn't get link no matter what we did. So we kinda need network access, but we don't have any spare single-mode fiber that was long enough. The old cable worked, but to connect from the fiber ingress at the wall to the server rack, we had to run it perpendicular across the room at head height, and the manager put the kibosh on that. Our current solution? Well, we had a spare Arista switch lying around, so we plugged in one 1310nm SFP and one 850nm SFP and configured both ports on the appropriate VLAN, then used the old single-mode cable to plug into the 1310nm SFP and a random multi-mode cable to run from the 850nm SFP to another 850nm SFP in the rack's core switch. Basically because some dumbass broke our cable, we're using a $15k Arista switch as a glorified media converter

I got to do a short tour of our data center yesterday (it's kept super secure, our tour of 4 people had to have 2 escorts). It was pretty cool and I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know. It's a pretty small data center (under 6000 square feet). We use HP Superdomes, with 128 cores and 4tb of ram per enclosure. 1400+ servers in the room, and something like 400+ network devices, and all the normal redundant stuff (UPS's, backed by a generator, blah blah). Our online storage is a pretty cool system that has multiple levels of storage, with the heavily used data in flash, then 3 other tiers of speed below that, and it's all moved dynamically based on load and need. The 'hot' flash storage is 750 terabytes. It's a pretty big set of cabinets with lots of pretty flashing lights behind the doors. Something like 150 tons of A/C for this room, and the cable management was simply beautiful - fiber all feeds from the ceiling, and cat cable all from below, and it's all labeled and extremely neat. The interesting thing to me was our connectivity. I assumed we had a couple of big fiber links coming in from redundant directions, but I was only partly right. The company does have multiple fiber links coming in from different directions to handle our inter-connectivity with our own company locations and intra-net stuff, but in the tour it was revealed that each client, as part of their contracts with us, provides their own redundant physical fiber connections to the building, so we have well over 200 dedicated fiber connections into our building!  If some dumb contractor doing roadwork a few hundred yards from our building ever nails one of the primary buried ducts running along the street, they are going to be paying for replacing dozens of fiber connections, not just a few like I always figured. Would suck to be that guy.I never have gotten one of the network guys to spill the beans on how big our pipe is between us and our data center in the eastern US, but we run both data centers hot with the same data (clients connect to whichever one is closer as their primary), and if one fails there is no outage at all from the clients perspective, so it's got to be a pretty decent sized pipe to keep the data updated in real time, as we have transactions up into the billions per day at our peak time of year.

So aside from the  about our possibly one-balled Norwegian, I've got a question for the networking knowledgeable of AI:I just switched to cable from DSL and find myself needing a wireless router. Unfortunately, the networking thread in SH/SC is huge and has a massively out-of-date OP. Is there anything decent in the $50~ish range? I don't have anything that supports AC, just N, and I don't tend to do huge file moves in-network. Edit: P.S. - I'm actually all of y'all and this forum is merely a manifestation of a schizophrenic hallucination. Magnus Praeda fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Oct 7, 2015 |

Magnus Praeda posted:So aside from the What I used to do was buy a DD-WRT compatible router, and run with that. But, after a few years of routers eventually failing (most likely) from heat buildup over time, I switched to using a UniFi AP.

It is super-stable, and being in a separate case from the actual router means that I don't have to worry about heat buildup. So, it goes like this: Modem -> <insert wired gigabit router here> -> UniFi AP. Fake edit, this is the wireless router I am using, but with it's built-in wireless turned off. I think I literally bought it for a dollar at Goodwill, as I have a habit of going to goodwill and looking at their routers and googling which ones are DD-WRT compatible. You'd be amazed at what people will throw out because they can't find a reset switch and have forgotten the password.

According to The Wirecutter, the best deal on a good router around right now is the TP-Link Archer C7, unless you've got a T-Mobile cell plan in which case you can put down $25 and get a Personal Cellspot, which is a rebranded RT-AC68U that can be reflashed to whatever firmware.

See but that poo poo is like $100 and something like the Unifi (doesn't have to be the unifi) is a really, REALLY rock-solid enterprise or super-home setup, which is also easy to get going. Downside is that you need a separate wired router for wired devices, but chances are you've already either got one, or have a buddy that has one kicking around. If you're wireless only, it can do that as well.

I'm confused--are you saying it can hand out IPs on its own as long as they're wireless devices? Wouldn't that make it a router rather than an AP? Or are you still using the wired router in this scenario just without actually connecting it to anything but the UniFi and modem? edit: Rhyno posted:I found out this morning he requested I be one of his pall-bearers.

Right now with the wired router I have the unifi as an AP, but if you don't care about internal network interconnectivity/being on the same subnet, then you can totally leave it in router mode. I actually did this initially because the only wired device I had left was the Xbox, and we only use the internet on it for updates and never stream files or anything so I didn't care. Then I got a few arduinos and Raspberry Pis and had to actually take 2 minutes of my life to set it up properly. The wireless itself on the wireless router is turned off and I'm using the unifi instead. This keeps the router cool, which I believe is the main killer of them in the first place. So I end up with an enterprise-level wireless network which is super stable and strong, and I do away with the main failing of consumer-level routers, which is heat in tiny, fashionable, but ultimately thermally choked cases.

While we're tearing each other down and admitting our lives are hosed up, Phone, stop blaming EEs for something that Franklin got wrong centuries ago and we've been stuck with ever since, electrons being negative is essentially that nasty legacy code you can't gently caress with because you break everything. Also I had a rough couple years from 2012-2014 but have mostly pulled out of it. 2008: got my first job, wasn't really what I wanted to do with my life but it paid the bills and was fun. 2009: got a GF, she was cool but it didn't work out and I was pretty torn up over it. Present-me thinks past-me was a fool. 2010-2011: bought a house and started fixing it up, got a new job that was supposed to be my dream job, ended up being a nightmare. 2012-2013: quit nightmare job and tried to run my own jeep wiring business, failed miserably, I am incapable of selling water to a man on fire. 2013: got my actual dream job, began rapidly paying off all overdue bills. First paycheck landed right after I got to work with not enough gas in my tank to drive home and $1.57 left to my name. Only made it that long because I did some side jobs welding stuff for AI goons. Thanks, Fart Pipe, I literally could not have made it to work for the last 3 days except for you basically forcing me to take $100 more than I quoted. I owe you one. 2014: Winter: met a girl, thought she was the one for the first time in five years, she turned out to be loving nuts and quite possibly bullshitting me about literally everything we talked about. Fall: got notice from the RMV that my license was being suspended for the large number of inspection tickets I received in the previous few years (yes, this is a thing. gently caress Massachusetts) and ended up moving into my parents spare bedroom and being dropped off at work like a goddamn highschool kid. Fixed all their cars and house in exchange. Everyone involved feels they got the good end of the deal, so that ended well. 2015: holy gently caress, life owns. It's been nothing but up since I got my license back in late 2014. House is in the best shape it's been in since I got it, met an amazing girl at an old friend's wedding and things have gone better than I ever thought possible. It's likely I'll have a heated house to live in this winter for the first time since 2010-2011, too. And I've gotten $20k in raises in two years.
