The evolution of an IT professional's home network:
(Forgive the wall of text. I just kept going and going...)
Step 1: What's all this about?
Has a broadband connection, a stock WRT54G that runs a laptop and a desktop on stock DHCP range over 192.168.1.0/24
Step 2: Hrm, this is neat.
Adds a Windows Server "for tinkering"
Broadband connection, stock WRT54G that runs a laptop, a desktop on stock DHCP range over stock DHCP range over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server
Step 3: Add HTPC
Broadband connection, stock WRT54G that runs a laptop, a desktop and a HTPC on stock DHCP range over stock DHCP range over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server
Step 4: Now I realize that I can store files centrally and managing four machines seperately is a pain.
Broadband connection, stock WRT54G that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with three AD-integrated clients (laptop and desktop and HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media.
Step 5: Not enough storage! I'd better upgrade my server or add a NAS.
Broadband connection, stock WRT54G that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with three AD-integrated clients (laptop and desktop and HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS.
Step 6: Centrally stored files now requires a backup solution.
Broadband connection, stock WRT54G that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with three AD-integrated clients (laptop and desktop and HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS and backs up to an external USB drive plugged into the server.
Step 7: Performance is suffering. I'll add monitoring and whatnot to help troubleshoot.
Broadband connection, stock WRT54G that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with three AD-integrated clients (laptop and desktop and HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS and backs up to an external USB drive plugged into the server. Server now running MySQL / PHP site and maybe NAGIOS.
Step 8: SNMP is fun. Look at all the pretty charts! I'll get SNMP aware devices!
Broadband connection, WRT54G now running DD-WRT connected to a Dell PowerConnect or HP ProCurve switch from eBay that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with three AD-integrated clients (laptop and desktop and HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS and backs up to an external USB drive plugged into the server. Server now running MySQL / PHP site and maybe NAGIOS and a SMTP that forwards to a smart host that notifies you of any alerts on your smartphone.
Step 9: Security concerns. All of my Quicken data is on my server being accessed over a simple WEP key.
Broadband connection, WRT54G now running DD-WRT connected to a SNMP-enabled Dell PowerConnect or HP ProCurve switch from eBay that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with five AD-integrated clients (laptop, primary desktop, two "test" machines and your HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS and backs up to an external USB drive plugged into the server. Server now running MySQL / PHP site and maybe NAGIOS and a SMTP that forwards to a smart host that notifies you of any alerts on your smartphone. Wireless traffic now encrypted via a locally signed certificate from your server running certificate services and authenticates via RADIUS to NPS.
Step 10: The wife is sick of you tinkering with her laptop. So you build a stub wireless network for her.
Broadband connection, primary and secondary WRT54G now running DD-WRT broadcasting two distinct wireless network SSIDs connected to a SNMP-enabled Dell PowerConnect or HP ProCurve switch from eBay that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with five AD-integrated clients (laptop, primary desktop, two "test" machines and your HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS and backs up to an external USB drive plugged into the server. Server now running MySQL / PHP site and maybe NAGIOS and a SMTP that forwards to a smart host that notifies you of any alerts on your smartphone. Wireless traffic now encrypted via a locally signed certificate from your server running certificate services and authenticates via RADIUS to NPS.
Step 11: But you now have WEP back on your network! Segment it!
Broadband connection, primary and secondary WRT54G now running DD-WRT broadcasting two distinct wireless network SSIDs connected to a SNMP-enabled Dell PowerConnect or HP ProCurve switch from eBay that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with five AD-integrated clients (laptop, primary desktop, two "test" machines and your HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS and backs up to an external USB drive plugged into the server. Server now running MySQL / PHP site and maybe NAGIOS and a SMTP that forwards to a smart host that notifies you of any alerts on your smartphone. Wireless traffic now encrypted via a locally signed certificate from your server running certificate services and authenticates via RADIUS to NPS.
Network is now split into two VLANs with two SSIDs: one certificate encrypted with RADIUS authentication that points to the home network, the other to the wife's SSID that's wep encrypted with the passphrase of "1111111111".
Step 12: But the wife can't print! Hey routing is fun!
Broadband connection, primary and secondary WRT54G now running DD-WRT broadcasting two distinct wireless network SSIDs connected via two Cisco 2621 routers purchased off of ebay that run a /30 connector network with OSPF routes to allow access to the network attached printer and the internet. All this connects to a SNMP-enabled Dell PowerConnect or HP ProCurve switch from eBay that runs an active directory integrated network from a server now running AD, DNS and DHCP with five AD-integrated clients (laptop, primary desktop, two "test" machines and your HTPC) over 192.168.1.0/24 with a static IP for the server that has a file share for shared media that may or may not redirect to a NAS and backs up to an external USB drive plugged into the server. Server now running MySQL / PHP site and maybe NAGIOS and a SMTP that forwards to a smart host that notifies you of any alerts on your smartphone. Wireless traffic now encrypted via a locally signed certificate from your server running certificate services and authenticates via RADIUS to NPS.
Network is now split into two VLANs with two SSIDs: one certificate encrypted with RADIUS authentication that points to the home network, the other to the wife's SSID that's wep encrypted with the passphrase of "1111111111".
At this point:
You are now a full-fledged home networking nerd, proud of your network with it's clever use of VLSM. Your network diagram has been posted to [H] and hangs on your wall. Pictures of your rack are in the networking thread and you post in the 10TB club.
Step 13: Sh*t is breaking! OMG the power bill!
Your eBay gear starts to break and your eBay habit takes on a life of its own. Fiber! Multichannel Cisco WAPs! PoE! IP Telephony! iSCSI! ESX! VPN tunnels!
Step 14: AAAAaaaaaa!
You tear it all down, selling or e-cycling the majority of it.
Broadband connection, a stock WRT54G that runs a laptop, a desktop, an HTPC and a storage server on stock DHCP range over 192.168.1.0/24
