A little insight goes a long way
Thanks. ISE looks interesting, think I'll investigate further...ex4200 is used as a top or rack switch (although its quite a beefy machine). Used for testing any physical stuff (802.1x etc) that I might need as well as testing vendor neutral things with the cisco kit.
Fortigate is used as a firewall, web filter, remote access and general mess around device
3560 switch is actually hardly ever used since I do everything virtually now
GNS3 is my old lab simulation app that emulates cisco routers, firewalls, juniper devices etc
untelab is the greatest thing i have. Emulates multiple vendors for testing
ISE is my identity services engine. Used to test new features for NAC, posturization etc. Basically identity based device.
WLC is the wireless lan controller, no longer used that much unless i need to test a feature
All this was used for studying for my CCIE, still used for my second CCIE, CCDE and JNCIE. Although I use unetlab for almost everything now as it integrates nicely
One NIC is connected directly to a modem while the other NIC is connected to a switch, and the switch is connected to the second modem and the LAN.OP, in your box you only have 2 NICS, if both are WAN (which I'm assuming are connected directly from the modem to the NIC) how exactly does the LAN work? I see how it can in PfSense with virtual interfaces but I don't understand how your wired devices connect.
Excuse the n00bness![]()
So pfSense has 3 virtual NICs - vNIC1 (WAN1) is on NIC1 while vNIC2 (WAN2) and vNIC3 (LAN) are on NIC2.
I'm a noob myself so you're right at home
