Preparing for 10 GIGABIT Internet! What Could Go Wrong? #Helpful Post

so honestly the last thing I want to do

is be here in the office on a Saturday

agreed I mean taken now Jake and Anthony

they're stoked oh yeah they're super

thrilled yeah they love it but me I wish

I didn't have to be in here on a

Saturday but the problem is we have a

wack ton of stuff to do to fix our

server room and our network and the only

time you can really do this sort of

stuff is when people aren't using it

which means you have to come in on the

weekend so we need to change a bunch of

our

we've got a we've got us a lot to do oh

man oh I even found out something else

we get to do you guys fellas came in for

the site survey and we get to redo all

of this networking so that they can get

access to this to slide it out oh you're

joking right no no I'm not that was bad

design

it's the comb-over

with glassware you can instantly see

your current and past Network activity

detect malware and block badly behaving

apps on your PC or Android device use

offer code Lynas to get 25% off

glassware at the link below

I think step number one is to do what is

quite literally one of the scariest

things that I do around here Oh turn the

servers off turn the servers off well

this is going well already

Oh oh boy so this is our new router

it handles 10-gig it'll be running

pfsense which means that we'll have much

lower level access to handling all of

our networking tasks so if something

goes wrong you don't have to be like

well okay is it a firmware issue we can

go in and be like yeah it's a

configuration issue we can just edit

this file and off we go

the reason we need it though is we're

getting faster internet so it's five gig

to the broader Internet but it's ten gig

to anything at the Vancouver internet

exchange oh so that's like basically

anything that matters some aw ask Google

so our Google backup is going to be

super fast now oh yeah okay bring that

down get this thing fired up it's not

even that heavy I carried this thing up

it's awkward and it's digging into my

knee

not even that okay there hold on I just

had to lift it up a little bit now it's

digging into my thigh muscle ooh tasty I

have been trying to figure out for far

longer than she would not be

embarrassing a good way to hold this

stupid cabinet door open while I'm

sliding servers in and out of it up pain

I mean I'm sure if we ledge them up a

module in there and be perfectly fine so

the problem is that it kind of doesn't

open all the way easily so when you're

trying to slide stuff out it like get

spot here and here so here's my idea I'm

gonna open it up as much as I can then

I'm gonna drill a hole in the side of

this keyboard tray

it's cooler away dang it's then I'm

gonna take the allen key that I always

have to have here anyway so that I can

pull servers out yes oh crap

well now this can't lift up and that's

also in the way here's the thing

Johnny who originally set up all of our

VLANs and all of our routing and all of

that stuff has sort of retired from the

IT consultancy business so we're gonna

be trying to piece together everything

that he did on our ubiquity gear and

then reassemble it on our pfSense box

from super micro here in theory this is

just gonna be a simple one-to-one

instant swapper Unni it's not going to

be Wow thanks Jake what a downer you

still can't find it no it's like I

looked everywhere over there in the

workshop to look through the workshop

did you call Alex and the hangouts ring

it's like heels pretentious hey sorry to

bug you these the like is missing oh

he's calling where would we find that

yes the air fittings trey is completely

and there was two things in there I took

tomorrow oh okay no there were two

things in here that would not help us

somebody put it in a dumb spot so this

is the router right here what took me

literally less than 10 seconds to find

it okay we was sitting on the chair that

you refused to pick the things up off of

last weekend I took the doofus train

going anywhere to the server room what

server do you want first Jake I

literally don't care I'm gonna label

things better than I go put this out so

is it raining

well actually 101 would be good but it's

kind of far away 30 dusty is all heck in

there your mom's already dosed you the

like I mean you know what how does it

feel

smells like that oh I haven't showered

in three months that's quite a thick boy

what do you drop this thing I know that

haven't been shipping is that what you

tell everybody whenever you drop

something like oh it happened in

shipping got it

you betcha okay that's uncool Eve that

there on top yeah oh my god that's so

high the server's Mindy bud

this my friends is the real reason we

switched to solid state storage so you

can drop it and it doesn't break there's

another thing that we're doing today and

there's another reason we're taking all

the servers out Oh people are careless

and accidentally sign Hardware out

particularly to Albion server because

it's the top of that alphabet in our

inventory system so even like you I

think we'll be able to figure out a lot

of it by just looking at it we just look

at how being server than what's checked

out to it it's like this doesn't have a

Zed 270 board in it yeah than 80 700 K

we're gonna look at server really wanted

those Logitech G Pro headset pretty

closely oh you might have been right

there's actually some headphones check

totes Albion server I don't think

they're Wireless but tuned in ear Pro we

got a GTX 980 is there a 1080 in there

yeah I don't think so so and a monitor

this thing even has its own monitor day

oh yeah every single damn time I forget

how the lid comes off of this stupid

server like there's one screw back here

and I could've sworn that was the whole

skadoodle the gosh-darn skadoodle there

but hey wow this is a you think it's

just like what if I break is that a

problem

I mean wow you are I'm just gonna you

know I'm just gonna let you bask in

there how long did it take me to find

the nozzle I I say that you finding the

nozzle is kind of a fluke do you want to

just go clean servers are you gonna help

me no I'm gonna help you because after

there cleans they need they all need to

be audited so I finally got an IP

address meal to access the pfsense box

this cable that we had for the test card

is caravaggio got another cable it's

fine

yeah we're started yeah I got the Z on D

2.3 gigahertz 16 threads eight cores

we've got 32 gigs 32 gigs of ram it's I

think I read somewhere that the

bandwidth mattered or something and I

think those were the slowest capacity

ECC dims we had you

really I don't know dude I say we just

let it keep the RAM fine I like Wham's

so over only what an hour and a half in

I actually don't know if we're gonna

have all this done by Monday I am

finished auditing one server and Anthony

is copying config files oh come on do I

even care should I put the the drive

covers over the top does it matter

I just don't know if it matters Jake do

these matter they're probably good for

like vibration or something oh they see

they that's exactly what they're for

yeah oh god oh we blew each other Oh No

that's unfortunate at least one of these

bays has an SSD in it but I don't see

any so far no no no no no no I need I

don't even know the best way to do this

so signed out to this server are at

least one to seven SSDs that are not in

it all so I really hope it didn't matter

that I changed the order of these

probably not hopefully oh I really hope

not how many combinations of 24 items

are there seems like kind of a lot it's

probably fine wait what am i doing why

am i putting them back in I have to scan

them oh okay

oh they're jammed uh Anthony can I

borrow your VGA cable and peripherals

and stuff yeah

dang it Anthony who screws in VGA its

proper procedure to screw in VGA yeah

but like it's just a test bench okay I

love that servers don't sound like

they're booting up they sound like

they're taking off yeah it sounded like

you turn on a vacuum cleaner

[Applause]

though this is bad

this has been taking far too long to

boot there was also that weird error

with the LSI controller at the beginning

or a vago or whoever owns that now so

all I can really do right now is like

replug it and hope for the best here

this is really not a good scene oh oh

that's good wait yes oh yes he's that

all there oh that's all the drive so

good

holy crap I don't know how that happened

or how it got fixed which is the very

worst kind of fixed let's go ahead and

shut this bad boy back down and go throw

it in the pile of audited and all good

whoo yeah

winning is taking a lot longer than we

thought this why is this one so dirty

gross 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ah I

thought teamwork right I heard it makes

the dream work yeah yeah that's what I

heard DreamWorks that's what I heard

through the trade market we can say that

I don't think we can say that so we

still have as you may or may not have

noticed a PCI Express 16 X lot you want

to put a 40 gig Oh what are they hundred

giggles stupid haha

are they forty or hundred nine hundred

technically 100 that seems like a lot I

don't think our switch does hundred

though did it work with the Ethernet

devices did you connect to an Ethernet

device over there yeah sure we actually

had like six of those 40 gigabit ports

on the on the switch though yeah on the

down-low what ah I don't know how this

ended up in the baggie for it but it's

not the right size what did it come with

a low profile bracket I don't know well

give me to zip-tie light Oh

people are gonna hate us I dropped the

bottle over here probably wouldn't come

okay I think this is the one that can

technically do 40 gigabit but also can't

Oh

take those line up oh they probably do

they're both Mellanox probably yeah so

we're just gonna take the stock bracket

and then we're just gonna cut out the

parts we don't need and zip tie the card

to the other parts that we do still need

it's a good plan we should throw that at

Dennis and tell him it's a bug how's

this going Anthony I think it's about

ready to go

seriously basically I just need to

change the interface over so that it

uses a VLAN okay but once I change that

over to the office land we should just

be able to drop it in and it should

basically good work should or will well

you set up all the DHCP servers yes so

this is another change we're making

we're putting the DHCP server back on

our router we're taking it off that VM

that was running on one of the Windows

servers which I think we already did

that was did we turn that off already I

did a long time ago everyone on internet

broke the internet was broken for like a

week

turns out our routers date was set to

2016 that was a good year though this is

clover server and this was built long

enough ago that eight terabyte drives

were like pretty dese you say that like

eight terabyte drives aren't pretty D

still you're gonna wish you never even

thought of dust could you get this out

of the way here

oh whoa there's a lot of hard drives on

there this whole bottom shelf is full of

hard why did we use this branch well

because the lower ones

yeah you like that no don't spin the fan

line this guy's just a little it's fine

yeah we should just do whole server room

water cool hey actually that's the

proper stuff to do okay looking good all

right why don't you roll the server for

a change okay but if I drop all the hard

drives it's not my fault did you fart

again I think you're lactose intolerant

oh yeah I am oh holy crap like I put the

compressor in the middle so now we can

walk for everyone to the yeah now you

don't hear nothing so for the

uninitiated this is our water-cooled

video export machine I won't really call

it a server even though it's in a - you

rack-mountable case because it's very

consumer hardware inside the main issue

with this one is that it's at the very

bottom of the rack whoa

oh yeah the orange round I forgot about

that

these are my old drives from like over

my gaming ring first they were referred

with refurb force 120s that i bought

like seven or eight years ago

well that's yeah that's a lot better

than I expected given that oh you know

why I forgot this case is filtered

probably need to clean the inside so all

that's left now is we're just gonna blow

out petabyte projects in the server room

we'll have that fan on and we're just

gonna blow the dust out into the

warehouse and good luck everybody else

rip Anthony whoa watch out there buddy

well bud we're getting care watch your

toes there bud are you ready for the

full couch

we got a X 540 T - yeah me five twenty

six twenty before that sounds about

right new X 400 128 K SSDs XL 60 days

does that say triple redundant it does

whoo baby a triple and then Delta one

should have 60 drives oh I don't want to

count Jake do you want to grab your

screwdriver and then let's get this edge

router Pro out of here pfSense actually

has a really cool feature what's it

called Karp failover or something like

that so we're just rolling out one for

now but in the future we can actually

have them both connected and running in

the event that one does experience some

kind of malfunction we can just have it

failover automatically like I think at

most you drop like a handful of packets

it's no big deal

you say that like you don't like

dropping packets right lightest what I

don't know you're talking about you

don't like dropping packets I'm just

trying to get this work done what if we

have to drop packets to do it while

we're dropping a whole lot of packets

right wow this is very poorly installed

I know I hate it so I just take it out

then no because it's hard wired in at

the back why is it I love security

companies but the point is we're gonna

move it we're not gonna move it yet but

soon all right time to go get Big Bertha

Big Bertha that's what your mom calls it

oh hey Linus yeah I got some bad news

what I dropped it

what No shut up you did Wow

so this is our new main switch so it's

got 48 10 gig rj45 ports and then this

is delicious but we've got six more of

these 40 gig cue sfp+ ports or whatever

what's on the bottom that's our edge

router at the bottom that's our edge

router that goes let me take some photos

of everything just so for whatever

reason we have how about we just pull

out everything we don't need

okay so there's our old router and here

this is our first 10 gigs which I

remember how excited I was about this

thing when I first got it you ever

cleaned it oh honey yeah I clean it once

at least so this is done this is done

they're done Anthony how what are what's

her whoa that's my screwdriver chances

look at your butt well given everything

I know about networking yes this is not

going to work it'll never work

what why I'm not the first shut up given

everything I know all the experience

I've ever had with networking gear fine

it's not gonna work let me know when you

want to try it or if you want to just

throw it right in and I'll set the

interfaces and shut it down

all right thanks Anthony I don't want to

take up the entire length of the rack if

we don't have to if we can ear mount it

I'd strongly prefer to do that it

doesn't have your mouth well if we can

find another way you just drop the

switch - and now he's pretending like it

doesn't hurt it hurts yeah I think

you're just a whiny baby yeah that's my

paycheck I can't even I can't even see

what I'm doing just where you can't just

unplug everything yes I can oh oh damn

it what the this there Anthony what

your stupid amplify thing just hit me in

the face are you am I able to pull this

for you just get a new rack do you want

to come in for the additional weekend

that it would take to swap racks okay

let's just pull this out

pay somebody we got the London look in

our server accent why did you plug it in

we need to split those fans around hey

which way are they going they're going

out this way oh crap I remember that now

no we can't flip those fans around was

the whole point

yeah just gentle gentle gentle we don't

have time for just jammed my hand in the

thing okay so Jake you've got all these

although all the wires in the orange man

it's still here okay that's fine we can

leave that I think I've already pulled

it out what well around the other side

round the outside round the outside how

do you look fine yeah I feel fine

everything's good Wow we should really

not run that on the inside of the rail

wait did we just unplug all the cameras

in a minute what the hell yeah we

unplugged all the cameras of course we

did yeah we can put the router here but

I want to move that stupid NVR somewhere

else okay so this is just an Ethernet

cable we can replace this with wait

where the hell was that plugged into on

the other side other side far far side

far side it's gonna sag and look stupid

put the screws in properly I'm gonna put

it on the top of the UPS for now there's

a fan there no I need the top of the

rack for organizing things put it back

there for now so Anthony figured out why

we're not getting an IP Anthony you mean

we figured out well how you figured out

he figured out we were not getting an IP

wouldn't mean you figured I figured out

why I said did you set it I told you why

I asked if we needed a static IP I

didn't hear you okay so let's start

plugging in devices here shall we yeah

okay I need more energy from you like

I'm dying trying to access that router

so I can get the settings off of it so I

can get our internet back up long story

short

VLANs they don't work when you plug it

directly into a computer oh I have a

switch for you well I have a switch here

though I just plugged in oh yeah that's

the switch I was gonna give you

so Linus yeah these are numbered the

same like you know changing these to a

different color cable or what if we just

mark them with a sharpie well just oh

yes

it was actually a really good idea yes

yeah that's right you like that Wow

you suck you know that that's actually

really yours anything I'm actually

genuinely a little bit mad now yeah you

markham yourself no you can't have it

get one oh damn that i hot-glued the

lock on this door no you can't lock it

don't even better back uh-huh I've been

watching luck sword-fighting show you

see how they go for the shin go for the

shin to the face see that's the thing is

the word really what about all these kid

nobody does that on the potty hey you

can't do that on cable thing

the PES I've got a router and zip ties

to know you need a router I need I don't

I don't think you understand there's

definitely two boys is this better

oh my ankle is this minimum focus

distance good enough yeah I

I need zip ties yeah I would really like

for this to not fall down and smoky in

the head

all right yeah we really need him to

drop a third thing on his head

Oh what is there a monitor stand in here

because it's the stand for that monitor

oh my god

well where else would I put it I don't

know like long-term storage for this

thing that's gonna be long-term store so

you went to UBC for science like general

Sciences yeah so you were just burning

money this sounds very unlike you two

does burn money like that clearly I

figured it out at some point yeah you

did

why didn't you go into business because

I didn't listen to my uncle who

hopefully will not watch this video

because I will get the most epic told

you so hey Jake do you remember when you

were mining on the server room and you

were gonna monitor the power usage with

us and you were gonna pay me back yeah

yeah remember how that didn't happen hey

David

epic power cord that's a nice cheap

thick like 12 GS big boy like that Linus

guy what his office just bring in a

power cord or whatever take it out I

know I did that a bunch give him a ton

of thought wait were you never supposed

to unplug that thing

geez I'm just sheared a mountain extra

wiring in here is ludicrous I think that

we're ready to go you think I'm

reasonably sure we're ready to go hasn't

even power done yet do you have the ear

screws or the ear screws here you don't

need them it's fine okay it was a trap

is what screwdrivers what are you

talking about it's like four

screwdrivers just sitting in the bottom

of what like under the dude yeah under

this what the kid can do work I mean he

works real hard at it for like putting

tape on the ground

I really hope it

just kind of lights up and works that

would be super cool gonna be really

unfortunate if it doesn't yeah and

actually don't know what we will do we

will learn command-line switch

configuration what's beeping oh the UPS

is having a hissy fit turning it off no

wait what what is going on no no this is

kind of moment of truth it's in it's all

right here let me unplug you can plug it

back in again what no no no like let's

just find out if it works all right okay

well I already did that so I hope that

didn't break anything

hey I'm plugged into 15 upstairs I think

does that plugged in I don't know you

tell me you're the one who fed me all

the cables from the front supposedly I'm

over yeah oh there's a 15 right there

plug in cool all right

I'm gonna go upstairs and see if we have

internet I was too much impact for my

testicle so here it is the moment of

it is unreachable so you said that the

switch had to support VLANs right yeah

well do they have to be configured

shouldn't just drop in less you

configured you are using these switches

I'm using the Dell so why don't I plug

you guys into

the Netgear switch and we see if that

works it should well let's see if it

does
