Useful, or trash? (Switches, firewall, PDUs) in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Thanks! The Tripp lites have been amazing to use. I think they do. They have the status Ethernet connector with two other PS/2 style connectors.

The M500 has some weird issue where it beeps 3 times, short pause, and another 3 beeps. On repeat. I’ve tried factory resetting but no dice so far. Can’t get the arm to do anything but be red.

Good to know about the 3650

Useful, or trash? (Switches, firewall, PDUs) (alien.top)
 

I snagged a bunch of equipment from a business selling off their stuff.

  • Watchguard Firebox M500
  • Tripp-lite PDUMH20ATNET (x4)
  • Cisco Catalyst 3560 POE-24
  • Dell PowerConnect 6224

I run a Ubuiqiti setup ATM (AP + DM:SE). I'm thinking the PDUs and Firewall might be useful, though I see people maybe recommend PFSense over WatchGuard.

Edit: I also need to, at some point, get 5 SNMP devices for the free trial thing going on around Reddit.

How do i connect to an hp procurve switch? (alien.top)
 

I was given an HP Procurve 2824 j4903a and when I connect it up to my Ubiquiti UDM SE I don't see an IP or anything opaque appear on my network.

Do I need to use what looks like a COM/serial port on the front of the device to access its configuration? It says web browser on the above link so I assumed it had a web UI.

Does it make sense to consolidate with Proxmox and store in basement? (alien.top)
 

I've got three main pieces of software/hardware I run with in my homelab today. I'm wondering if it makes sense consolidate my gaming server and where I run my web apps (docker containers) and leave my Synology solely to run as a NAS.

I currently have my gaming PC in my office, along with my MacBook Pro, connected to my ultrawide. My Ideal setup would be to 1) migrate my 24/7 server to more power efficient hardware 2) centralize my gaming server so I can connect to it from my TV, Steam Deck, or Ultrawide seamlessly and 3) slowly just get everything else off my Synology so it can be single focused on being a NAS.

I wonder if Proxmox is the tool that unlocks this ability for me. As I understand it online gaming might be problematic, as well as streaming to my 100hz ultrawide?

I can't think of an alternative that gets me environment isolation + gaming capability all while consolidating on my more power efficient hardware.

Current setup:

  1. Synology

Powers my NAS Docker containers (DNS, Torrent, Plex, web apps)

  1. Gaming PC

Specs: Runs Windows 11, Intel 12th gen with RTX 3070

Turned on ~10% of the time. 100% for gaming either via Sunshine (to Steam deck, TV) or directly connected to my ultrawide

  1. Old Desktop

Specs: Runs Ubuntu Server, Intel 3th gen with integrated graphics

Runs docker containers (web apps like *arr, HA)
