New Server Today
Posted in Uncategorized on January 23rd, 2009
Today I got my new quad core server in. This will host several Virtual systems.
I tried installing VMWare ESX but apparently they have no support for the processor I have in this system 
New server name was something my wife came up with.
She thought I should call it “Casino” because it had so many slots 
I liked it and it stuck.
I welcome Casino to the Lab.
New equipment in today
I’ve been shopping for the last couple weeks looking for new toys to put in GWLab. Last night my new layer 3 managed switch arrived. It will become the heart of GWLab’s network. This is especially nice since the Cisco 2950 I had been using was dying – ports failing left and right.
The router / switch is manufactered by Netgear (FSM7326P).
I made a few other purchases so there should be a few more posts about new equipment that has come in over the next couple weeks.

Hello world!
Posted in Uncategorized on January 4th, 2009
This is the base lab environment in which I work.
I will be posting various information about some of the projects I work on in my small test lab.
You can expect to see links to other sites that help me accomplish a project, detailed steps that lay out how a project was accomplished, network diagrams that provide logical overview of the project environment, etc.
Be patient as I will not be updating this site everyday.
Please feel free to email me with thoughts or add to the comments on this site.
