Which incidentally today is a day to drink. . . already been a morning.
No kidding. Spent most of this morning troubleshooting a dead VM, finding a working snapshot (had to go back to Christmas!) and then, the boss man tell me to set up Daily snapshots on any system that has BTRFS. (I agree with him on this one!)
Maybe time for normal backups.
I'm trying to convince the powers that be.... However the licensing software would kill us on pricing. We could build a NAS solution to store our backups for less than $12k (a buddy of mine set up a ReadyNas or Synology with 144TB Raw storage).
Lots of free but still backup options.
Yeah. Just gotta convince the bosses to spring for the backup storage... They're not afraid to spend money on stuff when we need it and have the money available to us. Once they say go, I'll definitely be investigating the front runners like Veeam... but I'm afraid it will be too expensive for us with ~300 VMs and ~30 VMware Hosts.
That's a ton of hosts.
Yeah. We work the crap out of them though, lol. By and large things work well.

@JaredBusch you know EdgeOS pretty well for the Edge routers?
Decently well. I am comfortable enough to run alpha/beta testing when I have time.
awesome.
So with edge os can you set up the router to give out different IP's on different ports?Via DHCP to clients or externally using outbound NAT?
Wow that was bland - My apologizes.
What I was meaning, Can you have different subnets on the same router on different ports?Oh course. it is a router.
Okay awesome. Was trying to explain that to my boss but wanted to make sure what I was saying was correct.
Yes, Via DHCP-
That is not how that works.
I know. after I posted the reply I facepalmed and decided to leave it .
You don't even need separate ports - you can use VLANs as well, all on a single port, each having it's own IP range. As JB said - it's a router, that's what it's supposed to do.
I understand that.
So where the question came from ( this is going to be fun) phones were down this morning. couldnt figure out why. Turns out, There are 2 networks in the building one for corporate and one for us. The Service manger tied the two together to give them access to the camera at the back door to let UPS, Fedex, Postal service in. which is on our subnet. causing phones to pickup the wrong subnet and not connect properly.
My thought was.. Why did he do that? gave us a bunch of problems today.
What could we do to make that work, And I was thinking what if we put it on a switch and then connect the two networks so it can be viewed. ( I don't think that'll work though)thinking about it now, I know how to fix it. ....
I need a 55 gallon bucket of gasoline.

Trying to wrap up some thing on site so I can leave early yet not be totally unproductive for the day.
Older daughter is home with a fever and the younger has Soloban (abacus) lesson 30 minutes away form home on Wednesday..
I don't feel like infecting an entire public library with WTF ever my daughter has. So home I need to be.

You fix it by creating a route on the router to allow traffic from one network to the other.

Awesome. I'll give that a try to make it easier.
Would that keep the other network secure?
The corporate office doesnt want us on their network - Dont ask me, why. Sensitive information or something. -

The corporate office doesnt want us on their network - Dont ask me, why. Sensitive information or something.Well - that totally depends on how you set it up. If you setup the router to only allow access from your network to that one IP, then it's more secure... but if that camera can be compromised, then someone on your network can use that camera to attack that other network from the camera.

Who's camera is it? your's or theirs? If it's their's, why isn't it on their network?

I think you're missing the point.
The camera is for allowing entry to the dock door, the corporate office hasnt had access to it, but since we have people in and out of the office at random times, it would be nice to have extra people to open the door.
It's been on our network since before I started here, this is something new they want to do.

They just want access to open the door.
They dont want us on their network, they just want access to see the Dock area, to open the door if there is no one else to open it, Right now, Two people have access to it . if they arent here,
WE have to run and open the door for the shipping / receiving. -

Simmer down - No points being missed here - you didn't say anything about something new (though i did assume this).
How is the camera accessed? is it accessed directly via IP? If that's the case, then creating the route between the networks will allow corporate PCs to access your network to whatever IPs you grant in the ACL (Access Control List) in the router. So if you limit their access to just the IP of the camera, then they (the corporate people) won't see anything else on your network. And your network will continue to have zero access to the corporate network.

You know instead of face palm why dont you give advice?Because it's the myth of VLANs providing security. Unless it is two physically separated networks (which I doubt as it sounds like it's all in the same building.) Do you really need more of an explanation?

I believe it is IP only though I cant be exactly sure, that's controlled by the service manager.
