Sweeeeeeet :o Thats what i'm trying to accomplish but i still need more money (although my setup is already too fat for home networking) ;)
-
Well I can't pass up this opportunity.
Yes, I have a problem. I'm trying to cut down. ;)

haha Those aren't running the Watchguard software I presume? ;D

I'd love to say none of them are but the X-edge boxes at the top are Arm based and I haven't managed to hack a workable OpenWRT image onto them. Yet. ;)

Well I wish I had a fancy setup. Here is a a pic of my pfSense box.
SUPERMICRO SYS-5015A-EHF-D525 1U Intel Atom D525 Dual Gigabit LAN w/ IPMI Server
4 gig ram
Intel EXPI9402PT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
two 250gig WD black 2.5 inch drives mirrored
1500AV UPS (not shown) for 1.5 hours of backup time.
And for the heck of it a Crystalfontz display. :-D
Have gigabit wireless access point as well hooked up. (not shown)Don't make fun of my makeshift fan bracket (zip ties in vent). lol The system is "passively cooled" and I didn't like the 65°C so i put a case fan in and now its 40°C. Not exactly where i would want it but much better.

No wait - its a Coax splitter for your TV-Signal, not the one for the modem. You should have a multimedia-splitter already at your wall (1x modem, 1x tv, 1x radio) you split the tv one! And yes, its a standarf 3.5dB splitter, so you should keep care of your stats. Maybe some adjustment of your cablenetwork is needed (increase the power on your cable amplifier and use an -3,5 attenuator for your cable modem).
For me it worked just out of the box, without modifying anything, because its just - 3.5dB :)IF YOU MODIFY YOUR AMPLIFIER - KEEP AN EYE ON THE SLOPE :)
So u got

LOG___TVRegarding your question: Using RRDTool with complete custom (self written) templates and also own scripts to feed the RRD (which i can supply).

Heh, sounds like you guys have a slightly different cable setup over there. I have no cable amplifier, and I do not use the cable for my TV's (I use DirecTV for TV), so my coax is one single lin from the drop to the modem, no splitters no amps, nothing, its just raw right into it. So, yeah, I will be using a little simple 2-way slitter. But, my wife will be pissed if I buy the DVB-C card/stick right now so it will be a little bit. I WILL be working on making a scraper for my modem stat page, and then use that data to feed into the RRD graphs, though.

Colocation setup:
pfSense 2.1-DEV based cluster running on two TYAN Transport servers ;D
Basic information:
-
1x CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2992.51-MHz 686-class CPU)
-
2x Intel(R) PRO/1000 Legacy Network Connection (1.0.3)
-
1x 3Com 3c905B-FX/SC Fast Etherlink XL (PFSYNC, XMLRPC via Fiber Optical)
-
real memory = 4294967296 (4096 MB)
The switching stack was built using two NETGEAR GS724TS (stacked via HDMI). The firmware is a pure pain but when tamed it somehow gets the job done. It's the cheapest stack I found and using LACP accross multiple physical units is definitely a big plus! Our provider runs LACP for our uplink as well so even the wan connection survives a dead unit :)
The entire setup is considered stable and runs for almost 13 months now w/o any service interruptions (e.g. crashes or similar).
@Home:
-
1x PCEngines Alix 2D13, 4GB CF
-
1x HP Switch 1900-8G (formely known as 3com OfficeConnect 3CDSG8)
-
1x Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT (Kamikaze)
-
1x WRT54G running DD-WRT (some release)
-
1x APC SmartUPS 500VA (in the back)

Nice. :)
1x Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT (Kamikaze)
Isn't 'Kamikaze' an OpenWRT code name?

Yeah, damn straight ;)
Fixed it, thanks!

pfSense is on the right for my home setup. White box running a Q8400 processor and 4GB RAM on a Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L.
Its twin brother on the left is my FreeNAS server and the Dell 755 in the middle runs XBMC to my living room TV.

Figured I would join in on the fun.. Just a little box keeping my network safe while allowing me to enter when i'm not home…

PS: picoPSU-150-XT Power Supply 80W AC-DC Power Adapter Kit
Extras: Intel Dual Port Server NIC, PCIe (Can't remember the model as I already had it)You'll notice 2 cable modems.. The Arris is my phone and internet modem.. The RCA modem and Netgear WiFi is for TWC Intelligent Home only
I posted this a while back about my setup... Needs an update tho since i'm using different packages now... http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,39362.0.html

HP Procurve 2600-8 PoE Managed Switch
Cisco 2821 router /w DSP, T1 controller, 2 FXO ports
Redcomm PBX with 2 T1 Trunk cards and 4 Pots Trunk CardsWith this setup I have IP TV since Comcast is taking to long! I'm a cord cutter
but I need live TV so this gives me the best of both worlds. All my cable boxes
are Windows 7 HTPCs. I have a Cisco 7940 VoIP phones and I use the Cisco 2821
As a Voice gateway to connect to the outside world via Magic Jack. I also have a T1 trunk to the PBX so I can practice connecting to legacy equipment. I have attached a picture of my setup because I'm not sure if the link that I have provided of the picture will show up, it's not showing up when I preview this message. I also have netbook with a netzoom usb fax modem not pictured here for inserting callerID (Win7callerID) information on top of the TV when people call. There is also a Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii in this closet. I also have a two cable modems 100 Mbps service and 50 Mbps Service from Comcast.PS. Most of the equipment is backed up by UPS power.

^ :o Best Home Setup thus far, congrats Mike
;)
-
Thanks, I forgot to add I have Cisco Call Manager 4.3 and 8 running in a VM controlling the phones. I'm thinking about adding a asterisk box for the Voice mail capabilities and seeing if I can integrate that with call manager since I don't have Unity. Anyone who has done this already please pm me.
-
I agree it's an impressive rack! ;)
Dare I ask how much power that draws? Do you run all of that 24/7?Steve
-
When I built the room I added 20 Amp services dedicated to just the room. Not sure how much current it draws but by electric bill is about $250 in the winter and close to $400 in summer with air conditioner running. I run everything but the PBX all the time. By the way for wireless I use the EnGenius EAP600 High-Powered Dual-Band Indoor Wireless-N AP.
I think its worth it though. I'm not much of a partier and I don't through my money away on strippers I just like to play around with things and make them work. Hopefully I will find my dream job where my boss will buy me what ever I want and I can play with things at work. I have a pretty fancy lab at work too, where I have a IPsec tunnel. One of these days I will get around to document that for you guys too. I do think it's telling that I have a Cisco 2821 series router but I would rather use Pfsense for my router / firewall than use Cisco. Don't get me wrong I'm a big Cisco fan but I am really liking what you guys at Pfsense are doing and I am telling all my Cisco Fan boy friends about you guys. Keep it up!

Nice looking case. What is Inteno? I searched it on bing.com and only found reference to a open source platform, and something about a broadband service in Sweden.

Looks like a Switch with the optional Fiber tray.
