We have a TON of infrastructure and networking upgrades in the pipeline, but the first step was to both upgrade and correct some serious flaws in our networking. As is, a single failure could bring down our entire network for all three buildings. Today we fix that by building out a redundant high availability core switching setup with the help of Dell EMC's S5232F-ON 32 Port 100G switches, and a bunch of gear from FlexOptix, InfiniteCables, Ubiquiti, and Hammond Manufacturing!

Pretty much. I do what a lot of ISPs consider t2-t3 support and I get calls from super users all the time accusing us of having problems when all the problems are on their LAN. Yeah having a well-done network with VLANS, a real firewall, POE switches to cameras and APs, a pihole, ect is awesome, but it requires a ton of knowledge to design and maintain. IMO the most your average person should do is a mesh with a wired backhaul, or a Ubiquiti setup with a POE switch to AP's where everything is made easy with a GUI.

LACP is not the "combining" of two links into one, it is a control protocol for the underlying tech (ether channel, lag, etc) and bridging it between two distinct switches is typically called MC-LAG (Multi-chassis LAG), but for the target audience I think they explain everything appropriately.

It's really makes you wonder why they don't have a pro at this point. You know that they are really not networking or design professionals the moment they decide to move the switch from the back of the rack to to the front and don't think about whether the flow is front to back or back to front.. Either they didn't actually pay attention to airflow direction or they don't understand it plays a part in rack design. This type of thing makes for better videos, but their lack of real knowledge and cost effectiveness is painful.

I have to say, they got a custom extralarge rack...and it's utter sh*** compared to the ones I just put in that were off the shelf Rittal - those had space on both sides for cables, PDUs, and none of the issues they had with this. (Also, the way they moved it gave me serious anxiety as well).

@stephanweinberger 3 місяці тому
Small but important detail when moving switches from the rear to the front of a rack: pay attention to the airflow direction! Notice that when Linus pulls out the fan module it has an arrow pointing inwards. I.e. this switch is configured to pull in air on the PSU side and blow it out the port side, hence it's intended for installation in the rear of the rack. Probably not a huge problem in their server/network rooms; but when you have a hot/cold side setup it can really mess up cooling.
@Joseph_Fisher 3 місяці тому
I appreciate all of you at LMG for making these types of videos. I love, not only the very in depth projects like this, but the fact that you make networking equipment fairly easy to understand. As an IT student these types of videos really help my understanding of network equipment and funnily enough, I am currently in my introduction to networking course. You all are the reason I am into computers and network equipment and I can't wait to get my degree to work on actual networking equipment and computers in general. Keep up the great work, you will always mean so much to me, in a not weird way lol edit: I guess I should add that I have been watching this channel and the other channels from back when the studio/office was a house and all of your equipment and cebles were running from room to room throughout the house. There were absolutely no cares for design and it was great. You had a background for filming and the equipment was adequate enough for the, I believe, two channels at the time LTT and ChannelSuperFun I believe were the two OG ones.

Technology is important, and information is power. I'm a farmer too, in the United States, and I have a server rack. Nothing as big as this, with as much hardware as this, but a lot of my farm is data-driven and I have a lot of machines all across my property sending data to a central location with software I run to give me a high level view of what's going on currently and historically, so I can make good management decisions and maximize productivity of my plants and animals. Every bit of passively and actively collected data I can think to gather, I plug into the system, and I write programs to help me make sense of it with statistical analysis and alerts for anything unusual that I might want to take a closer look at. Then I also have my home network on the same rack, back-ups for personal and professional data, etc. Next PC I build I'll put on the rack as well, and keep the noise and heat away from my desk.

Aah, I think we can delay buying this piece or that piece the lab keeps pestering us about... Who cares right? The MBAs just want their next promotion somewhere else, right? While things run well no one notices but when services vanish suddenly everyone wants to talk to the IT staff.

I visited a major satellite ground station once that was supposed to absolutely never fail or have interruptions. The infrastructure was really interesting, their power came from two separate high voltage grids and they had three internet connections, two classical fiber optic links (different providers) as well as a free-space radio link to a station on a hill several kilometers away. Of course there were backup diesels to provide power in case of outages, but the generators would take some time to get up to speed and they didn't trust battery backups. Instead they had two flywheels with several tons each constantly spinning in case they had to bridge the gap between both grid connections failing and the generators coming online (with some of the big dishes drawing a few 100kW). They've been running for a few decades and never had any downtime so far. Simply insane engineering

Great steps in the right direction. We (the IT department I manage) embark on this project every five years at my company. We replace firewalls and switches if they're end of life/end or support. Good cable management and staying disciplined with routing and tagging cables saves you hours of work and headaches in the future, especially when transplanting/swapping hardware. I've dealt with the space limitations and cramming everything into a single rack. Undoing that 15 years ago was a nightmare. Never again, not on my watch. Good stuff. 👍

+1 for cable tagging - and double check that the tag is accurate, and then get another tech to check as well. A wrongly tagged cable is sometimes worse than a cable that isn't tagged at all.

Your ISP should be able to provide you with a second connection on an alternate path for your redundancy. You’ll be missing carrier redundancy but if the alternate path goes to a different POP you’re likely hood of downtime will be very small. Have the second path delivered to the lab.

I totally get why Linus doesn't want to pay for a second commercial internet connection. I think he mentioned the exact price at some point, but they're like $20k a month while not even being _that much_ faster than a residential connection which costs like $60 a month.
@MessyPointedBlob 3 місяці тому
The difference is guarantees. When you pay for commercial internet, you are getting guaranteed 24/7 network speeds with a SLA that obligates the ISP for swift repairs. . When you get residential internet, the speeds are "up to" and "lol if your internet is down due to a tree, we'll send a crew when we feel like it"
@leonardogodoy8687 3 місяці тому
Unless they have a less than 99% internet connection uptime, I totally understand Linus. A real commercial connection goes way higher than 10k, imagine twice that just for redundancy? At that point you may also double your staff just for redundancy in case one of them can't go to work once every 3 months lol

@StephenCole1916 3 місяці тому
I've done networking upgrades for a couple of major airlines in the US at major hubs. The usual practice is to have at least two main comm rooms with duel internet lines in, and even sometimes a cellular cradle point for up to provide redundant internet connectivity. There will be connections between the two rooms that will allow any one connection take over if one goes down. I can count on one hand of how many times a network has gone down hard over the last decade. And even then, it's been back up in 10-15 minutes as the network team re-routed connections that didn't work automatically.

With four more Dell ON switches you can build yourself a speedy, redundant and easy to manage Spine & Leaf fabric just like the hyperscalers.

Coming from a career is commercial low voltage contracting (A/V, networking, and fire/intrusion); you need to have some ladder racking, cable tray, and vertical/horizontal cable managers. It hurts my heart to see all of your cables ran in the way you have. You also seem to have a much needed lack of patch panels, it makes equipment reorganization much easier. You will also want to get a good Fluke network tester and test your runs. Industry standard is to test every drop. Best of luck and hopefully you up your game!

BGP and switch both connections to both buildings, preferably over separate gear/fiber than the rest of the network. Configure your firewalls to be active passive. That way if you lose (or need a maintenance window for) either buildings switching you can probably still keep both connections active, and you are still up if one of your ISPs has an issue.

This is the content I subscribe for 😎 I’m a network engineer and trust me, you don’t get much content like this on UKposts! With these speeds, make sure your Opnsense box doesn’t become a bottleneck. From experience these x86 firewalls can struggle at 10g+ when you start enabling some of the bells and whistles. Look into something like a Juniper SRX or Fortigate, those dedicated ASICs will let you go 25g+ intervlan no problem. Obviously if you’re doing intervlan just on the switch and not pushing it to the firewall then you all good 😊
