The Octotel Premium (Multi-gig fibre 2.5/5/10Gbit) Thread

[genetic]

Which platform is this?

10Gbps with 5Gbps upload next?

I find the servers you connect to battle to even manage 1Gbps at a time. The only file sharing service that can benefit from 5Gbps upload speeds is MASV, but they charge per MB, and it gets PRICEY!

Used 2.5/2.5 since launch. Smooth sailing so far. Octotel team are always a pleasure to work with.

Have a VRRP setup with Openserve 50/50 Premium as backup (active-active with router redundancy - Openserve runs on L009).

MikroTik RB5009 as Core Router - ONT to router using the 2.5GB copper port and DAC cable back to CRS328

Reyee 2.5GB managed PoE switches

Ubiquiti APs (U7 Pro x 2 and U7 Pro XG x 1)

Neat setup, What's the Sonoff switch for?

Would a local hosted file sharing service make any sense?

Thanks Measuring power consumption of most of most of the network kit in the house, and a “on/off” switch for the whole cabinet. The ONTs and the smart switch are mounted on a 2u blanking plate that I modified.

So sonoff local? Otherwise useless when no interwebs . And where is the UPS?

Lol, no I would use the physical button in that case, last resort if I have done something stupid with my network configuration or the MikroTik kit behaves like MikroTik kit It was initially just to get an idea of the power consumption of my kit, didn’t really take that much further.

Power consumption... low.

Inverter located in garage 2 pdus in bottom rear of cab. 1 is fed from inverter, 1 is fed from mains, on a different circuit. 5009 has DC in front and on side, L009 has DC on the front and PoE in via injector. Hap mini without its stand on the shelf, acting as a crude power monitor.

So you can actually string up 2 DC PSUs from different feeds into the same device as well.

Yeah - almost all MikroTik devices have multiple power options.

2.5Gbps up and running in Kenilworth, Cape Town on Atomic Access.
Solid so far, can't wait for 5Gbps though!

Also got a Halny ONT, model HLX-TGV. Runs 10Gbps RJ45 to my UDM Pro Max with a UniFi transceiver (UACC-CM-RJ45-MG), running pretty cool so far. Seems to have negotiated at 10Gbps with the ONT.

For the eventual 5 Gbps: the big question becomes your WAN handoff type from Atomic/ONT. If it remains 10G copper, you’re fine. If they offer 10G SFP+ (fiber) handoff, that’s often even cleaner (less heat/power vs 10GBASE‑T), but your current arrangement sounds solid either way.

It's my understanding they'll keep the same ONT, so won't see SFP+ from the ONT. Would be nice, not a deal breaker for me.

Finally started to get things hard-wired in my place, connected via 10Gbit ethernet.

I've always been a fan of unifi's neat little gui for stuff like this.
Call it whatever you want I just like the info it provides and the way it provides it.

Anybody know of anything that can be self hosted that would provide the same or similar information?

Just a little real time bandwidth graph or what exactly?

 

[IOPS]

I see, what looks like Cool Ideas, seems to be hosting the Frugal/Blocknews Africa Usenet server.
It flies, grabbed a 10GB test file only using that server:

Yes please!

Real time bandwidth graph along with down/up speed and the monthly usage.
