They’re not actually lower powered, they just have a TDP limit set.

E.g. A 8500 and 8500T will idle at the same power consumption, but the 8500T has a TDP limit set.

Maybe the old Dysons. The new ones are rubbish. Shark all the way.

My solution is the correct way and easier way. You don’t need MAC address white-list. You just have a guest SSID with DHCP on, they get the IP from the subnet in that zone. No crazy subnet hacks etc.

Can I join your guest network, sure. Let me just grab your mac address, login to the DHCP server, create a reservation with a limited subnet mask that can still see the default gateway.

Or can I connect to you guest network, sure here is the code or scan that QR code. That’s it, they’re in the guest VLAN and subnet, zoned off on the firewall and have QOS applied to not saturate the network.

This is not the way to do it. The correct way would be multiple SSID’s with each tagged to their own VLAN.

Each VLAN has its own subnet. You can then use a zone based firewall, to allow the zones(subnets) to access each other.

You can also then apply QOS, to limit guest network speeds, prioritize LAN traffic etc.

And zone based firewalls are stateful, you can do rules such as LAN can reach IOT, but not the other way. Or IOT can only reach the IOT server, on specific ports.

SFP+ is 10Gb/s not SFP. The ASIC needs to be capable of the speeds for the transceiver to work. SFP+ is the name given for 10Gb/s module and transceivers.

So if a device supports SFP+ it supports 10Gb/s. It doesn’t automatically mean it will work with 5 or 2.5Gb/s transceivers.

The UK has two modes of “fibre” FTTC fibre to cabinet. Then copper to your property. Or FTTP, fibre to premise, which is as you describe fibre right to your property.

Then you start getting things like Azure AD Sync etc. It’s best practice one domain per client. Not trying to make one domain work for multiple different clients.

He said 15 VM’s running for clients. Now you would want to secure these clients from each other, restrict east to west movement. Adding them all on the same domain introduces security risk, reducing them risk and hiding clients from one and other in the same domain would take lots of effort. So just don’t put yourself in that situation and use multiple domains one domain for each client.

Well by the sounds of it, he has multiple clients. So then we’re talking multiple domains in a forest. Securing it all and doing it properly.

So it’s a bit more than just running the domain setup wizard and joining the servers.

I am just waiting for your switch shelf to collapse. That’s some serious flex. :)

Valimail also has a free tier. We use the paid version and it was absolutely the best DMARC tool on the market, when we did our research. Depending on the reseller in your region depends on the price. We actually found it to be cheaper than most and offer the best feature set.
