Heh, well, he can identify most networking gear as well. Stuff with a large
number of ports are clearly switches, and small number of ports are routers
(or firewalls, but hard for him to tell the difference until he can read).
I love coming home with some gear to configure for an install later on, and
him running out to meet me and seeing it and saying, Daddy's got a router!

Col, looks like lots of heart and soul went into the rack and its
equipment and congrats on the accompishments! I am in the the same
sceanrio
sort of. By seeing the pictures, its kind of apparent that providing
for
the family is what it;s all about (Noah), he;s the pride and joy in the
photos, as my daughter Bayleigh is in mine. Thays what its all about
show us equipment all day but we are working for that sunshine in our
lives
...our families and we keep on striving... and getting better. I am
hoping
to hear Hey what does your Dad do?,.Oh, he builds bad ass
networks!
Cheers!

Subject: OT: Router rack pictures [7:1470]
I almost forgot to post this (actually, I did forget to post them last
night, and almost forgot again tonight).
I got the pictures from my rack up. The first two are before the
cleanup,
and the last two are after rack I cleaned it up.
http://jason.artoo.net/2001-04-19/rack.html
Can you believe that on the middle shelf between the white upright
speakers
and under the rats-nest of cables is a 2610, 16 port hub, and 827 (with
my
Nextel charger on top)? Yeah, so I decided to clean up a bit.
The second pair of pictures show (from the bottom up) two Catalyst 3524
Inline Power switches, 10mbit 16 port hub (left), 827 ADSL router
(right),
wire management (nicely hiding all the patch cables), 2610 router with
two
WIC-T1-DI modules, rack-mount 16 port Linksys 10mbit hub, three 6 plug
surge
protectors, (on the back-left post is a 10-port power strip that came
with
the rack). Ok, moving to the top of the rack (I know, it's still a bit
messy up there, but it leaves me more room in my rack, and that gear
doesn't
change, whereas the rack gear changes as it's due to be installed at
different customer sites). On the top of the rack from the right to
left:
486 DX4/100 RH Linux server (with 10mbit Intel NetPort Express
connected
to
two printers), two Linksys 10/100 5 port switches ($25 each after $20
rebates), 1605-R router connected to an ADSL Westell bridge on top
(usual
internet/firewall access when I don't have the 827), Aironet 350 Access
Point on top (Aironet 350 PCMCIA in the laptop works two houses down and
covers the entire yard). Ok, behind that, starting from the bottom up
is
a
4500 with two 100mbit ports and two 10mbit ports, two 2502s, 2501, and
IBM
Token Ring concentrator (?) on top. Hmm, oh, and to the left of the
rack
you can see a Cisco 7960 IP Phone. Oh, and down at the bottom is my son
Noah's computer (ex-server case that's huge, and has only a baby-AT
sized
motherboard inside). Noah would be my adorable 3-year and usual excuse
for
why I haven't been studying.
Older pictures from a low-res webcam from when I first got the rack
(free,
thanks Justin!) with a Compaq 3000 VAC UPS that runs for days with all
this
gear on it:

Ok, I'm spoiled, I know. I'm trying to convince my boss to add a remote
power boot/switch and 2511 terminal server to the lab.
If you can handle some more pics, you can see some other stuff I'm proud
off
(family, firepit, and compost bins):
http://jason.artoo.net/2001-04-19/
I gotta go add comments (cut'n'paste from this post will make it easy).
Man, I don't want to install FrontPage again... will I succumb to the
evil
that is Micro$oft?
