Building a better network 04-29-2017, 11:32 PM #1
So along with studying for my CCNA, I'm currently upgrading my network hardware. I have tons of devices, and I've discovered I really like the flexibility of Cisco hardware.

My Cisco 2960 24- port managed switch arrived in the mail today:

I'm also on the lookout for a Cisco 2911 Integrated Services Router to spearhead the new setup, but even used those are fairly pricey.

Spec Sheets for you nerds out there:

How much did that cost? Aren't switches expensive?

New they are, but you can find them on ebay from e-waste recyclers for cheap. Mine was only $30.

I SE'd a switch once that MSRP was 18k but I couldn't even sell it for 1k, fucking sucked.

My setup is still a steaming pile of shit Tongue

I mentioned this in the first podcast, but that blue one is a ~30 m cat7 I stole from my school that goes from my room, through a corner of the kitchen, into the living room, over a fireplace and a door, and then into a router.

It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.

No no. RF shielded. Running a cable that long is gonna pick up RF interference.

I know the two black ones are shielded, but I don't have a spec sheet for the blue one. I haven't had any problems, but is there a way to check?
