WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:10.160 so it's finally the day we are going from gigabit fiber internet to 10 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:14.799 gigabit internet on our own 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:17.760 dedicated wavelength so behind this door 00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:22.960 is my friends danny and chad from ital who are going to be helping me with this 00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:27.760 little upgrade by the end of which we will have literally 10 00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:32.559 times the bandwidth that we have currently to the main harbor exchange in 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.239 vancouver with glasswire you can instantly see 00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:40.800 your current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.760 apps on your pc or Android device use offer code Linus and get 25 off at the 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:53.280 link below 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.559 okay so step one uh collect underpants 00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:03.440 step two we need to look at these two electrical 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:05.840 rooms this one is building a is that correct 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.240 and then we also need to take a look inside the electrical room of building f 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:16.320 because my understanding is that maybe you could help find it for me the main 00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:18.159 fiber connection to telus is coming into 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:22.479 this building is that right yeah so here we found it this is the telus fiber 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.119 optic cable that is coming in from the street this is a it's a beefy it's a 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:31.759 beefy boy but you can actually see there's a reason for that 00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:34.240 here we are so that right there is all 00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:39.200 of the fiber strands that are protected not just by this orange and blue shea 00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:42.640 thing but then also by this thick black sheathing around the outside so we can 00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:48.000 tell three pairs so each one of these is a 00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:51.920 send and receive pair but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can only have 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:56.000 three fiber optic connections running into this entire complex of business 00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.759 units so one of the pairs here has actually been 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.640 there we go uh run into this guy so this is a cwdm and this takes a single 10 00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.039 gigabit wavelength and then it is splitting it out into ten one gigabit 00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:15.120 connections so our old connection actually runs off of this puppy right 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.440 here and then we just had two entire pairs that's what that would 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.440 be called dark fiber is that correct we're just not doing not doing anything 00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:29.120 at all so now aha you can see here minus media group 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:34.480 gets its own so we're running off of three and four that are dedicated just 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:39.920 to us now we're gonna take ah there we go this right here and we're gonna plug 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.959 in the one that's sitting up on the top and instead of going into our gigabit 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:47.440 gear it's now gonna go into our 10 gig gear 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.519 now you guys said this was some kind of switch what was the brand of it 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.840 so what this sienna switch does is it allows itel to constantly monitor the 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.760 speed that we're getting make sure that nothing's going down there's no hiccups 00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:03.920 or anything like that and then it's basically just going to pass through 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.800 over to building f where it will then carry over to our server room so to isp 00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:13.760 or data center guys who work with this kind of stuff all the time i might as well be making a video about a 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:18.000 screwdriver i suppose but for those of you who don't i want to take this 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.680 opportunity because we're not ready to cut over to this yet we've got to make 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.159 sure that the transceiver on the other end in our server room matches this one 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.480 before we can go ahead and just pop the fibers in i wanted to show you 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:36.319 guys exactly what kind of gear we're looking at so this is a long-haul 10 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.760 gigabit transceiver so our fibers go in here 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:44.640 and then they are converted to copper signals that your computer or your 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:48.720 router or your switch in this case can understand and there's all kinds of 00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:52.720 different types of these things everything from 00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:56.959 10 kilometer long range to 40 kilometer long range to short range ones to ones 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.319 that are designed to carry a single wavelength the ones that are designed to 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:04.000 carry multiple wavelengths and the main difference for this one is that it's 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:07.680 going to be laser rather than led which is what you'd 00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:11.439 normally use for just like one of the cheaper ones you get off ebay just you 00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:16.959 know running from your server room to your you know editing room or whatever 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:18.880 else and the strength of the signal so 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:22.320 it's super bright because it's designed to go over very long distances you want 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:28.320 to make sure they're not mismatched because even if you have two long range ones if you've got a very long range one 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:31.680 and it's too bright for the distance of the cable you can actually get 00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:35.199 attenuation so it's all dark magic to me but it's 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:39.759 pretty freaking cool okay so now we're headed over to the 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.840 electrical room of our building where honestly nothing really happens other 00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:48.240 than that it's just like spliced together basically is that right 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:53.120 yeah okay so this is a good opportunity though to explain the difference between 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.400 having your own dedicated wavelength and having your own 00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.880 dedicated fiber run so even though that fiber that's over in 00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:05.120 building a is going to go all the way out to the road and to tell us his 00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:09.440 nearest like like what would what would that be called 00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:13.840 a splice point it's going to be combined with other pairs over there and it's 00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:20.240 only that light wavelength that is actually dedicated to us along that path 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:24.240 and that path is dynamic like if if someone's you know digging a post and 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.759 cut something or whatever it's going to get automatically routed around but it's 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:33.280 still pretty much a direct path 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.600 tens of kilometers away to harbor center 00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.280 and what we're expecting to see is somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:44.000 gigabit per second and about one millisecond of latency so you guys 00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:49.440 actually had one of your texts did i overhear someone ran a benchmark and 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.440 what are we looking at from your switch 00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:55.759 9.8 gig well where's my other point too 00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:00.000 you bastards i can explain where it is yeah can you can you okay all right you 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:03.440 want to explain it no not on camera you don't want to explain it on camera all 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:06.240 right all right some something about tcp testing this is the thing about internet 00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:12.960 service providers you know there's always an excuse there's no oh there's overhead overhead 00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:15.919 okay so now we're over in our building so 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:19.039 building a was the first one of this complex so that's where everything comes 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.600 in from the street that makes sense so we've got one black 00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:26.400 cable here we go that comes all the way up here 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:29.680 and then into what would this be like a splicer box 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.759 like what would you call this sure i'm calling it a splicer box but he's 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:37.039 splicing cabinet maybe it's detecting around and it doesn't matter anyway so 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.120 you can see here all our fiber strands are 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.880 separated here and this would normally be closed for protection and then it's 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:48.960 going right there we're the only ones in this building with fiber internet 00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:54.160 obviously and then our yellow one goes into this orange sheath and then all the 00:06:51.440 --> 00:07:01.440 way back down here to unit 102 so 101 102 103 and 104 are 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.960 all Linus media group but that's where our server room is so now we're gonna go 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:11.199 over there so now we're in our server room where that orange uh sheath that we saw in the 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:16.479 other building comes in from the top and then it comes in the back of our cabinet 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:20.800 and plugs into this guy just a patch panel okay cool so then we're actually 00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:25.120 going to continue to use this exactly the same way we used to is that right 00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:30.000 now the one extra piece of equipment that we had before that we will no 00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:35.360 longer need actually is this mrv right here which was essentially a media 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:39.919 converter so we were taking this fiber out of our fiber patch panel and then we 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:45.599 reconfigured this guy so that we could run this copper connection into our 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:48.400 pfsense router which is actually over on 00:07:45.599 --> 00:07:56.720 the back of our rack so this just goes away and i i get a you back 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:59.440 yes good fantastic so then danny 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.280 basically what you need to check is if these are 00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:09.280 long-haul transceivers or short-range ones is that right not these not these 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.440 we need to check your new transceiver to make sure it's 10 gig my new transceiver 00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:16.319 which one's that in your pf sense 10 gig 00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:20.720 yeah it's just an sfp plus port so there's no transceiver okay then we'll 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.639 give you a transient yay okay so i've got up the menu and i think 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.400 i know which ones they are i think it's igb0 or one 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:32.719 i don't know which though so we're just it's gonna be a little bit of trial and 00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:34.240 error here um so next step then is 00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:37.039 message everyone and tell them the internet's going down 00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:42.959 internet going down warning 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:49.680 and five four three 00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:53.600 two one so i tell tells me normally this is a 00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:58.560 two-person operation so you can just like both move them at the same time but 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:02.880 um we wanted to film it we only had one camera person available so i guess 00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:06.720 everyone gets to sit inside in the dark of no internet they're both doing things 00:09:04.959 --> 00:09:11.360 look danny's plugging in the other one so there we go so what have you moved 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:16.320 over all i did was plug the cable in okay so that old one gig hardware is 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:19.360 technically all still there the one gig circuit's still up in parallel we know 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:27.519 it works then we tear it down then we tear it down got it so now theoretically 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.519 over on the other end we're 10 gig okay 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.440 so theoretically i should see like some kind of led indicator on that 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:42.000 if it's working i guess right nothing so far so there's six rj45s 00:09:38.959 --> 00:09:43.920 and two sfp plus right the smp plus are 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:48.320 not showing up in this place okay 00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:50.800 so worst case scenario there is a pci x 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:55.920 pci express expansion slot on this thing and we definitely have sfp plus cards 00:09:53.200 --> 00:10:01.680 that was definitely showing ixl 2 and 3 before though i'm sure 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.680 did they just die 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:08.720 what is this it doesn't actually say what it's trying to find 00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:14.160 arp requests cannot find matching address what is that even five reboot 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:19.760 the system yeah let's reboot normally so while it was booting up ix2 and 00:10:16.839 --> 00:10:23.120 three showed as all the devices were initializing 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:27.120 so uh they exist 00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:32.560 they're just not showing up in the list i think the problem might be 00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:36.720 that for lan interface i entered ixl0 instead of ixl0.1 00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:38.959 shouldn't matter well 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:48.000 it's still freaking out about that 10.20.0.74 nonsense i'm rebooting on the 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:51.519 bright side we have a link now that's good thank you danny let's thanks 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.000 danny no pillow there's no update 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:59.519 holy crap i think it actually kept the 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:03.040 configuration from last time look at this 00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:06.160 when is ixl3 it has an ip 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.920 okay so when interface 00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:13.760 um you guys want to have a look at this it appears to be up 00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:20.560 okay so we're not sure exactly what happened but the latest update is that 00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:22.560 uh itels guys are seeing our Mac Address 00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:26.160 what is that Anthony 00:11:24.079 --> 00:11:32.240 why did you have those why were those aggregated i don't know 00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:32.240 on our internet's up 00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:35.200 legs 00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:40.959 got leg killed today so 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:44.720 let the record show i actually did know what i was doing i 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:49.519 just didn't know that someone had tampered with my i mean sort of knew what i was doing 00:11:47.680 --> 00:11:55.279 like i i could have checked this before they got here what was happening was two 00:11:52.320 --> 00:12:00.320 of our eight interfaces just weren't showing up in this list because 00:11:57.839 --> 00:12:04.320 there was a link aggregation group set up that was showing up but we didn't 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:07.680 recognize because we were looking for ixl3 00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:12.480 so everything that i thought was supposed to happen with everyone arguing 00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:16.720 with me where i was like no no blah blah blah it'll show up and all this stuff 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:20.959 and blah blah blah blah blah the only thing i did wrong was i bunged up 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:25.920 plugging in the fiber so that it wasn't lighting up since 00:12:22.839 --> 00:12:27.200 then it's been i mean there's a there's 00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:30.560 an element of user error you know what i'm sure all the network admins in there 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:34.800 the ones that aren't telling us that pfsense is totally unsuitable for 10 gig 00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:39.839 are are telling me why i'm wrong but anyway the point is 00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:39.839 you know what 00:12:39.920 --> 00:12:45.600 bam it's working all right so what we want to do now is 00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:51.680 ping our gateway and see if we're getting the advertised one millisecond 00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:55.519 uh ping times so you're at percent here danny fifty percent part of that 00:12:53.839 --> 00:12:59.839 response from your road oh yeah oh you're blaming my router now oh i see 00:12:57.760 --> 00:13:03.279 how it's gonna be so we can actually see here whether we should blame my uh my 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:08.399 router or not it looks like our 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:10.079 send time is point three milliseconds 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:13.360 and then our round trip time is right in the neighborhood of two milliseconds 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.880 there so we can see that by refreshing it here it's really consistent 00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:21.040 dang so it's all working we've got internet 00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:26.480 but one of the coolest things about our sub two millisecond round trip time to 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:30.079 harbor center is that we could basically 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:32.240 have direct layer two access to 00:13:30.079 --> 00:13:37.279 anything else that's in there so if we wanted to connect directly to a cdn or 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:40.480 if we wanted to put our own servers in there i mean i guess that's probably 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:47.279 expensive but theoretically we could do it right we just have a 10 gigabit pipe to harbor 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:51.519 center that happens to be bringing us internet now the way you explain it to 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:58.320 me we basically have five and a half gigabit to the broader internet but 10 00:13:54.959 --> 00:13:59.920 gigabit to anything that's at vanix is 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:04.560 that right or harbor center it's your wavelength 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:10.160 okay five gigs of internet five and a half 00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:14.560 six six with overhead sure 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:18.160 so all that's left now is to run a speed test 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:23.040 but we have a slight problem we're going to press go and we're going to discover 00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:29.920 that speed test relies on the server at the other end 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:34.880 having the amount of bandwidth that you are testing for 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.360 so we just maxed out 00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:41.920 someone's gigabit server somewhere because the reality of it is 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:46.320 if anyone had a multi-thousand dollar a month internet connection a 10 gig 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:49.760 connection they'd be using it for something it's not just sitting there 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:54.959 waiting for me to speed test i mean apparently it's got more down than it 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:56.560 does up which is fascinating but uh poor 00:14:54.959 --> 00:15:01.199 urban fibers like what are you guys doing to me right now 00:14:58.560 --> 00:15:06.000 so now what how do we test this thing what even do danny 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:09.040 multiple sources i mean you know what 00:15:09.680 --> 00:15:14.959 oh a torrent a torrent could work well i wouldn't 00:15:12.959 --> 00:15:19.120 know anything about torrenting danny you know what 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:24.000 i'm gonna call two and a half gig up okay for now and i'm just gonna do like 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:28.399 a fun test okay because technically google is in harbor center right so why 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:32.959 don't we upload something so slight correction google is peered there but 00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:38.839 either way we should be looking at some pretty serious speeds here 2.6 gigs 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:42.480 let's upload it to youtube week week youtube you're weak all right we're 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:47.839 gonna have to find something else like what can we what can we like 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.839 hit with this 00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:54.079 iperf test yeah i need that running on the thing 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:58.000 remotely so basically there's nothing that we can do to test this 00:15:56.160 --> 00:16:01.519 other than hand this connection over to the Floatplane guys 00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:05.360 and give them a server here in our server room and then do like 00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:10.399 a live stream or something so maybe that's something that we'll do in the near future and see how hard we can hit 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:15.040 this thing in the meantime though massive thanks to danny and the itel 00:16:12.959 --> 00:16:19.440 folks chad coming out here and helping us hook this up massive thanks for the 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:23.279 discount i guess it wasn't that substantial still very expensive but 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:27.839 they claim they're not making any money on it so you know 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:31.920 you know it's the word of an isp so they're pretty nice guys but 00:16:29.839 --> 00:16:36.320 yeah i don't know and a massive shout out to our sponsor
