Wish the electrician for my home builder knew of label makers. 14 cables in a box, 3 different colors of cables, none labeled. I paid $150 per ethernet outlet, and don't even get labels. The builder says just plug them all into a switch and it should work. Good thing I have an ethernet cable tester, I'd like to know what I'm sending PoE to before I plug it in. In my electric panel, I have 3 breakers labeled "???" and only 2 of the 4 bedrooms are listed on breakers.

Network and security admin here, at 17:01 can confirm. Exactly why I make backups before I make weird, possibly breaking changes. Also so happy most enterprise grade network switches forces you to to a copy running-config startup-config to save any changes. So worst case you just run really fast, unplug it, and plug it back in. (and then wait 5 minutes for it to power up making the running part a little stupid) Also yes, Router should be at the top if it's rackable. Our order is Router Core MDF switch o3x office switches rack with random ISP crap 3x big ass battery backups which we could scale down now since we have a generator now. Our patch panels are in a separate rack next to this.

I built my own router back when you didn't have a lot of choice. We'd just got a 1 MEGABIT connection and routers weren't a thing outside Cisco and businesses. Spec was: Pentium 75 32mb EDO RAM Dual Intel PCI 10baseT NICs Dual 1.44Mb floppies for the boot ROM (LRP Linux), giving us QoS and OpenVPN on top of routing and MAC spoofing. I think it was about 25 Years ago.

@@rybaluc Uh, maybe we added openvpn a few years later. First we had a 1.44mb floppy "ROM" Then, I added another floppy which gave us enough space to add TCP/IP QoS to keep latencies down for gaming and browsing even when using the megabit for downloading through Traffic Shaping. That also gave us enough space to run a local DNS cache which, at the time, gave us a massive perceived boost while web browsing. I suspect it was only later that we added OpenVPN routes to each others houses.

A court forced the pfsense dev lead to hand the domian over to opnsense and there was a bit of a change of leadership team at pfsense. But it was just such a douche move that it STILL hangs over their heads years later, and as such when looking at the two options I refused to support pfsense. Opnsense is also more 'open' license wise but thats only of marginal benefit.
