This is my networking stuff - I had to mount all this a bit lower than the very top of the rack as I had wanted, because my Ethernet cables were just barely too short to reach the very top if I bundled them all up neatly on the sides. Go figure.
From top to bottom:
- Unifi AP-AC: I run a few wireless networks off of this to get into my LAN when I'm lazy and not at my desk. It works real well, especially since it lets me run several different SSIDs going into different VLANs. I use WPA2-Enterprise authentication against AD for my main network, then an SSID with a guest portal for guest wireless, and another one with plain WPA2 for IoT-type devices.
- Unifi Switch US-16-XG: 10Gb "backbone" switch. 16 sexy ports of 10Gb goodness, 4 of which are copper. One of the ports is configured as a trunk to my Catalyst 3560E.
- Cisco Catalyst 3560E: 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, plus two 10Gb ports. Pretty much everything is plugged in here. I have a little bit of a color scheme going on - black is management, green are 802.1q trunks, and blue are servers. The grey cord was the only cord I had laying around that could reach under my bed. :(
