  • I’m a big fan of MikroTik for enterprise grade routers without the subscription/licensing shit, and at a much more affordable price than stuff from Cisco, Arista, Juniper, etc. I have my ISP router set up in bridge mode, so it just passes all traffic through to my MikroTik router. Then the firewall stuff is all on the Tik.

    You can hook the server’s NICs up to the sfp+ switch, but still connect the ilo to the copper 1G switch. So you still have router on stick to sfp+ switch, then 1G switches both connect to sfp+ switch. If you want to dive into ospf or stp/rstp you can create loops, so wiring the switches to each other and all to the router, but theres obv some more configuration stuff to learn with all that.

    Idk maybe I’m misunderstanding. In the spirit of the original article, you should add another server to your lab and run eve-ng bare metal on it so you can simulate huge network topologies before buying new networking gear and make the cops think your grow op is even bigger.
