[ Show your pfSenses! ] - Thread - (bandwidth warning!)
-
@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 test rack at ESF/Netgate.
This is where pfSense gets hammered.

Primary and Testbox just put in small quarter rack. Wire management to come. :)

Nicely routed cabling. ;)
A sharp contrast to many others (including me!) ::)Steve
-
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)--edit: edited screenshot again--

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.Steve

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 ;)

Here's the last couple of installs…

Thought I would post an updated pic of my setup.
The hardware is still the same as stated in this post.
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=57028.msg304531#msg304531Earlier 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.

My home rig.
2x2U IBM X3650 with Vsphere 5.5 Enterprise Plus running HA, HP Procurve 2810-24G and a Linksys WRT1900AC to handle the wireless clients.
And a slightly modified Lack rack from IKEA :D

Nice. How's the WRT1900AC working out for you? Too expensive for me, especially when the open source friendliness claims turns out to be a bit stretched.
