I settled on some old HP switch that came with a pair of XFP ports. 10:49 <@_NSAKEY> I was also running 2 port LACP groups from the table switches to the core switches. 10:49 <@_NSAKEY> Turns out, it was overkill, but it was fun to set up anyway. 10:51 <@Corydon76> Overkill is better than a troll deciding to kill your network for the fun of it. 10:51 <@_NSAKEY> That's what the baseball bats were for. 10:52 <@_NSAKEY> I'm probably not going to do the LACP groups this year, because I did some field testing (aka yanking wires overnight during the con) and determined that it wasn't needed. 10:52 <@Evilpig> Mirage: at tumblr we used 48 port sfp switches. 10:52 <@_NSAKEY> That works out, since I kind of want to focus on doing some monitoring-related fun on the uplinks. 10:52 <@Evilpig> had some 10g and 40g cables to go into them. they were pretty spiffy 10:54 <@Corydon76> The only problem with all SFP switches is that you can't use a 48-port switch as a 2-port media converter. 10:55 <@Mirage> Evilpig: yeah.._at tumbler_ 10:55 <@Mirage> tumblr, whatever 10:55 <@Evilpig> someone could get some hand me down equipment from say... a truck that drives out of a certain lab out at a not-so-secret gubment site, right Dolemite ? 10:59 <@_NSAKEY> Here's an odd question: Anyone have experience with Gigamon taps? 10:59 <@_NSAKEY> I kind of ended up with one, and it works, but there's almost no public documentation. 11:12 < Synx_hm> _NSAKEY, the switch with the intel x520-da1 and DAC is $50 more so $375 but again i think i have a $50 off 11:14 <@_NSAKEY> I've also read horrible things about Quanta's interface. 11:14 < Synx_hm> it is horrid i hear but check this out... http://brokeaid.com/ 11:14 < PigBot> Brokeaids (at brokeaid.com) http://tinyurl.com/y88okv3p 11:15 < Synx_hm> that switch is a ref design so you can just flash over brocade firmware 11:15 <@_NSAKEY> There was apparently a firmware image for the LB4M that had a web UI, but it was so awful that they removed it in later revisions. 11:15 <@_NSAKEY> Yeah, I saw that on r/homelab (I think) back when it was new. 11:16 < Synx_hm> honestly im really mostly interested in playing around with L3 switching and not having to make my pfsense box do it all i route between 10 vlans on my home network lab 11:27 < TheDukh> g 11:32 <@Mirage> _NSAKEY: I only did LACP from the firewall/router to the main switch at PN to give it more bandwidth..everything between the main and the floor switches was just 1gE 11:50 <@_NSAKEY> I had LACP between the tables and the core. 11:50 <@_NSAKEY> We had some issues the previous year, but it turns out that was most likely because the switches were daisy chained. 11:51 <@_NSAKEY> No, that wasn't my fault. Yes, I became the not-so-benevolent dictator of the network and fixed it the following year. 15:26 -!- Synx_hm [~Synx_hm@unaffiliated/synx-hm/x-1623004] has quit [Quit: Leaving] 16:18 <@Mirage> Dolemite: actually caught K9 online and gave him crap about going to GeekNIC 17:50 -!- rhia [~rhia@wtcdsl-66-165-15-89.whidbeyteldsl.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 17:56 -!- oddball [~oddball@h96-61-175-66.lvrgtn.dsl.dynamic.tds.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 18:24 -!- oddball [~oddball@h96-61-175-66.lvrgtn.dsl.dynamic.tds.net] has joined #se2600 19:53 <@brimstone> anyone know the handle of the greg that helps with AV sometimes at phreaknic? 20:05 -!- ezelkow1 [~sasquatch@2601:282:702:1eb8:407a:f1a0:2fc8:cec5] has joined #se2600 20:05 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o ezelkow1] by ChanServ 20:44 -!- dfused [~dfused@c-73-11-137-36.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 21:03 -!- dfused [~dfused@c-73-11-137-36.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #se2600 22:11 -!- rhia [~rhia@wtcdsl-66-165-15-89.whidbeyteldsl.net] has joined #se2600 22:11 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o rhia] by ChanServ --- Log closed Sat Mar 31 00:00:39 2018
