WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.480
i like to think we take a very professional approach to our network

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:12.000
infrastructure around here are you joking which is to say that i

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.880
really hope that nobody in there or up there or around there really really

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:23.600
needs internet because Jake and i are about to yolo zero preparation make and

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:29.119
install a brand new router that should be able to help us take full advantage

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:33.040
of a greater than 10 gigabit internet connection that we're going to be

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.520
upgrading to down the road what are we i thought we were no oh

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.680
we didn't have 10 gig before you lied to everyone did i yeah well we had 10 gig

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:47.760
well now we have 10 gig everywhere neat and we also have this sponsor

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:11.280
are we just getting right into this i think so because i don't know anything

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.360
about it i didn't even know that we were getting a new router until i walked down

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:18.560
to logistics and i was like oh what's this box from supermicro and they were

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:22.240
like oh that's the new router and i'm sitting here going well hold on a second

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:26.880
since when does super micro make routers and then you were like since like a long

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:31.680
time ago our existing router is a super micro box actually i didn't know that

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.640
yeah this is basically the same box just

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:37.040
the more strong

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.360
okay but do we even need a faster more strong router

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.799
um questionable but ours is like sky lake

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.439
it's like kind of old now holy crap is

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.880
it mine i know it's old man man how much power does that thing draw probably a

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.119
good amount i mean this one i don't think is going to draw nothing that's

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:58.799
your benchmark what the hell this thing has how many power supplies in it um i'm

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.759
pretty sure these are 800 watt power supply shut up

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.200
yes 800 watt max 800 watt power supplies

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:12.160
what the hell are you planning to do with this thing

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.520
go go fast ah man i'm so excited to kill everyone's

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:19.520
internet shortly hey we're not going to kill their internet are we going to kill everyone

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:23.360
no their internet oh to kill their internet no no no no we got this oh our

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.720
current router okay which is

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.879
oh where the hell is it yeah that's right it's mounted at the back oh god

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.319
good luck i might end up just selfie filming this on my phone brandon

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.040
not gonna lie i don't think you're gonna use why is there a CPU pillow in there i

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:43.440
was sitting there from lttstore.com i was it was not planted i was actually

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:47.200
sitting back there you gonna selfie cam it yeah i'm gonna selfie canvas all

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.879
right okay yo what's up all right we're going back into the depths of the server

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.280
room ah the cable management back here used

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.519
to be better back when i did it what do you think and then a lot worse when i

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:04.239
did it we actually used both sides of our rack and the reason for that is that

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.959
we used to have so much storage in the front just so many storage servers that

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:13.599
there wasn't enough room to have all of our switching in the front so we moved

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:17.680
all of it to the back it's only patch panels in the front

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:22.959
so here's all of our switches both PoE and otherwise for our fiber stations as

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:28.480
well yeah there we go as well as our rj45 stations and then if we go a little

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:33.280
bit uh yes right in the middle of all of it hiding in there we've got our super

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:37.680
micro pf sense box the power for this thing i think

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:39.760
actually comes out the front oh no it

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:45.040
doesn't oh crap i gotta take the side off the cabinet

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:49.840
bloody hell nothing is ever easy ah yes there it is you can see it's

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:54.480
really shallow compared to even to our network switches and that was by design

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:58.480
because we knew we were gonna have other things in the front of the rack and they

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:03.920
could interfere with it if it was really long i just need to oh my god

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:10.000
seriously we should move it hey it is way

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.080
at the back we're even

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:19.199
would it be easier to go power cable is at the very other end i can't even point

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:23.759
at it let alone get my ARM in there i have an idea

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:26.840
you have an idea you say we could

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:31.120
we could climb the server rack

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:32.880
yes i like it good idea Jake okay well

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.000
he's doing it i was gonna say we could move one of the patch panels in the

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:39.040
front and then just get at it from the front

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:44.240
no i got this he's got it oh that's a pro oh my god

00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:49.600
it's so hot in here uh no it does not have a redundant power

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:53.280
supply that one doesn't it does not so i will be cutting out internet do you

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.560
think it'll be like a while internet for a while it'll take a couple minutes a

00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:02.080
couple minutes do you think they need internet though i think it's this one so

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.320
we're gonna find out real quick styles here

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.080
i have no idea what i just unplugged

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:16.479
everything here is still powered that's not it dude

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:20.240
what is going on here what the heck what just happened what did you just unplug

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.560
lights are out it's this one whatever this one is oh wait what what are you

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:27.759
pulling on oh i see it i see it okay it's out okay where's my thing real

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:31.199
quick oh my god where's the where's the thing

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:36.960
i don't tell her holy sh well i'm so sorry entire company

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:41.039
of people that are trying to work this is the most expensive

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:44.160
power test we've ever done so we got our little power meter thing

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:49.039
we want to know how much more efficient the new one is so we got to test the old one it might not be more efficient what

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:54.240
what do you mean it might not be more efficient i thought that's the whole it's technically a higher TDP CPU what

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:58.160
are you talking well why do we even need it then well because why not

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:02.720
it's got 25 gigs so if we did upgrade down the road ah

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:06.720
and our old one is so old it's like five years old now okay how do we turn it on

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:09.919
now did you actually break it i don't know it's not turning on here

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.440
plug it back into normal power for a second let's just take a gander okay

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:19.520
hold on here this is so not why are we even doing this right now because i want to know the power consumption savings

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:23.680
okay yeah that works so what's is this thing not working it

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:28.960
doesn't have a screen light up okay go get the basic one oh my god get the

00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:31.120
basic one boop i'm not so sorry entire

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:35.120
time here catch

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:38.000
catch oh gosh all right let's go back and start working on the new server for

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:42.319
the time being then we can come back and check the power consumption after this was supposed to be a very short side

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:46.960
quest okay i got the old server pulled up here i think it's this one right here nice it

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:52.080
might not be the exact one because this is silver but it's the same spec zeon d

00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:55.919
21 46 here look this up on arc one of the cool things about the xeon d-class

00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:00.800
processors that was one of the reasons that we ultimately went with a pf sense

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:05.440
box rather than a purpose-built router was that these zeon d chips had this

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:10.240
like encryption all right i can't look it up oh my god this is

00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:14.560
why can't you look it up Linus well the site can't be reached so it could be

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:19.039
that Intel arc is down yeah that's the problem what's the other

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:25.599
options uh well it could be that your wi-fi install is not working correctly

00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:30.080
anything else really bad luck yeah anyway they have hardware

00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:35.360
accelerated encryption and what i had thought at the time was that this would

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:37.759
allow for a very fast remote access when

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:42.160
i'm off site to dump footage or do whatever else but unfortunately whether

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:46.080
it's an open vpn software limitation it's probably an open vpn thing probably

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.680
an openvpn thing we were never really able to take advantage of that but we do

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.199
have a new solution to that which doesn't require this which raises the

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:58.000
question zero tier why exactly are we using a pf sense box

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:02.479
anymore anyway rather than a purpose-built router um

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.919
because pss is great actually what we should use if we were

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:10.400
going like crazy high speed say we had 100 gigabit internet we might actually

00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:13.759
have to use a switch that has routing capabilities built in because when you

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:18.639
get to that level of performance like pf sense you can't even think about doing

00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:24.240
that speed right and the reason for that is that pfsense uses a general purpose

00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:25.680
x86 CPU just like any other server from

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:29.680
super micro would in fact there's no reason that we couldn't use this particular

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:34.240
server as a virtualization server or as a storage

00:08:32.479 --> 00:08:38.880
server it would just kind of suck in those roles it's not really designed for

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:42.800
it whereas a high-end router from the likes of someone like a cisco is

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:47.680
actually using an asic that is specifically designed for network

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:51.680
switching yeah the other thing is you can use a server that has no business

00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:56.000
being a router or computer that has no business being a router with pf pfcents

00:08:53.519 --> 00:09:00.399
in fact for our lan party we used a dual 32 core AMD epic box to run pfsense

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:04.720
because that's what i had lying around pfsense is based on freebsd which means

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:09.920
that the hardware compatibility is actually excellent both with modern

00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:14.560
components and even very old components so turning your old computer into a file

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:18.800
server and then your old old ancient computer into a pfsense router is

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:22.560
totally viable as long as power isn't super expensive where you're from

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.160
did they completely pre-build this forest do you even have any work to do

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:29.680
well what is this RAM here i feel like we should upgrade the RAM i mean we

00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:35.040
don't what is this RAM here those are like some ddr one apps looking like this

00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:37.200
no it's a 64 gig 3200 that's a nice

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:42.640
stick of RAM right there oh oh i thought these were individual long RAM packages

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:47.040
no so i just didn't even recognize it at all that's a 64 gig dim right there

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:51.120
brother we're working on it Dan well Jake unplugged the thing

00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:55.200
oh i'm sorry thank you you should have i didn't unplug anything

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:59.839
what are we gonna call this thing new pf sense sure yeah

00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:02.800
new pf sense i'm gonna call it pf sets two we do have a small problem though

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:08.720
before we can build it i have to sign out this memory and they need internet

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:14.800
is it is it working send them a photo backup nice eight gigs 3200 i checked

00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:21.120
our current router presently has 32 gigs only

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:21.120
d2796nt it's 121 TDP

00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:31.399
let's see did we get a lot more course for that yeah i think so i think it's a

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:31.399
12 core it's a 20 core oh

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:37.519
is this right now we're going from eight to 20 cores i

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:44.160
also want to put an optane SSD in here what do you mean there are there's a 660p in there already yeah i want to go

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:46.720
up five 12 gigs 660p i want octane

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:50.480
i would actually like to put two drives now this is interesting if you take off

00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:55.839
the cooler you can see this is one of Intel's bga style xeon cpus so these are

00:10:53.680 --> 00:11:00.480
not intended to be inserted into a socket they're intended to be soldered

00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:05.040
directly to the motherboard for use in appliances that are not really intended

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:10.000
to be upgraded like say for example routers like this one okay to be clear

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:14.720
pitch me the reason i asked for this yeah because i still can't understand

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.240
that we were gonna go maybe 20 gig and i

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:20.240
was like yo we're gonna need a bigger router because

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:25.600
the other one's only 10 gig this guy has dual 25 gig on it which is pretty cool

00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:30.959
obviously that's not the case anymore yeah it was really expensive so i i ki

00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:35.839
washed it so we did upgrade we went from 5.5 gig wan to 10 gig full so we

00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:40.959
actually get proper 10 gig now which is nice too everything i should explain i

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:42.640
wasn't lying okay we had 5.5 gig to the

00:11:40.959 --> 00:11:46.399
internet in general and then the additional four and a half gig we did

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:50.399
have a 10 gig link was to vanix the vancouver internet exchange which

00:11:48.560 --> 00:11:54.320
probably is where the bulk of our traffic is coming through anyway you

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.079
download anything on steam you download a Windows update

00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.279
oh i'm pretty damn sure there's not that many things connected to it like if you

00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:04.480
look at the vancouver internet exchange like total traffic

00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:07.440
they're total traffic peaks at like 80 gigabytes connected through vanex it's

00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:11.279
small amazon okay i know google's through

00:12:09.760 --> 00:12:15.839
there participate doesn't necessarily mean that all the traffic is going through cloud fires there i don't think

00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:19.279
it was actually that misleading to say that we had a 10 gig internet connection

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:24.240
wow that's a big chip that's like lga 1700 well dga 1700 yeah i know it's wild

00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:29.360
to me that it's just soldered directly to the board it is

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:34.240
fcbga2579 but the thing is i'm not even mad about it because this is not the

00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:39.040
kind of device that would ever get a CPU upgrade within the reasonable service

00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:43.519
life of it you deploy this you freaking forget about it it fails you rip it out

00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:47.120
you put in another one that's just how these customers work yeah are you sure

00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:50.639
you don't want to put another drive in here i would kind of like to do

00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.399
redundant drives i'm kind of surprised there isn't two m.2s in here i want to

00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:58.000
put optane in it i think there's a 119 right there no i don't want to use the

00:12:55.839 --> 00:13:01.200
118. 64. what do you need storage for in a router well if we do like statistics

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:07.040
or something how much you're going to need look brother 64 games have been sitting here

00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:07.040
for four sticks

00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:22.160
let's go look at what our current box is using if it's like less than 30 gigs we

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:27.839
can use those the okay the drive on there right now is 26 gigs formatted so

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.000
a 64 is he's double it's double he wins

00:13:27.839 --> 00:13:35.279
all right shout out silverstone by the way if there's some random and

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.600
you need it silverstone probably makes it

00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:41.360
so we got redundant discs we got redundant power supplies now that's a

00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:46.079
big upgrade and we saw why that's so important you never know when some rogue

00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:52.880
is gonna sneak into your server room and unplug your shiz

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:55.760
i have no idea what i just unplugged

00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:59.920
yeah you never know you never know the reason that i wanted to use these is

00:13:57.839 --> 00:14:04.800
actually because they're very very unlikely to fail in this application

00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:09.920
compared to nand flash which wears out quickly as you write to it and erase it

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:13.760
and then rewrite to it optane is more dram like in that you can write to it

00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:18.399
many many more times before you are likely to experience a failure

00:14:15.760 --> 00:14:21.680
so yes they're super low capacity they're not great performance these

00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:26.560
particular drives i think only link at PCIe gen 3x2 but we don't need the

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:29.680
performance i just want the resiliency to know that if we never upgrade this

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:35.040
thing again which we probably wouldn't need to 20 cores and a router

00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:39.120
this will still be running 10 years 15 years from now we've upgraded to quad

00:14:36.959 --> 00:14:44.160
channel memory we've upgraded to dual drives dual redundant drives we have put

00:14:41.760 --> 00:14:50.480
on thermal grizzly thermal compound and we are ready to close it up

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:53.040
now this is not a 25 gig fiber module oh

00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:58.000
it should negotiate no problem this takes these 25 gig capable sfp plus

00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:02.959
ports and plug that in there and it converts them to whatever we want so in

00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:05.519
our case it's 10 gig rj45 but we could

00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:10.079
also go to fiber add up to 25 gig if we wanted to run to well somewhere

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:14.000
fiber 250 oh and just trunk them yeah yeah but how

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:17.199
would you get it out of there yeah well you could remove one of our redundant

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:22.000
drives and then put a really fast network card in there i set zfs to a mirror and

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:27.440
selected both of the disks and it's installing now one of these needed large i bet there's

00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:31.760
something new uh well that's for later Jake to figure out

00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:35.760
yeah screw that guy i'm gonna go check the power consumption

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:41.199
of our current box oh man we're so close

00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:43.600
so close to nice power consumption man

00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:49.440
we're gonna save like nothing it's only 68 watts

00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:51.920
two 10 gig 225 gig wow that's awesome

00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:54.320
yeah i think our current one is 210 sfps and then

00:15:53.199 --> 00:16:00.079
ten rj45s truthfully there's not really much

00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:04.079
of a benefit to that unless we had multiple

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:07.519
wan connections um because realistically you would just set up your switch with

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:10.240
vlans if you wanted to have separate

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.560
you know isolated networks behind your router which we do

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:19.040
but hey it's there yeah you know yeah hey

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:22.320
right the default is going to be a weird ip do you have a

00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:25.440
well look we're in the right spot right now um

00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:29.680
this thing it's kids today right they don't finish sentences

00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:34.160
correct oh my god it's micro usb jesus christ

00:16:32.880 --> 00:16:39.120
well you have a two and a half gig one yeah isn't that cool oh whoa it's just a

00:16:36.079 --> 00:16:42.240
module yeah oh but it's thick well yeah

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:45.120
wow that is cute oh what took you so

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:50.680
long Jake geez some of us just find patch cables so

00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:50.680
much faster than other people

00:16:50.880 --> 00:16:56.560
it's in very nice now we could configure

00:16:54.800 --> 00:17:00.320
all of this from scratch but that would be

00:16:57.839 --> 00:17:04.319
really stupid because a it would take a long time and b the odds of making a

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:08.079
mistake when you're configuring your router especially when you have a setup

00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:12.079
that's as complex as ours is very high and i'm not saying that our

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:17.280
setup is like exterior complex but it's complex enough

00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:20.880
that you can make a mistake there are a few things that we're going to have to

00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:24.880
change even once we restore from our old configuration and that's the identity of

00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:27.439
our network interfaces because they're going to have names like

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:33.039
i x no zero yeah they'll be like ixl one

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:35.679
they might even line up honestly the only thing that won't line up is

00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:39.600
probably the 25 gig but i'm just gonna

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:43.919
they'll line up look enough it's fine interface mismatch detected please

00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:47.200
resolve the mismatch oh that's so cool wow just as part of the import process

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:52.320
yeah wow is there a 25 gig one not showing i mean

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:58.559
we could just use 10 gig for now what do we care let's just use the 10 gig ports

00:17:55.840 --> 00:18:01.440
they're fiber we need to media convert i do have a way we could do this though

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:06.000
um what we can do very smart hack is we can

00:18:03.919 --> 00:18:10.320
take our sfp module put it in one of the switches that has

00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:13.760
an sfp port in its own vlan like an untagged vlan

00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:17.520
and then you just put it back into here rj45 and it just passes the traffic over

00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:21.840
it it's not stupid they do it actually all the time

00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:26.400
okay something we didn't quite explain properly before the reason this matters

00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:30.720
is that our incoming internet connection is fiber so we wouldn't even be using an

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:34.799
rg45 converter we would going to be going straight into these ports and

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:38.480
pfsense at least in its current iteration doesn't appear to have drivers

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:42.080
for it so this is our wind this is our lan uh we'll have to like patch the sfp

00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:46.400
through the switch like i said before but i already set up the vlan so we're like theoretically we just plop this in

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:51.440
and we're good to go i mean all the vlans are broken but those are for non-essential stuff i can fix that later

00:18:49.760 --> 00:18:57.600
yeah i couldn't help noticing that it's not super accessible yeah some idiot put

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:59.840
it not at the top i didn't have a choice

00:18:57.600 --> 00:19:03.840
okay but to be fair this one's not on rail so

00:19:01.520 --> 00:19:06.640
it's not no we could pull it out

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.880
move these two down put it at the top there it goes oh you

00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:15.840
did it i pressed the power button okay well here so let's

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:18.240
we have to be very oh god damn it and

00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:21.440
now it's unplugged well good um cool sorry everyone hope you didn't need

00:19:19.760 --> 00:19:28.000
internet i'm gonna do this very carefully as if this gets damaged then we're

00:19:25.520 --> 00:19:31.440
so the vlan is set in that port cool it lit up it's compatible that's

00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:35.360
very good sign all right i moved our fiber which was

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:40.000
plugged in here on our old router over to this switch

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:44.640
and these two ports are configured as an untagged vlan so it's just going to act

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:49.520
as basically a media converter to convert this fiber into an rj45 that we

00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:52.559
can plug into the new router okay so this boy needs to come out now just

00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:58.480
comes out and then i'm thinking we move these down and put it at the top no i don't know we

00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:02.799
should because this is just loose and then this one just needs to be

00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:07.200
unbolted and it'll just fall oh my god it's worth it it's worth it oh god be

00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:11.440
careful with the fiber eh yeah yeah that's actually just uh it's

00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:13.520
fine just

00:20:13.520 --> 00:20:19.600
we break that we have no internet uh actually i can totally just patch it

00:20:17.600 --> 00:20:24.400
it's fine okay holy that's been in that spot for

00:20:21.760 --> 00:20:30.960
like five years cool four years the warm boy okay really yes yes yes yes yes oh

00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:34.320
my god i'm never gonna no they're not they don't have

00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:38.159
internet well yeah but i mean they're like on yeah but that's just the Wi-Fi

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:42.400
one oh boy there's two sitting on top of this well yeah it's pretty saggy i got

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.679
my hand in there now okay sorry brandon yeah

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:49.840
hope you weren't trying to film or anything ow

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.840
okay just go just go just keep going i'm going i'm going i'm going it only kind

00:20:51.760 --> 00:20:58.960
of hurts ah that was actually not that bad oh thank god

00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.720
now the pf sense can just go on top oh i'm so happy

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:06.080
so much better i've been wanting to do this for like

00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:09.280
literally six years you're doing great brandon thanks oh we got to do the

00:21:07.919 --> 00:21:14.640
redundant power ah problem for later just a second yeah

00:21:12.320 --> 00:21:18.640
later Jake can deal with that okay screw that

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:22.799
okay wow this one's quite a lot deeper than the old one yeah it's sick oh god

00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:27.120
oh my god be careful don't hit the sprinkler well i don't want to yeah what

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:31.600
am i guiding again absolute cast from the back you got to make sure it doesn't

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:35.120
run over any cables like the fiber yeah i see the fiber the fiber is good it's

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:39.679
sticking in the hole yeah i'm working hard and fast it's stuck uh keep going

00:21:37.679 --> 00:21:42.640
you're fine it's stuck oh you're good keep going i'm pushing on it and it's

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:47.440
not ah what was that ah it's just the fans

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.440
there we go

00:21:47.919 --> 00:21:53.280
okay we need a patch cable okay let's go see if it's working

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:57.679
what are the odds wait we haven't plugged in the management port yet well

00:21:55.280 --> 00:22:00.799
that is providing our dhcp so the management doesn't exactly work when the

00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:06.159
dhcp is off i got it i just have to reboot that

00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:09.520
ubiquity switch again for wi-fi yeah

00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:14.640
oh i'm up holy crap gotta love pf sounds am i

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:17.320
right just like that wikipedia black death flag

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:22.400
right there lttstore.com early reviews of the

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:27.679
backpack are in and it's flipping awesome good quality bag it finally

00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:31.520
happened what happened we did a network infrastructure thing

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:34.720
that actually only had the scheduled amount of downtime well except when you

00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:39.520
unplugged it just check the plan yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah minor details Jake

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.880
minor details we took a config imported

00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:45.440
it and it just worked we're just ignoring all those you're not

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:50.000
going to do a victory lab we're ignoring all the vlans that aren't on right now

00:22:47.919 --> 00:22:53.520
that's later Jake's problem yeah screw that guy

00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:56.960
oh okay so you're gonna run fast.com and i'm going to run this one honestly it's

00:22:55.360 --> 00:23:01.840
you can't take this stuff seriously because basically we're going to be limited by

00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:05.039
the speed of the host of the speed test well they used to be they use multiple

00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:09.520
servers now it's pretty fast actually yeah

00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:13.280
okay i'm running okay i'm now running too

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.960
yeah it said we got to 5.6

00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:17.679
Gigabyte okay and that's exactly what we're rated for to the internet at large

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:23.039
then isn't it yeah well theoretically they told me it has been upgraded now but i can't seem

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:27.000
to get anything faster than 5.5 gig i think there's a little tweaking that

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:33.919
needs to be done well so we got up to 5.6 gigabit yep how's our CPU usage RAM

00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:40.400
usage zero percent CPU four percent RAM we're we're using 700

00:23:37.760 --> 00:23:43.600
megs of storage did we just build the most overkill router

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:50.240
well they're kind of hot actually 56 degrees it's been a few days and we've

00:23:48.159 --> 00:23:54.400
had the opportunity to do a bit more research into the issues we were having

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:59.919
with our Intel 25 gigabit nick in pfsense it turns out that while the nick

00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:04.559
in question and Intel e823c wasn't released yesterday driver's fur

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:09.200
were only added to freebsd the operating system that pfsense is based on back in

00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:14.240
march of this year Linux has had support since early 2020.

00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:19.679
unfortunately the current release of pfsense that's version 2.6 and the

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:24.559
upcoming 2.7 are still running freebsd 12.3 which does not include the new

00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:28.480
drivers that left us with a couple of options either we continue using a

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:33.440
network switch to convert the incoming sfp fiber signal into an rj45 Ethernet

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:38.240
connection that pfsensk actually has drivers for we install a compatible nic

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:42.159
like a melanox connectx series or we find a different operating system this

00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:46.720
is where opensense came into play it's a fork of pfsense that's also based on

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:50.480
freebsd but the open source team at open sense is typically a lot faster when it

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:54.880
comes to updates meaning the latest version of it does include drivers for

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:58.080
our 25 gig nick now the process of converting over was

00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:02.240
fairly easy since many of the configuration options and a lot of the

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.159
user interface is very familiar i mean it is a fork after all we went ahead and

00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:10.000
reinstalled the old router running pfsense in the meantime and then

00:25:07.919 --> 00:25:14.000
manually copied over the configuration now the hardest part would have been

00:25:11.600 --> 00:25:17.760
manually copying our 100 plus static dhcp reservations but i found a cool

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:21.520
script on github that can automatically convert from pfsense to opensense or

00:25:19.919 --> 00:25:25.360
even the other way around performance was as you'd expect

00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:29.039
basically the same but it does have a few aces up its sleeve compared to

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:32.720
psense including faster updates like i mentioned before an arguably more

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.720
user-friendly interface and there's a lot more available plug-ins for adding

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:40.720
in additional functionality now it's not to say that psense is bad we've been

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:43.919
using it for years with pretty much no issues and there's still a larger

00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:48.000
community behind it so if you need support or tutorials you may be better

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:51.600
off sticking with pfsense but in the last few weeks since we've switched to

00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:54.480
opensense it's been nothing but great so i wouldn't hesitate to check it out if

the third fourth or fifth yeah i don't know it was the one where i kept uh

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:23.279
tightening the thing and it turns out it wasn't quite compatible with the bracket

00:27:21.679 --> 00:27:27.200
thing and so it would over tighten and like break the traces in the board it

00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:31.840
