      Just backup the config. It's almost as fast to recover (discounting package reinstallation)

            hehehe... Good one @ikkuranus but I think they are working on bringing the pics back... I sure hope so many threads don't make a lot of sense without the pics.

              don't need no stinkin alt text

              I made a few changes from my setup last year.
              I upgraded to a deeper rack with a few more rack units of space to accommodate a Dell Powerconnect 5524p and to hold my HPE Microserver g10 NAS. The primary goals for this upgrade were for 802.3af and 10gbe to several devices. ( I have a second switch that can be stacked with the first for an additional 2x sfp+ ports)
              I'm still using the Netgear CM600, Netgate 2440, and Rpi3 model B but the pi will be repurposed shortly after I virtualize FreePBX.

                I will attach hardware photos here a bit later.. But i must say it feels wonderful to have a router working flawlessly again since i had problems with my old one recently (hardware bought via Aliexpress). The new Netgate hardware uses half the power the old hardware did and manages my 117/17 Mbit fibre connection flawlessly. Running 2 OpenVPN tunnels too without any issues and always full speed on the tunnels :)

                Uptime is 58 days now (i recieved the hardware 58 days ago.. But since i have to shut it down to move some cables soon this uptime will be no more..)

                            Hooked up 10Gbps LAN on 6100 to a UniFi Pro 48 using a Ubiquity Direct Connect Cable.
                            Physically connected on the 6100 to port labelled "WAN4" and then swapped LAN and WAN4's interface assignments and then rebooted the pfsense. Then renamed the WAN4 to LAN1 to avoid more confusion. I really dislike how they labelled these physically for this class of a router, and preferred something more generic like their old models.

                            Oh and the Meraki makes a great stand for the 6100 😀
                            We are in the process of moving out all Meraki hardware!

                              I've finally made the holes in the walls necessary to bring the 6100 into my rack. Now I'm wondering whether I should remove the brush cable manager and bring the two DACs through the holes next to the netgate. And while I'm at it, how do people route these DACs? Messy :(
                              Going to have to agree with the WAN3/4 labels being less than optimal.

                              Between this and my TR system, and despite the energy efficiency of the 6100 (thank you!) there's a little too much heat in this room. This guy is going to have to go upstairs. More holes at some point, and attic work....

                                Netgate SG-2100 Max, small but packs a punch.

                                Very powerful yet smaller than the DSL modem.

                                Apple extreme WIFI N with huge external drive, and the DSL modem.

                                This provides big firewall tools inside a small footprint.

                                            @bbaalen some of the sites I worked on in Chicago years ago also had them control the shades on the windows lights would dim, and even projector screens. It's amazing what they can do with them.
