At the heart of my home network

I recently upgraded my home network from 1G (Peplink Balance 20x + EdgeSwitch 10xp) to fiber 10G uplink + 2.5G LAN, with a new N100 pfSense firewall to a 10G × 2.5G LAN PoE switch:

  • Replaced Zabbix with Checkmk RAW.
  • Removed the 2u cooling fans and went with passive cooling using 1u vents.
  • 3u down is my new N100 powered pfSense box (gray).
  • 5u down kept the Peplink Balance 20x because the Wi-Fi signal is insanely powerful!
  • I got rid of the keyboard shelf that took up 1u previously. The keyboard is now connected by a coiled USB cable.
  • The old 1u keyboard shelf is used for the switch (top right).
  • To the left of the switch, a storage area for a flashlight, USB sticks, paper clips and other things.
