        @cmb:

        Good idea for a thread. We're going to gather pictures from a variety of threads like these in the future and create some kind of micro-site showing off people's deployments. In the mean time, might as well get another thread going.  :)

        Here's our primary colocation facility, where this site and most of our others run, as well as the snapshot and release build servers. The firewalls are virtual in ESX, a HA pair with primary on one ESX server and secondary on another.

        It should probably be noted that this has changed substantially since Dec '12.  The R510s are still in-use, but we use real hw firewalls now, not VMware, and there is a redundant 10Gbps link running to the office, where the build servers now live.

        Will try to post pics soon.

          In the meantime, we gave the freebsd foundation two custom-etched APUs to raffle off at BSDcan.

          Here's a flickr album from one of the winners.

          The other case had a Canadian Mounty themed "Beastie".

            The test rack at ESF/Netgate.

            This is where pfSense gets hammered.

                  Nicely routed cabling.  ;)
                  A sharp contrast to many others (including me!)  ::)

                    Tnx!  ;D

                    It's nice because I had time & means to properly select cable lengths.
                    But there's no such thing as an ideal world… (see next picture :D)

                      Ah, that looks lore like what I'm used to.  ;D
                      All running pfSense? Can't make out the LCD on the XTM5s to be sure.

                        No, the xtm's are still WG licensed. Only the xcores as they were leftovers from a trade-in/upgrade program. Maybe one day…  ;)

                          It turns out that pfSense box can make a decent Metal Gear model stand. And let's face it - no one f**ks with your network when there's Rex around ;)

                                    Thought I would post an updated pic of my setup.
                                    The hardware is still the same as stated in this post.

                                    Earlier this year I transitioned it to this rack since having an 18 month old son had me rethink my setup. For some crazy reason he thought certain buttons were there for him to push. ;)  I got the rack for $180 including shipping/delivery… Couldn't pass it up. Totally worth it.

                                        6 out of 8 ports in use:

                                        • WAN

                                        • Primary LAN

                                        • DMZ

                                        • Guest public WiFi

                                        • Outbuilding separate LAN connected via roughly 1/4 mile fiber link

                                        • (planned/not yet connected) backup WAN connection

                                            And a slightly modified Lack rack from IKEA :D
