In Transit

A lot of things are in a transitive state right now. And so is my lab! Super Excited !! I have started receiving some of the components and will be building again soon.

1GbE and 10GbE optics arrived, still waiting on some of the cables, TwinAx arrived. Remote 1GbE transceiver conversion switch arrived for 1GbE fiber runs (future wiring closet). It’s too cold to run fiber right now anyway ;)

Fiber tools arrived and awaiting some practice time for cold connecting the ends.

MiniPC on track to arrive today for the new vSphere host

10GbE Aggregation Switch (Ubiquiti US-XG-16) is somewhere between Ontario and here ( I like to picture my switch enjoying the great Canadian odyssey of its drive across Canada). Hoping for this weekend.

Switch for future wiring closet is still back ordered and likely a few weeks yet (Ubiquiti USW-PRO-24),

I’ve done some prep labeling and shuffled some ports on my Cisco SB300-28P small business switch to free up the SFP combo ports. This is my current layer 3 and will likely transition that role to the 10GbE aggregation switch at some point.

DS1821+ is wired with 1GbE and has an IP but is waiting for configuration and connection to the new 10 GbE switch.

So exciting to have some projects on the go again.

Hope you are well
