I'm curious as to how they'll deal with depletion of their 256 bit UUIDs and/or spoofing or anything else. We can know is that Google (and others) will have a way that works across IP addresses that will provide a fairly unique way of identifying you no matter what. Presumably some browsers will let you change it or have it different in privacy mode or whatever, but like with Don't Track we'll can almost guarentee that even if there is a standard some other company like Microsoft will implement it just differently enough to make a lot of it pointless... other than the connection speed I guess. People are already gungho about this, some thinking that it's a total replacement for the TCP stack which is utterly stupid. I first read about this in mid 2017 and noticed it seemed to be sort of a spin on MinimaLT which was specified to deal with mobile IP (as in protocol, not address) issues.

@Mike-Davis said in daisy chain Ubiquiti AC Pros?: @DustinB3403 said in daisy chain Ubiquiti AC Pros?: This is why you don't use pre-made cables. What does it cost to have fiber terminated? $150/hr? Since this is in the mountains, I'm guessing the nearest city is 1.5 hours away, so drive time on top of that. I'm just guessing at the labor since I haven't ever had it quoted. Right, so if oyu are confident that premade will pull in quantiy, then by all means go with it. The good thing about fiber, is that it doesn't matter if you coil up the left over.

@Donahue said in Why I See UTMs As Generally Bad in the Current Market: @scottalanmiller said in Why I See UTMs As Generally Bad in the Current Market: @Donahue said in Why I See UTMs As Generally Bad in the Current Market: The reason we went with Fortigate over an Edge router, is that the Edge router couldn't do the IPsec bandwidth we were trying to hit. But mine is an NGFW with UTM bundled in. Could there been some other product that I dont know of that would have been better in our case? ERL does nearly half of what you need... https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeRouter/ERL-Performance-Testing-with-IPSec-VPN/m-p/1053799#M44593 ER and ERPro are so much more powerful. The ER Pro has 2x the CPU power, and 4x the RAM. We'd expect it to be able to saturate your lines no problem. Of course that is "expect", but based on the ERL speeds, and that they run the same code, there is little doubt that it can push IPSec over 1Gig speeds. https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/edgemax/EdgeRouter_DS.pdf Your link is what convinced me not to use the ER pro. the Pro's will only do <500 mbps at full capacity, its in the link you posted. Where in it? Oh, I see. he mentions ER Pro in another post, then posts them without stating what they are in a thread on ERLs. VERY confusing.

Something to keep in mind is NGFW. Ubiquiti and Meraki, for example, are NGFW. It looks like much of the market is already starting to cool on the UTM crazy and NGFW is taking off as the "next stage" of popular approaches. Basically a reversal of direction or marketing at least, even from the big players in the UTM space like Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco, etc.

Only so serious, it's in D-Link gear. Bwahaha

@jaredbusch said in Ubiquiti ER3 to ER4 Upgrade?: @scottalanmiller said in Ubiquiti ER3 to ER4 Upgrade?: @mroth911 said in ubiquiti Er3 to 4 Upgrade?: Can I just back up my er3 and upload it to the 4 I believe so. I have never tried, but it should handle it because it only bring the /config folder in, and nothing in the hardware of the 3 vs 4 is all that different. To clarify, I have migrated from ERL to ER4 a couple times. But I manually migrate. I don’t try to restore the old config.

No, because I carefully never do that, lol. I didnt do this, this is from someone saying " This is how I think it goes" and changing settings. Also something to avoid Random people who don't know the basics, making completely crazy configuration changes... that's a disaster waiting to happen. Imagine if they were doing that on a PCI network or something They did! we use 2 NICs, one for internet, one for the PoS system so they are "seperated" the best they can be. They stacked and added IP's to the PoS NIC, So all of the PoS were accessing the internet... Sure, but the internal POS network doesn't have a gateway to some place else inside it, right? So you don't have a gateway on that network interface. I dont believe there is a gateway, its just communicating within the PoS and the back office. If that were the case then I shouldn't be getting this message correct? Shouldn't. The warning seems like it would be genuine - it's warning you that someone messed up the configuration. When I used to have these type of setups, I would set the gateway to the POS and set the metric to 10 for either that NIC or that subnet. That's assuming that you're talking directly to the one and only POS and nothing else on that network. While you don't have to alter the metric, it helped stop Windows from wigging out seeing two NICs or two IPs and two gateways on one NIC. If you experiment, you can always put it back. Different VASCs and different brands & processors specify what's ok with them. Because PCI.

@wrcombs said in Site Moved a PC=A MESS: @scottalanmiller said in Site Moved a PC=A MESS: @wrcombs said in Site Moved a PC=A MESS: My boss was pushing the compliance issues, Yes, Because it is his job to make sure compliance is met within every site. You're telling me, If im not mistaken, That following directions coming from the vendor is my boss being Dumb? or Being an Ass? Straight from PCI Data Security Standard: Build and Maintain a Secure Network: 1. Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data. 2. Do no use Vendor- supplied Defaults for system passwords and other security parameters . I guess reading this more thoroughly so I could continue this conversation: no where does it say It has to be a separate or isolated network, Only that It needs to be behind a firewall as far as Networking is concerned. Correct, I'm telling you, straight up, that if your boss claims that those words in ANY WAY suggest you can't use a VLAN, he's either insanely stupid, or a ridiculous liar who thinks you easy to push around. There is NOTHING about a separate network there. Not one thing. I understand that now, at first I was a little confused, but now having seen and looked into everything more based off of what you are telling me , I find that everything you are saying makes perfect sense Not that it means you can do something about it. But knowing that the boss is most likely just trying to blow you off, or just trying to make things complicated for some personal reason at the expense of the company makes it far better to be able to at least learn from the scenario. Your quality take aways here include... Your boss is not to be trusted (why, we don't know, but a reliable source, he is not.) Look for another job (you know this, but it's a reminder.) You now know PCI far better than before (and better than your boss.) You now have more experience in evaluating someone giving excuses rather than actual logic.

Having to bring in a local tech or get a swing machine are actually much more intensive than looking at it remotely for a while. But seems doubtful that it will take weeks. Only has had a few minutes of being looked at, and only today. Oh, didn't realize it was like that. No local IT, no other available infrastructure or anything kind of limits things a lot. Yeah, a LOT. If we were local and it was one of two (or more) machines, yeah, we'd happily reinstall. As it is, we are scared of the backup device failing. Which isn't terrible as it is ONLY a backup device. But taking the server offline... we are pretty dependent on it.

@scottalanmiller said in Multiple switches - connection: @ccwtech said in Multiple switches - connection: For connecting multiple switches (3 in this case), if your router has Gigabit LAN, is it best to to have a cord from 3 different ports on the router to each switch or to have the router go into 1 switch and then daisy chain the switches... or... does it really matter? Neither. Router to Switch at the hub, then spoke other switches. Correct. that is what I said, in a slightly more technical way.

@jaredbusch Oh no way lol, thats great!

@krisleslie :{../name}: Got ya

I've always used WiFi Analyizer on a phone/tablet if I needed to survey a location. That said, a thread on linuxquestions.com led me to: https://alternativeto.net/software/inssider/?platform=linux#. Looks like some options at least, don't really know if they're decent.

Duplicate IP or bad switch or local port... possibly driver.

@jimmy_k said in Urgent: How to fix this FreePBX Repo Access Issue?: @jimmy_k Well, I just fixed it I modified etc/resolv.conf by putting this nameserver same as DNS1 nameserver same as DNS2 That's what that script is supposed to do. If you did this, it means either you never activated the script or it is broken and will stop working again.

@dbeato said in Dell Machines Unable to VPN Due to SmartByte Bloatware: @scottalanmiller said in Dell Machines Unable to VPN Due to SmartByte Bloatware: SmartByte, a bit of bloatware or possibly malware - certainly closer to malware than not, is shipping by default on some Dell laptops and desktops. If you are doing a clean OS install as is best practice, this bloatware will be unknown to you. But if you keep the random stuff that ships with your machine, you may run into networking problems. SmartByte has been found by Cisco (and us, now that we know about it with clients) to break network connections and specifically has been found to cause VPNs to fail to connect. You'll need to disable, or better remove, or best do a proper, clean OS install, to get your machine able to network reliably. None of my Dell Devices has ever come with this. Not even laptops bought through Amazon. In the past Dell and HP have had the Cisco AnnyConnect client but that is found more on home and retailers like Best Buy, Staples or such. Then again I don’t buy Dell Inspiron (Which are the ones with SmartByte for sure) I never run into it because I would never run a machine without doing a proper OS install, you never know what is on there. But we ran into this (and I've been ranting about how people got into the process of not doing a clean install - dealing with that separately) just now because someone had a machine that didn't get installed and, of course, terrible bloatware problems.

Glad that you figured it out.

QuickBooks has problems enough of its own without involving two operating systems. Two? Looks like the database only goes on one. No additional complexity. But solves some major licensing costs. Windows Server + CALs just for QB is pretty expensive.

Leave the individual adapters alone, and just set the Team Asked that before, he's configuring the team, not the NICs Before it's a team you can mess with the NIC settings, and it effects the Team afterwards (in my experience). Should not happen because Windows will unbind all IP protocols (v4 and v6) from each member NIC. At least in theory. Don't ya just love theory??? I'm more on the practical side.

You can set up these private networks and connect them through a VXLAN with ovs. That way you can have something like a separate dev network on the same hosts and they can communicate between hosts. Not available in the epel repo? That is apparently the case unless my google--fu isn't up to snuff Nope. It is available in Fedora though. If you want to install it you have to manually build the RPMs. While not hard to build it would be a pain to maintain updates. OVS is used by oVirt so maybe the centos ovirt repo has it (or the ovirt stable repo) I'm assuming it's just building the RPM since it's not in the normal repo. http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.2/

@dashrender said in Ubiquity er3 ,switch and WiFi: No, his issue is that he bought an Air Router, not an AP. So anything connecting to his WiFi was behind a second NAT router. He's sending that back and buying a UAP-AC Lite. Oh, okay, now I follow.

@tim_g said in Hyper-V Network card setup?: @dave247 said in Hyper-V Network card setup?: Thanks. And this isn't for testing. I actually want to use this server for some production servers. Sorry, didn't know. I mistakenly assumed testing and lab because of the time frame. But you can't go wrong with doing it that way. If you have no need for an extra NIC you could do a 3-NIC team. If you are fine with no management NIC, do a 4-port team and share it with your management OS if for some reason you need that many NICs in a team. Though you probably don't. Yeah well it is for some low-risk servers, so, kinda almost testing, but not really, if that makes sense. lol
