As mentioned earlier, I would be interested, but would like to know more about the lab now that you have all in place, on what do we get to play with

First you would create users and SSH keys and then deploy them to the other boxes that you wish to connect to. This is the core of what makes the Jump Box a Jump Box. This is standard SSH key setup, nothing unique to a Jump Box.

Did you ever make a good write up on creating users and SSH keys? If so, I cannot find it.

I mean, I know how to make and use keys in general. But detail here would be good.

Write up for creating the users on the jump box and getting their SSH keys. Write up for pushing users and keys to other systems that said jump box will be allowing access. Write up for control of said access. Bob and Jill have access to Jump Box. Bob has Access to servers 1 & 2. Jill has access to server 2 & 3.

I know that @scottalanmiller has mentioned in another thread that he has a script to push this all out (question 2). I can only assume that the script has some controls to tell you which server so shove the key and user logon to (question 3).

I thought that screen looked familiar, lol.

@scottalanmiller thank you, I had hopes maybe some got thrown in.

On another note, I might have a couple nice shape dell t610's getting decommisioned for purchase. (Not sure just throwing it out there.)

List of specs would be nice. 8-)

I'll see if @Minion-Queen or @art_of_shred can get us an updated list.

Cool, who drew the short straw and has to configure it? 😛
Is it an unnamed minion?

@art_of_shred is plugging it in. I'm configuring.

@MrCRuss said in Drobo B800i startup issues:

Had this just happen now. Where you able to save the data by moving the drives over to a new unit?

Another Drobo unit, yes.

Ok, good to know.

All Interns are off for the weekend, well mostly cause the hands on intern is gone for the weekend. Being tech support for friends.

There is a very high possibility that the IP it was operating on was the iDRAC's IP. I wonder if the iDRAC console somehow became the active connection.

That's an interesting thought. Not sure how that could have happened but since the IPs overlapped.... hmmm...

Never followed up on this, whoops. We ended up using VyOS for a few years. But the hardware died on us and was too complex to service. It made no sense as it was cheaper to replace with new Ubiquiti hardware than it was to maintain what we already had. So we ended up going with a UBNT ERL and it has been great.

Out of curiosity, is it the one running the NTG lab?

I'm just assuming that you only have it doing routing and that it can do the basics at full line speed.

Yes, that is what is currently running there. We don't do QoS filtering in the lab, so it handles the speeds just fine.

ERL can do near line speed as long as you don’t do something to hit the CPU.
