Home Network Tossing Notes 1: Network Cabling & ROS Toss

Foreword

Digression: In Aunt Zhang’s stay for a long time, she is looking at other people’s originality. In the network, she is basically a Dangdang passenger and rarely writes anything. After reading such a long time, Aunt Zhang has a lot of grass and a lot of pickpockets. Some time ago, she was tempted to turn off the cloud storage, such as fast disk, and suddenly decided to toss the family cloud (for a long time, but no motivation). It's a small harvest.

Enter the topic, I own a IT dog, 14 years of renovation of the first suite, the design of the other basic are not how much control, all the wives and designers communicate ideas, except for this network I participate in the decision; Tossing dead hearts, at the beginning of the design, taking into account the needs of various network equipment in the future, reducing the use of wifi, can take all the reserved network cable of the limited network, and then ... ... master electrician said: "Your family's Weak electricity arrived at 3-4 others." (The last thing is still)

Network layout

Broadband: Telecom E home package, mobile phone package to send 100M broadband

Light Cat: Telecom Light Cat

Core routing: Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S-IN 24-port routing switch

AP access point: ASUS RT-AC66U

Fixed devices: Wired access, mainly desktop computers, game consoles, televisions, printers, NAS, etc.

Mobile Devices: WIFI Access, Mobile Phones, Notebooks, Surveillance Cameras, etc.

Probably when designing home network layout, CHH planted Mikrotik's ROS soft routing, this online 24-port model, so in line with the principle of not wasting, all 24 ports are used, and there is a Tucao above master electrician.. ....

Core routing

When designing a home network, I thought a lot about it and I have not found a suitable route. Those low-end routes that I used before were not able to take the opportunity and stability. Later I went to the forum to know that there was a soft route and I wanted to toss it. There was a sudden CHH knew Mikrotik and found out that this 24-port decision was right. A certain treasure shop purchases 1300 soft sister coin, does not release the link.

As for what is a soft route, quote Baidu Wikipedia inside said:

Do not take a picture of the sun out of the box (I will tell you because some time ago to Japan travel mobile phone broke, the photos are gone?)

product description

Simply put, there are 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and an SFP interface. There is also an RJ45 serial port. The SFP interface module needs to be purchased separately. There is also a small screen on the top (though the egg is lopped in the electric box, who looks at it). The most satisfying part is the measurements. In 24 cases, the volume is really small.

experience feelings

This route has been running on the line for more than half a year now. It is mainly for ROS novices. It is too daunting to use. It also uses the routing function. However, it uses a dual network segment (a network segment with limited connections, a network segment with an AP), and PPTP. Internal network penetration, simple analysis of the advantages and disadvantages:

advantage:

Functional - powerful, only unexpected, no impossible

VPN - Supports multiple protocol VPNs (PPTP, OVPN, etc.) and can serve as a server or client

Stability - like Wikipedia's introduction to "Benefit from the stable Linux and BSD kernels, the stability of software routers is very good, without rebooting the software router, theoretically the running time is unlimited." Is it not infinite running time, I'm not sure, but I haven't turned it off and rebooted after six months. It's been working.

Dissipation of heat - this really does not have to say, the device is placed in the weak box inside the boot for six months, even if the current high temperature in Wuhan, the shell is also slightly hot, probably because of the reason of the metal body.

The ROS functionality is really powerful (you can refer to the RouterOS Wikipedia), and many functions can be achieved through scripting, but it feels like most homes do not need it.

Disadvantages:

Advantages are shortcomings, features are too strong, difficult to get started a bit high, the operation of the winbox are basically English version; do not recommend hands-on and learning ability is not strong people start (self that the ability is okay, but the initial attempt and AP access point combination Two days when configuring dual network segments

AP access point

WIFI is implemented on the existing AC66U by hand, and a special purchase price of 599 is available in the East.

Using AP mode, dual hotspots (one of them is visitor WIFI)

One wifi, for personal use (MAC binding)

A visitor wifi, using the AC66U's own features, while limiting the intranet access, only outside the network

Intranet penetration

Now telecommunication optic fibre, take the internal network, there is no public network IP, sometimes it is inconvenient to want to visit the home machine or download some things remotely, the machine is not suitable for 24 hours boot, but the route itself is 24 hours online. , just use the ROS, ready to toss the penetration of the internal network, half-way has seen the peanut shells of the program and equipment, but for me like toss directly ignored, or come on their own.

Intranet penetration, we first need a public IP network, this time you need a VPN to help, and ROS also supports VPN, really easy, now only need to find a suitable VPN on the line (I use someone else to provide a free , There are three free port places).

After you have a VPN, you only need to configure it under PPP in ROS (provided PPTP mode):

After the VPN connection, we configure the next port to jump to achieve the traditional, and then use ROS to remotely wake up the machine (NAS) in the LAN, and it can be operated remotely. It is really very good.

But personally think this is still not very convenient, this free VPN can only TCP jump, if you want to directly wake up the internal network remote network machine needs UDP jump, in the heart of tossing, ready to buy a VPS self-built VPN, both External network remote wake-up, but also through the ROS to deploy an automatic ladder to the network, a reasonable Internet, how good.

And so on, come here again to share DSM and VPN.
