Today, I redesigned my network

My range used to be 10.1.1.0/24 misc devices such as router management was 1-10 servers were 10-20 workstations where 20-100 and rest was DHCP.

I also had a double nat, which was silly, so got rid of that. There was a separate IP range between the firewall and the router. Got rid of the router and have everything going straight to the firewall which has now been setup for DHCP and obviously also does NAT. Also got snort to work, there was some rules it did not like and I just had never got around to troubleshooting.

I also changed to 10.1.0.0/16 range, because I can. :awe: 10.1.1 is servers 10.1.2 is workstations, and so on. Basically a full 255 IPs per "purpose". WAAAY overkill, but why not eh. Eventually when I get a managed switch I will probably break those down into /24 vlans but for now it's just all part of a /16.

Changed a lot of device IPs, updated forward and reverse DNS records, and everything is working flawlessly. Only a few hours of work. Time to go watch a movie or something now.

So what did everyone else do on this long weekend Sunday? 😀
 
I went to the book store with my parents who are in town for the long weekend, my wife and my son so my son could find some new books.

Went to the GA Aquarium with all of the above this morning. Was my son's 1st time and was a bit overwhelming for him at times. Being only 2 years 2 months old, I think that's understandable though.

My wife and I took advantage of having free baby sitters and went out to a nice Japanese/Hibachi place tonight and then saw Rise of the Plane of the Apes, which was pretty decent.
 
I killed robots in Borderlands, then harvested their parts to help Tanis.

MINAC wasn't easy, but the Robolution is no more.
 
I ran an ALGOR sim using anti cavitation rods made out of an element with a specific gravity exceeding 1700 kilograms per milliliter! 😱

Why get rid of the router? It would be a pretty good default gateway and dhcp server. Give the router's interface an ip of 10.1.1.1 and continue using that /16 as your "private" network, and the firewall's internal interface 10.2.1.1, and if you ever get into have multiple providers, give the next firewall an ip of 10.3.1.1, etc. :sneaky:

Double natting was getting a little crazy, so I decided to just remove it. It will make a nice spare router though. The current firewall is an old Dell 1650 with a SCSI drive. When that drive fails that's going to be it for that box until I can build a whole new machine, because it would cost just as much to replace the drive. 😱
 
i'm running double NAT to the wireless and it hasn't caused an issue yet, but all my VPN resides in the first NAT domain anyway....I'm due for a network refresh / redesign as well though, so many new things have appeared since i originally threw it together!
 
With my bro-in-laws assistance, pulled the heads off my 2000 chevy impala. I hate that car right now, plagued with coolant leaking issues. Spent the rest of the day working in the yard and chilling with my wife and kids.(who like to do yard work)
 
I was anxious and slept strange hours. Trying to taper off my anxiety and depression meds cause they aren't doing me all that much good. Getting off them causes a LOT more anxiety though lol. It's a common side effect. Also don't have a job right now and waiting for classes to start in a few days (taking 2 courses) so my sleep schedule has gotten all out of whack. Going to correct that once classes start I hope.
 
Loaded and unloaded 4000 pounds of retaining wall block. Started trenching the footings for the wall. And trunched and burried a couple tiles for gutter drains. Thank god the weather turned awesome and we have highs in the low 70’s. Big improvement to to 100 degeees we had at the end of the week.
