[0:01] Hello. Hello everyone. Welcome to Tower [0:05] Networking. Um, where I am networking a [0:07] tower. Yep. So, what this is, I'm [0:12] currently in the lab, as you can see, [0:14] since it's a easy. We'll go with that. [0:20] This game is a rogike built around [0:25] it networking. [laughter] [0:28] And so yeah, uh very very interesting [0:31] idea. I am super excited to see where [0:33] this goes. But I have been playing [0:36] around in the lab just kind of figure [0:38] out how the game works. I haven't [0:39] actually done a real run yet. [0:43] And so [0:45] that's what I'm looking to do. [0:52] So let's go ahead and we'll start a new [0:54] game. Go to scenarios, endless babble, [0:58] and we will set it to standard mode so [1:00] that I can actually lose. Well, [1:01] actually, I've managed to lose on zen [1:03] mode anyway. [1:05] That was embarrassing. Uh, but we're [1:07] going to play on standard. [1:11] Don't need to worry about that. [1:16] Yeah, this will be my first time [1:17] actually playing the full the the actual [1:20] game portion of this. [1:34] What was that? What? [1:47] Hold on. Hold on. You You wait. You [1:51] wait. [2:04] there. That's a good lazy announcement. [2:08] Excellent return. [2:14] Okay so [2:16] I have a limit of like a grace period of [2:19] a couple of days when you start [2:23] Uh let's get a survey of who is in the [2:26] tower right now. There are two floors [2:28] above us. [2:30] One appears to be three users and the [2:33] second floor is a [2:37] producer [2:39] company something like that and another [2:42] user. So [2:45] okay. Okay. Let's pick two of these [2:50] to map to upstairs. Damn it. Come on. [2:56] Uh [2:58] SPWP [2:59] and [3:02] uh BMQ. [3:04] Sure. Mhm. [3:11] And I suppose I should get things [3:13] ordered and plugged in a little bit. [3:16] Uh, I need at least four cables. [3:20] And hello there. Oh, it's good to be [3:22] back. Thank you. [3:26] The grand return. We'll do a little [3:29] computer networking. [3:32] Let's see. I need cables [3:36] first. A bunch of power cables. Uh, but [3:39] in planning ahead, [3:41] I'm going to buy a Is that worth it? How [3:45] much? 10k. [3:49] Maybe it's not worth it right now. [3:53] We're just going to go with raw power [3:55] cables. [4:00] I have a feeling those aren't long [4:01] enough. [4:03] We'll buy a big long one just in case. [4:07] And network cables. Uh, same thing just [4:11] to make sure. [4:14] And we're going to make them blue. [4:16] 500s. No, that's not long enough. [4:20] Five. 1,000. One, two, three, four, [4:23] five. Sure. Five. Yep. [4:27] Chip it. [4:35] Okay, let's get some stuff plugged in. [4:40] What was this? [4:42] 500. [4:46] Plug in the debugger. Oh, that's a long [4:49] one. [4:50] That's much longer than I needed. [4:54] I can always reuse it somewhere else. [4:56] Thousand,000. [5:04] I am just plugging them in. I am not [5:06] even worrying about a standard or [5:09] category or anything like that right [5:11] now. [5:12] Just no. No. Grab it. Grab it. Grab it. [5:17] Just plug them in. Okay. [5:21] And then make sure this is turned on. Is [5:24] my debugger active? [5:30] Uh, DND using [5:35] address 66577. [5:39] You can right click on them to Oops. [5:42] I meant to put the using. [5:46] Okay good. [5:48] And always [5:51] using that one. [5:54] So now I don't have to type it every [5:55] time. [5:58] Go away. [6:01] Okay. Up to the next floors. [6:03] Oh, next floor. [6:11] Okay, we got one user there. [6:16] Another user there and another one right [6:18] there. Oh, they're satisfied. They don't [6:20] even need the internet. They're happy. [6:22] Just as is. [6:26] Uh, if you hold T and then you see the [6:28] distance to something. Okay, that's [6:31] going to be right on the edge. Unless I [6:33] did 1,500 cable and I set this server [6:37] right there or set the switch right [6:40] there and then a,000 [6:43] and 1,000 [6:47] then a 500ish. [6:50] Okay, let's order a couple things. [6:57] I will need [7:00] what was it? 1500 cable. [7:03] I think it was. I'm going to I'm going [7:04] to hope it was. [7:08] And then there was 2,000s [7:12] and a 500 for the uplink. I'm going to [7:16] make that in red. I'm going to start [7:20] thinking about a standard. [7:22] Whether or not that standard stays, [7:26] we'll see. [7:29] Then I need power cable and a network [7:32] switch. [7:34] I don't think I need anything more than [7:35] this one. [7:51] You can sit in there and then you um I'm [7:56] going to flip around so it's closer. [8:01] Plug it in. [8:04] A blank [8:06] and then a,000 and a500. [8:10] That one. [8:13] Got it. Oh. Oh no. Come on. Come on. You [8:17] can do it. [8:20] Oh no. [8:23] Maybe a little closer to the edge. Will [8:25] that be okay? Come on. Really stretch [8:28] that cable. [8:33] Well, this isn't good. Might have to buy [8:36] a new cable. [8:38] Hey, I got it to work. All right. It's [8:40] It's a little stretch, but it'll work. [8:44] No. [8:46] Oh, come on. Not you, too. Not again. [8:51] All right. [laughter] [8:52] There we go. Good enough. It works. It [8:56] works, right? They're happy. [8:59] I'm I'm going to assume they're happy. [9:02] Oh, wait. I haven't hooked it up. [9:05] IW. [9:12] All right. IW. [9:15] And we're just going to go to the next [9:16] floor. [9:20] What do we have here? [9:23] Uh, we've got the chat hive [9:26] and one user way over here. What are you [9:29] doing man? [9:41] really don't want to use two ports [9:45] heading down. [9:48] I think I'm going to go with just two [9:49] switches instead, which is also [9:51] terrible, but they're cheap. [9:55] So, we're going to throw switches at the [9:56] solution. [10:02] How long are the cable? [10:07] Yeah, I'm done. Yeah, just [10:11] just order some. [10:14] There's two of those. [10:18] And I probably need at least Yeah, 1500 [10:21] for that. [10:23] It's going to be a red [10:26] a link between them. [10:30] And [10:33] what's going to be the port I use to [10:36] connect back down? It's going to have to [10:38] be that one. [10:40] Does that reach [10:43] with a 2000? It does. [10:49] Well, let's try it. [10:53] That's everything, right? I hope that [10:56] was everything. [10:58] I don't recall. [11:01] >> All I knew was order things and hope for [11:03] [music] the best. [11:21] Okay. [11:23] Wait a minute. I didn't order that many [11:25] red cables. [11:27] Oh, I must have decided to make them all [11:28] red [11:30] because I changed what the color was. I [11:33] was hoping I could add a red one to the [11:34] order of the 2000, but it went No, not [11:38] how that works. [11:47] As long as I can get it to work, that's [11:50] what I care about. [11:55] Okay. So, this is EWGA. [12:00] EWGA. Okay. [12:05] And then a 2000 and a 2000. [12:10] These cables are way longer than I need [12:12] them to be. [12:14] I oversized it just a little bit. [12:20] Oh, can't forget to turn them on either. [12:22] Very important to remember to turn on [12:24] the switch. [12:28] >> All right, we'll go ahead back down to [12:30] first floor. Check make sure I plugged [12:32] everything in [12:34] and turned it on. Okay, everyone's [12:37] plugged in except for the VoIP phone, [12:39] but I'm not doing that yet. I don't [12:41] care. I hate working with VoIP phones. [12:51] What was I doing? Oh, I need to hook [12:54] these up. Okay, so [12:58] bring this down. [13:02] And tower link zero [13:06] SPWP to floor one. I'm going to go with [13:12] and that's going to be to EW. [13:18] Just a regular copper line. Then this [13:20] one to BMKQ [13:24] floor 2 EWG and I can't pick the other [13:27] one because the other one is a fiber [13:29] link. [13:31] So not able to take advantage of that [13:33] one. I might want to use the fiberlink [13:35] in future for that service because it's [13:38] a like a server instead [13:43] and so it's going to have a lot of [13:44] traffic heading into it. [13:56] Okay. What's in here? [14:04] Okay. [14:06] Let's make a sun. [14:10] Reduce power cost by 20%. [14:14] I don't know if that's worth it. [14:18] Better dark than magic smoke. Uh, I [14:22] guess. [14:27] All right. What's the next thing I need [14:29] to do? [14:31] I need to install DNS on the server. [14:34] That's what I need to do. Okay. [14:38] Uh here. [14:41] Actually, first thing I'm going to want [14:42] to do is assign a name to the server. [14:47] Oh, what is it? Um, [14:49] no, it's net [14:53] net address set [14:57] at DNS on [15:01] 46 346. [15:04] Okay. So now I can refer to that as DNS [15:09] and it will show it in here in the [15:10] devices when I scan it. [15:13] And hello there to you. It has been. [15:17] Welcome back. [15:20] I'm doing a little network management. [15:24] This is a neat little game. It's trying [15:26] to be a rogike as a [15:30] network engineer. Very interesting idea. [15:42] So let's see program list. [15:46] I need the DNS light server. [15:53] Oh, I'm doing well now. [15:56] Mostly it's just been schedule shifts [15:58] have made it really difficult to find a [16:00] good time to stream. But I'm hoping to [16:02] start getting more in now. [16:06] Get coffee. [16:12] The way computer people name things is [16:16] I mean I understand it [laughter] [16:19] but it will never not be kind of just uh [16:24] all right let's see [16:27] program install DNS light on at DNS [16:34] and then start [16:42] Okay, so now I have that up and running [16:44] and I need to make a DNS entry for that [16:47] one server or that one service. Uh, I [16:51] don't have it marked in there. Should go [16:53] do that. [16:55] You can add items to the clipboard. [16:59] Yep. You unlock better networking [17:02] equipment [17:04] and you [17:08] have like um different bonuses you can [17:11] receive as you play. Like you want to [17:15] put money towards this open-source [17:18] project and it will give you a command [17:20] later on that you can use to simplify [17:23] your network in some way. Or you might [17:26] get access to say firewalls early to [17:28] deal with worms on the network. [17:32] Really interesting ideas here. [17:37] And I've already accidentally screwed up [17:38] this floor because I ordered all the [17:40] same color cable on accident. [17:44] So this is going great [17:49] or annoying depending on your mood. [17:50] [laughter] [17:53] Yeah, I I know Unix and Linux [17:56] enough. [17:58] I can use command line. I can edit and [18:02] write in Vim. Um [18:05] I've had to write machine code before, [18:07] that sort of thing, but it's not an [18:09] everyday thing I do. Yes, this the cable [18:12] spaghetti is my favorite part. It really [18:15] helps sell it. Like it's going to be a [18:17] mess in no time. [18:23] Uh let's see. Okay, so in the clipboard [18:25] then I've got this one and I need to [18:27] make a DNS entry for it so that the [18:30] users can get to it. [18:34] Right. DNS map [18:38] site. [18:40] Uh [18:42] as [18:45] I think I need to put in their address. [18:52] Okay. And then I can check surveyor. And [18:56] it's active. All right. [19:02] And they're happy. [19:04] They have over the number of users they [19:06] can handle. [19:08] Good for them. [19:10] But yeah, there's a couple of things in [19:12] here. So, there is [19:15] a set of items that you can unlock or a [19:17] set of apps within your little tablet [19:20] here that you can unlock. One gives you [19:22] access to sticky notes that you can [19:25] write to leave notes to yourself. Like [19:27] if I wanted to mark this is for floor [19:30] two, this is for floor one. or if I [19:32] wanted to mark on my server that this is [19:34] the DNS server, that sort of thing. Uh, [19:37] if you hover over them, it does show you [19:39] it. But if you need a quick reference, [19:41] you can do that. Uh, racking so that you [19:44] can buy new server racks, um, new little [19:48] shelves to put somewhere. [19:51] A music player that is a reference [19:56] classic. A network graph system. That is [19:59] actually kind of cool. [20:02] um socket system. Add more socket to the [20:05] wall, [20:07] that sort of stuff [20:09] in the market. There is everything. [20:14] And it continues and you get you find [20:16] you get more as the game progresses like [20:19] companies release new things. [20:28] So, like in the switch category, I only [20:30] have these five to pick from right now, [20:32] and they're very simple ones. Um, there [20:35] are two of them that are rack mount [20:43] and [20:45] only one of them is mixed media. [20:50] uh mixed media being it can take fiber [20:53] connections and Ethernet connections, [21:00] but it has some good simplifications and [21:03] spots. At first, it was a little strange [21:05] for me to get used to the whole network [21:08] addresses being five digits instead of [21:10] the octet system we use, but this is [21:13] better. Honestly, there's no need to do [21:15] anything else. And when thinking about [21:17] it, the octet, the octic system is [21:20] arbitrary in the first place for what we [21:22] needed. So using an arbitrary system [21:25] here works as well, just as well. [21:29] But as the game progresses each day, you [21:32] get payment from the floors for meeting [21:35] their needs [21:38] and the tower will expand [21:42] and it will tell you when or you can [21:44] tell it to do it automatically. [21:47] So this one's going to have it looks [21:49] like three users on it, but it will only [21:52] tell you what one of them is going to [21:54] be. [21:55] Oh, looks like there's another flow [21:57] that's going to happen. [21:59] the recycling floor. Okay, so that one [22:01] will have a recycling center. I think [22:03] all I need to do with that one is [22:04] similar to the other, just set it up [22:06] with a DNS entry, connect it to the [22:08] system. [22:16] Yes, in here are proposals. This game [22:18] just released into early access, so [22:22] I'm really excited to see where they [22:24] take it. And I'm hoping they lean heavy [22:27] onto the roglike aspect. Um, there's all [22:30] kinds of things that they could do with, [22:32] say, finding network switches that you [22:36] can get them really cheap, but maybe one [22:38] or two of the ports don't work [22:39] correctly, like they only get 50% [22:42] capacity on them. Things like that. [22:44] There are little things that you could [22:45] do to help [22:48] Add those elements of randomness. [22:52] Break time. No, I don't need break time. [22:54] I'm I'm good. What day is it? Day two at [22:57] 2:00 a.m. [23:02] Harmonious ocelot. [23:04] Okay. [23:06] Thunderous cheetah. Unpleasant badger. I [23:09] know that one. [23:14] Yeah, they definitely have some uh [23:16] interesting names. [23:18] Okay, let's see here. [23:21] So, if I'm going to prep for another [23:23] floor before those are even built, [23:27] it will automatically accept it on day [23:29] five and it will build it automatically. [23:33] But I can take a little bit of time and [23:36] prepare. [23:38] So, let's think about that. I'm going to [23:41] want to expand this. I need more ports. [23:46] And I'm going to need to turn two more [23:49] of these ports [23:52] into [23:54] links to the other floors. That's kind [23:56] of how you manage getting to the other [23:59] floors. [24:00] Is there a cable management system? [24:04] Your own forethought [24:07] is the best way to put it. So like color [24:09] coding coming up with a standard of [24:12] servers are always connected by a green [24:14] cable sort of idea or uplinks to the [24:17] wall are red while links between [24:21] switches are done in yellow. [24:24] It's much more old school in terms of [24:28] how to deal with it. It strikes me as [24:31] early 2000s [24:33] network management [24:35] before there was a lot of [24:39] the understandings that we've learned [24:42] and why we don't do it those ways [24:44] anymore. [24:50] Let's see. I'm going to buy a 10 port [24:52] switch [24:55] and another five port. [24:58] I'm going to get power cable for that [25:01] one and a power cable for the other one. [25:08] And I'm going to start doing a little [25:11] bit more thought into [25:13] how I wire these. I'm going to go ahead [25:15] and swap some of these out for other [25:17] colors so that I can keep it organized a [25:19] bit better. [25:22] These ones I'm going to do in green. I [25:24] am going to go with these units are in [25:27] green. [25:33] And I've got a couple of the days to [25:35] think it over before it auto accepts the [25:37] next floor. [25:49] Okay. And go ahead and toss that there. [25:53] We got this one. [25:57] I'm just going to put it there. [26:02] Link and [26:04] link. [26:07] Okay. [26:10] Actually, I could even just put this one [26:11] right here for now. [26:14] This is my stack. [26:20] Maybe it is time I get something to plug [26:23] all of these into better. [26:28] I'm going to get a power expander. [26:32] We'll go with this one. [26:53] Although I forget I do need to get [26:55] something to plug it in with. [27:03] Okay, I guess I'll go with that one [27:04] first [27:06] just to get it plugged in. And I need to [27:08] order another power cable now. [27:11] Are there any short ones of the [27:17] No, there isn't. [27:23] Guess I'll just order a couple so I have [27:24] them. [27:35] I also like that you can unplug a cable [27:37] just by yanking it. [27:40] Do not do that. [laughter] [27:44] This one. [27:48] Oh, and you can use the boxes to store [27:50] them again. [28:04] Okay, hook that up. [28:08] Oh, I do need one more [28:12] little network cable. [28:15] Did I do that right? No, I did not. [28:22] Everything's plugged in, right? Okay. [28:25] Okay, I think everything's plugged in [28:27] now. [28:41] What's the distance here? [28:43] Under 1,000 over 500. [28:49] Okay, [28:52] I guess let's accept the next floor. [28:56] We shall push it ahead on our own. [29:12] All right, let's take a look at this. [29:14] Actually, I got to write down what one [29:16] it's going to go to first. Probably this [29:19] one up at the top. [29:22] I don't need to mark these anymore. [29:26] Is that what that was? [29:31] Yes. [29:33] A really strange apple. [29:39] All right, let's go find on floor three [29:42] one that we can use. [29:47] Okay, there are three here. Are they all [29:50] just users? [29:54] Okay, they're all just users. That's [29:56] good. [30:01] Oh. Oh, yeah. Mr. Special over here got [30:04] the fiber run into his apartment. Yeah, [30:07] sure. Mhm. [30:12] Okay. [30:16] I will need to buy the rack software [30:22] so that I can install a rack. Actually, [30:26] I'm just going to install this a shell [30:33] and one over here. [30:41] And there. I'm just going to toss in a [30:43] media converter because they're not [30:46] special enough to for me to warrant [30:47] using a link for them. No, not [30:49] happening buddy. [30:51] Not happening. [31:00] You get a media converter and that's [31:02] what you get. [31:16] I'm going to end up needing two of those [31:17] anyway. [31:19] Buy a network switch. [31:22] I don't know what I need yet. I'm just [31:23] going to buy one. [31:26] When all else fails, throw a switch at [31:28] it. [31:32] Is that everything? [31:38] I'm just going to order and see what I [31:40] got. [31:43] Oh, I need to order a fiber optic cable [31:46] under a,000. [31:53] Oh, they don't even sell it at that [31:54] 1,500. It is. [32:20] Uhoh. I didn't realize there wasn't a [32:21] power outlet there. [32:26] This might not work so well if I just [32:29] kind of lean it over a bit. Maybe this [32:33] maybe this will be fine. It's going to [32:35] be fine. [32:37] [laughter] [32:37] That's fine. [32:39] Sure. That's fine. [32:47] It'll get there. [32:50] Oh. [32:54] >> [laughter] [32:54] >> I like being able to flip them upside [32:56] down. It's so awful. And it's perfect. [33:02] Yeah. Ju just don't mind the cable [33:04] sagging across your door as you come [33:05] home. [33:07] You wanted the internet, right? [33:13] Well, don't complain about how you get [33:15] it. [33:20] What? [33:25] Oh fine. [33:30] Okay. Scheduled power outage. Not really [33:33] much I can do about because I'm using [33:34] two pieces of equipment. It would be too [33:36] expensive to get [33:39] multiple backups at this point. So, [33:43] that's not what they're getting. They [33:44] get to have a power outage. [33:59] Okay, that one's ordered. And then I [34:01] need [34:05] GSWR. We'll go to that one. [34:16] What was it on zero? I was going to use [34:18] a YPL. Okay. Then 23 PSWR. [34:25] Got it. [34:31] Did the power go out? [34:35] Nope. [34:45] All right, there's one. [34:47] And there's this uplink here. [35:02] I'm going to have a couple users. [35:06] We got one in blue. for that point. [35:12] Another one for over there. [35:16] I need to consider adding the VoIP [35:17] phones soon. I can make a little bit of [35:19] extra money on those by running my own [35:21] service. [35:28] And what was this one? [35:31] Under a thousand. [35:35] All right. [35:37] Red cable here. [35:42] Red cable there. [36:01] And there we go. [36:03] Everyone's hooked up. Awesome. [36:09] Now, did I remember to actually hook it [36:10] up on the bottom floor? I don't think I [36:13] did. [36:15] I don't think I did. [36:22] I did not. I did not. [36:26] So, for now, it's getting one of these. [36:29] I will fix that at some point. [36:36] I do not know when. [36:45] All right. Now, let's check and make [36:46] sure everybody is happy. [36:50] Okay, they are mostly happy. [36:55] Now, let's check saturation on these [36:57] floors. How are they doing? [37:01] They're doing okay. [37:05] I think there's a VoIP phone on one of [37:07] those floors. I could probably add that. [37:11] And then I can go ahead and start the [37:12] VoIP service. Okay. Yep. Yep. There's [37:14] one right here. [37:22] No. [37:24] That one. [37:28] And then 1,000 in blue. [37:33] Come on. Give me, give me, give me, give [37:35] me. [37:37] Gotcha. [37:42] All right, that's connected. Now, those [37:45] won't actually do anything until I take [37:47] the time to put together the server for [37:50] it. [37:52] But I have two of them on the network [37:54] now. And I think I can actually see [37:57] them. If I do, maybe. [38:00] No, this Oh, no. It's um scan users. [38:06] Is that it? [38:08] Oh, that's not it. How do I see devices [38:11] that are not use that are not my [38:14] devices? [38:17] Public VIP phone got a different name to [38:20] it. [38:27] Oh. Oh, I see. [38:32] Scan and all. There we go. [38:35] That's what I want to be able to see. [38:40] All right. Uh, there is a public VIP [38:42] phone. And where's the other one? [38:46] Oh, there it is. Okay. [38:49] What are those classified as? [38:53] They're not users. [38:58] Taps maybe. [39:05] No. [39:08] Oh well, not important right now. [39:14] We are going to go double check. Make [39:16] sure there's not another phone on this [39:18] floor. Nope, this one's fine. [39:33] All right, I need a server. [39:38] How much money do I got? [39:50] Oh, shoot. What is it? What What does [39:52] the VoIP server use? [40:03] All right. CPU load of five, [40:07] install size of five, memory size of [40:10] two. [40:13] Okay. So, I can't use [40:16] the cheapest server for this one. Means [40:19] I have to go one server up. [40:23] Yes, this is four CPU. [40:30] Okay, we're just going to buy the next [40:32] level up. [40:36] Bit expensive. [40:46] And do I want to entertain putting a [40:49] surge unit on this one? [40:53] I'm going to start I think investing in [40:56] them. [40:58] It's hard because the warranties on them [41:00] are very very [41:02] quick. Like a 5day warranty. [41:12] Come on. [41:14] There we go. Server. [41:16] And I suppose I could toss it on here, [41:18] but that might get confusing. [41:22] Yeah whatever. [41:25] I will hook up both servers to it. Oh, [41:27] that don't fit. [41:33] Okay, [41:35] well, let's fix that. That was really [41:37] good for the hard drive. [41:40] [laughter] [41:41] Yep, that went well. I suppose I maybe [41:44] should turn it. That might help. [41:48] Or maybe just not try to cram it in [41:50] there. But I'm going to try again [41:51] anyway. [42:02] Well, it had already unplugged. [42:04] Everybody that was trying to connect to [42:05] it is already having issues. They'll be [42:07] fine. [42:16] Really? [42:21] Okay, now I need Whoops, that is the [42:23] wrong thing. Nope, I need another [42:27] network cable 500 in green. [42:32] Send it. [42:36] Well, that's on its way. Let's figure [42:39] out what this is and assign it an [42:40] address. [42:49] Vo [42:50] on [42:53] that. [42:55] No, that's not right. [42:57] Oh, I haven't even connected it. That [43:00] would be why it's not working. Yeah, [43:03] that makes sense. I didn't hook it up. [43:10] Usually pretty important to hook it up. [43:15] Why is my thing making noises? [43:21] What? [43:24] Oh, it's pulling too much power. I see. [43:27] I see. Oops. [43:31] Okay. Um, [43:36] well, that's not hooked up much yet, so [43:38] it's fine. [43:42] I guess we will go with [43:47] this is getting put up here. [43:52] Did this This works. [43:55] This works. [43:58] Yeah, we'll go with that. [44:05] Power outage on floor three. I hope [44:07] they're okay with that cuz I can't help [44:10] them. [44:18] All right. So, let's go ahead and assign [44:20] the address on this. [44:25] There we go. [44:36] Did I lose this one? Where's my DNS [44:38] server? [44:41] Don't tell me I lost my DNS server. [44:47] Okay, [44:49] we'll see. [45:09] All right. So now we got to install the [45:14] VoIP server program [45:18] on that server. Okay. Program install [45:23] VIP server on [45:26] that boy. Okay. [45:29] And then start it. I think it's set to [45:32] auto start, but on some difficulties it [45:34] doesn't. So, I'm just going with the [45:37] habit of you start it yourself. [45:49] All right. So, that is set. It knows [45:50] it's at that. And then the next step is [45:54] I have to purchase [45:57] a [45:59] website register [46:02] or I have to register a domain name. [46:08] speak phone [46:11] and you can pay a whole 6 something. [46:17] Stream voice. Is that the right one? [46:21] I think it is. [46:23] I'm going to go with it's at [46:28] Oh, [46:31] com.net. [46:39] and confirm. [46:42] All right. So then on our network we are [46:45] going to assign that address to that [46:48] server. [46:51] I can never remember exactly how [46:55] DNS map. [46:58] What was it? Speak speak phone [47:03] as VoIP. [47:06] There we go. Now I should [47:11] see those go active and I should be [47:13] making a little bit of money. [47:18] I made a little bit of money. [47:25] Not a lot of money. Just a little. [47:42] All right, next floor. [47:49] I'm going to add one of these, [47:53] I guess. Let's just go with that one. [47:55] Phaser. [47:59] what it looks like to me anyway. [48:05] E H ZR. [48:22] All right. Recycling floor [48:26] says on day seven it'll automatically be [48:28] built. I'm on day four right now. [48:32] And the recycling floor has um extra [48:35] use. Um you can take equipment up there [48:39] and get money from it. Uh empty boxes, [48:43] too. [48:49] So, let's go take a look at this and see [48:51] what I'm dealing with. [48:56] We got one VIP phone. [49:00] Oh. Oh, that's good. It's all on this [49:03] side. [49:05] That's a nice easy one. [49:08] All right. So, this is just going to be [49:09] a [49:11] a shelf. [49:19] Good enough. [49:22] And it don't need nothing fancy. We're [49:25] just going to go with a cheap one. [49:32] We're just doing that one. [49:36] I don't trust that it would be the right [49:38] length if I didn't. [49:41] I mean, I could probably get it to fit. [49:43] Now we're going to try. Whatever. We'll [49:45] do it. [49:51] Then network cables. [49:55] 500 a 1,00 uplink. [50:02] Oh, I might be able to get away with a [50:04] 500 for there. [50:06] We'll see. [50:15] All right. Ship it. [50:37] Let's go ahead and connect that. [50:40] MBMN. [50:46] So that was going to be from phaser [50:52] to that one. [51:01] Anyway, hook these up. [51:04] [laughter] [51:05] Yes. Yes, that is uh that is definitely [51:08] a thing. Some people definitely should [51:10] not. [51:13] Hey, I got it to I got it to work. [51:17] Just by a couple clicks, I got it there. [51:21] All right, linked. We'll go ahead and [51:23] sell this. [51:25] All you do is you drop stuff in front of [51:27] the big door and then you hit the [51:28] button. Boom. Then it eats it and it [51:31] give you money. [51:38] What does that say? Fish supplies. Fish [51:40] supplies. Okay, sure. [51:45] Power outage on floor three. Well, that [51:47] sucks. [51:49] Anyway, [51:57] oh updates. [52:00] Some companies released some new [52:02] products. the server shop, [52:05] new servers, [52:08] and the one company mentioned, [52:12] who was it in here? [52:14] Conduit Systems. I believe they're like [52:16] the Cisco analog. [52:39] And hello to you as well. [52:45] You can say hi back. [52:48] I am the bee who say hi. [52:54] I guess I'll change this out for red. [53:02] That should let us put that one online. [53:09] Come in. Here you go. Drag yourself over [53:12] here. [53:14] Good little cable. You got it. [53:20] Now, let's check if it's on. [53:23] Scan users. [53:27] I don't remember. Was it what it was? [53:29] Was it variable fish? Is that what it [53:31] was? [53:35] It was. It was variable fish. All right. [53:38] So we want to map the DNS forum [53:45] as as [53:51] 92302. [53:55] Okay, good. That one is set. [54:06] All right, that is four floors hooked [54:09] up. [54:14] Then we have a residential floor and a [54:16] software nexus. [54:22] Huh? [54:26] What does the grace days mean? [54:29] It means like how long they can be [54:31] without service before they get angry [54:33] and you lose. But I don't know if it [54:36] means in the beginning or if they like [54:40] lost power. [54:52] Well, I guess let's hook up these other [54:54] two just to get ready. [54:58] Three connections. Three. Two. Two more [55:01] connections. Two more connections. [55:03] That's what I'm going to do. [55:13] How old is this stuff getting? Warranty [55:15] expired. [55:17] Warranty four more days. [55:24] I'm still doing okayish. [55:40] And there we go. I love the cabling. [55:42] It's the best part. [55:46] It's all really good, but the cabling [55:49] being like it is really adds that extra [55:52] something to this game. [56:00] I'm really hoping they focus a bit more [56:02] on the roglike elements. I think that'll [56:04] be one of the [56:06] strong ways to build this out. But this [56:09] is a super interesting concept. [56:12] This ever expanding tower where you just [56:16] have to constantly build and adapt to [56:18] it. And there's all kinds of other [56:21] equipment to use like network routers [56:24] where you have to actually set up the [56:26] routes. You have to program in the [56:27] routes that you wanted to use. And I had [56:31] in the lab where I experimented with [56:32] just if that's all I had and I wanted to [56:35] use it as a switch up towards an end [56:38] point, what did I need to do to make it [56:41] do that? And you can do that. That's an [56:43] option. Don't do that. [56:46] It's not a great option. [56:53] Okay. So, we got these two here. Z E G [56:59] and Z M I B. [57:03] I'm going to earmark these for [57:09] floor six [57:11] and floor five. [57:17] How much money I got? 5,500. [57:21] Cable droop physics. It is a good thing. [57:26] Hey, at least I'm making money. Can [57:29] versus should. Yes, [57:35] I am making a little bit of money from [57:37] my VOIPE service. [57:39] Not a lot, but a little. [57:42] Oh, I don't care. Mark all is red. [57:44] That's what I do with my emails at work. [57:49] I hate emails. I can't stand them. [57:55] We need a better solution than emails. [58:06] I could sit and wait, make some money [58:10] over these couple of days. [58:13] But where's the fun in that? [58:16] Build it. Build it. [58:23] We push forward. [58:28] Be push forward. [58:32] Who knocked over the trash? [58:35] Who does that? [58:39] Oh, this is a big one. [58:41] feel like they'd mind if I slap a like [58:43] shelf right in the middle of their [58:46] murder board. I don't know what this is. [58:51] Oh, big open area right here. [58:55] You know, this is the kind of spot where [58:56] if you wanted to, you could set up a [58:59] small network interconnect right here if [59:02] you wanted to segment your flooring. So [59:05] say 0 through 4 are all handled by floor [59:10] zero. [59:12] Uh 5 through 10 or 5 through 9 are all [59:16] handled by floor five. [59:19] That sort of thing. And then 0 and five [59:20] would be linked. Five and 10 would be [59:22] linked. And you would continue that sort [59:24] of pattern. [59:29] But anyway, let's get these hooked up. [59:30] We got one, two, three, four, and [59:35] they're all Ethernet. Oh, thank you. [59:39] Fantastic. Okay, so how long is this [59:42] one? [59:45] Too long. [59:48] So, that one's going to be the difficult [59:50] one. [60:00] cuz I can go up to 2,000 [60:03] for a Ethernet cable. [60:08] So, it won't quite reach. [60:11] I don't want to have to use another [60:13] piece of equipment in here, but I think [60:15] I'm going to have to [60:17] unless I find a different location to [60:19] put it into, but then I'm going to run [60:21] into issues trying to get power to it. [60:27] I think I'm just going to have to shove [60:29] in [60:31] two shelves and just make it work. [60:43] Oops. [60:47] I forgot I can't place down multiple [60:48] before it builds them. [60:53] Oh, they won't let me. [laughter] [60:55] Okay, I guess so. That makes sense. [61:05] All right. So, then I'm going to want [61:07] two network switches. [61:11] I really hope that's going to reach. [61:14] That should reach. [61:17] I feel like I'm saying the same exact [61:19] things I do in my regular job. I really [61:21] hope that reaches. This is why I run [61:24] like an extra 10 ft on my Ethernet runs. [61:34] You get it. You see it wrong enough [61:36] times and you just get paranoid for the [61:37] rest of your life about it. [61:45] Okay, I'm just going to make the rest of [61:47] these. [61:48] I don't remember how many I needed. [61:53] It's fine. I'll make it work. [62:09] It is very humorous to me that I can [62:11] flip them upside down. It's so perfect. [62:14] Like [laughter] [62:17] I'd be so upset that I had to too. I [62:19] would hate it cuz it's like it it [62:22] doesn't line up with the other stuff. [62:26] It's like oh now all the tabs are upside [62:27] down. [62:36] All right. Turn that one on. Grab this [62:38] yellow green cable. [62:43] I hope they don't mind. [62:46] It's this big sagging cable across your [62:48] door. [62:51] [laughter] [62:53] Yep. Yep. Ain't that how it goes? [62:57] Uh, it is fun though when you find a [62:59] game that can make your work seem fun. [63:04] To be fair, I do find my work fun [63:06] sometimes. It's still good. I enjoy what [63:08] I do. [63:11] Let's see. Which one of these do I want [63:12] to hook up to? actually might use this [63:14] one. [63:17] This is floor five, right? [63:22] Yes, this is floor five. [63:28] So on floor five, I want it to go to [63:31] GSJT. [63:33] And on floor zero, it's going to be ZIB. [63:39] Got it. [63:43] Now, where's all my cable in [63:48] a small red one for right there? [63:58] I'm waiting for those to arrive. I'll [63:59] just go ahead and start hooking things [64:00] up. [64:13] I hope that's enough. I think it might [64:15] be too many. Actually, I don't need this [64:18] one. [64:23] I do need it over here, though. [64:30] And that one red cable. There we go. [64:34] Awesome. [64:39] All hooked up. Floor. Good. You guys [64:42] happy? Y'all happy? Are they happy yet? [64:48] I don't think they're happy yet. [65:00] I think it says they have internet. [65:03] Do they have internet? [65:07] What's this say? [65:09] User is inactive. Okay, I see. [65:13] I see. [65:16] Now pays $500 per outage surge event. [65:22] Eliminates all future collaboration. [65:25] All items sold by them is 10% more [65:28] expensive. [65:30] Oh, I see. [65:32] request for a new data center. So, this [65:35] is one where when you get it, it will [65:38] put a new floor on the tower that is [65:41] just full of racking and um tower links [65:46] and you'll basically use it as an extra [65:48] data center in the tower. [65:56] I kind of want to grab this one. [66:00] the power outages and stuff that would [66:03] add up. [66:05] I'm going to do it. I'm doing it. [66:12] On day nine, I will get a software nexus [66:16] is what it says. [66:28] You'll go with this floor. [66:31] Go ahead and take this with us. [66:35] Okay, I think I'm good. [66:50] Oh, that's that's not a table. [66:53] That table doesn't exist. It's not [66:54] there. [66:57] Overload. [67:01] Overload. What does that mean? What does [67:03] it mean? I don't I don't understand what [67:05] the overload means. [67:08] Oh. Oh. [67:12] Oh. [67:14] That's not great. [67:18] All right, we're going to upgrade the [67:20] internet for him. There you go. [67:23] O, that's that's a big up in daily cost. [67:27] That's a lot higher. [67:34] I think this one might be the only other [67:36] floor everyone want to do that with [67:37] right now. [67:47] Trade cost. New daily cost. It's already [67:49] cat 5 copper. [67:51] What are you talking about? New daily [67:52] cost. That is the cost. [67:58] Unless it's [68:01] Oh, I accidentally paid for the really [68:03] expensive one instead. Okay. Or wait, [68:06] what? Okay. I'm just confused. [68:11] Maybe it's just buggy. Maybe it's just [68:12] buggy. We'll go with that. [68:16] Or zero to zero link down. What? Why is [68:20] it down? [68:22] I just I just hooked it up. [68:33] Oh, okay. There we go. [68:55] All right, we'll see how that goes. [68:57] Reactivate. Come on. I need all of them [69:00] up. [69:06] Whoa. Okay. I was wondering why that was [69:08] a different color. [69:12] Maybe it means there's an issue with it. [69:16] I don't know. I don't know how to read [69:17] it. [69:19] I have not played this game enough to [69:21] fully understand it. [69:25] I am really enjoying what I have played [69:27] though. [69:35] Let's go ahead and we'll add on another [69:38] part of the building. [69:51] All right, let's take a look at this [69:52] one. [69:55] What do we got? [69:59] Oh boy. What is this? Oh, we got some [70:02] security equipment, too. [70:15] Okay, I see [70:18] software company. [70:26] Where are all the connections? Look like [70:27] there's not all that many. There's just [70:29] these two with one device. [70:34] Tower worker. What do they need to be [70:37] happy? What do they need to be happy? [70:40] What makes them happy? [70:45] All right. They want to be able to [70:46] stream CCTV footage. [70:52] I believe that has to be done through a [70:53] server that's connected to that device. [70:57] And they want to be able to validate [71:00] digital payment. [71:06] I I think that's actually done by the [71:09] recycling center. [71:13] They authenticate transaction [71:17] update software. [71:25] What is 8 update software? What does [71:27] that even mean? How do I put in a [71:30] software updater? [71:47] Man, I kind of just want to toss in this [71:49] mixed one and just say screw it. [71:53] You know what? Screw it. [72:02] That's what we're doing [72:10] network cable [72:18] and then a couple of these. 1,500. [72:27] I'm going to need at least [72:30] two 1,00s. [72:33] I'm just going to Well, I kind of want [72:36] to use the [72:38] copper right now, but maybe I'm better [72:40] off doing a different one. I'm better [72:43] off making use of that fiber optic [72:45] connection. [72:50] I think I might just want to do that [72:52] instead. [72:57] Uh, what is this? Floor six. [73:02] H say [73:15] Actually, [73:27] what's the power usage on this thing? [73:35] And it doesn't say there [73:40] 66. [73:44] All right, I'll just go with a regular [73:45] surf then. [73:49] I probably should have ordered cables, [73:51] will it? [74:10] Okay. [74:25] And this one here up to here. Turn that [74:29] on. [74:31] Fiber optic cable to here. [74:34] And fiber optic cable to here. [74:41] I guess I should add one more of this [74:44] 500. [74:55] Now, usually the way I would do it in [74:57] the real world is security equipment I [75:00] would wire in purple or yellow [75:05] is usually a standard that's used. [75:13] Yellow's also typically used for [75:15] anything that uses PoE, but with so much [75:18] equipment moving towards PoE, [75:22] it's kind of become [75:25] less used for that reason. [75:32] Okay, so with this one, the way it works [75:34] is [75:36] this user wants access to CCTV footage [75:40] and they can't [75:44] directly access the device. I think you [75:46] have to set up a small server for them. [75:49] Well, I say small, it's a fairly [75:50] expensive server because it requires [75:52] enough storage. PoE is kind of magical. [75:54] I agree. I love PoE. [76:03] Yeah, PoE has been a fantastic [76:05] technology. And the amount of power you [76:07] can actually send through them now is [76:09] really impressive. [76:20] What was I doing? [76:23] I guess I'm at least going to head [76:25] downstairs and get this hooked up. [76:38] All right, I'm going to go with just a [76:40] good old media converter [76:45] cuz if I do anything else, it'll be [76:48] later. [76:53] We want to hit both direction. I'm going [76:55] to spring for one that's a little bit [76:57] more expensive. [77:04] Nope. That is the wrong cable. [77:07] I want that one. [77:18] Yep. [77:19] And PoE also great for things like [77:23] cameras, [77:25] especially since they can now support [77:26] pan tilt zoom. [77:28] Just awesome. [77:38] Even like display devices and things now [77:40] are moving towards PoE. [78:05] I'm going to go with that, I guess. [78:17] Wrong button. [78:20] Wrong button. [78:40] L AFR. [78:44] So LFR is going to connect to six on HZ [78:48] A Y connect. [78:56] You get the laser powerful enough to [78:58] power something. That would be an [79:00] interesting one. I suppose you could [79:02] connect like a uh little Uh oh. [79:06] Uh oh. Oh no. [79:09] I had I had a I had a had a switch burn [79:12] out. [79:19] Okay. Okay. Nothing to panic about [79:23] since I think I can actually just move [79:25] these cables up. [79:33] All right. Yeah, there we go. We're [79:36] fine. See, [79:40] I'm just go ahead and unplug that. Go [79:43] ahead and unplug that. Go ahead and move [79:46] this. [79:48] That's going to go to the trash. The [79:50] magic smoke came out. [79:54] Oops. That is the wrong thing. [79:56] At least that was the battery [79:59] instead of accidentally unplugging the [80:01] server. [80:03] Like, oop, server went down. [80:16] Okay. What do we got in here? Data [80:18] center thing. I don't need that. [80:22] I'm doing fine. [laughter] [80:24] It's going okay. [80:27] Everything is fine. [80:35] Don't need that. Don't need that. This [80:37] is too many boxes. I don't need that [80:39] many boxes. [80:41] Uh recycling was on floor four, right? [80:46] I think so. [80:50] [laughter] This cable, right? Oh, no. [80:57] There's a test related to that I'm a big [80:59] fan of called the scream test. [81:03] And it's the issue of if you're ever [81:05] unsure if something is connected to [81:07] something, unplug it. And if you hear [81:10] somebody scream, it was plugged into [81:12] something. [81:15] If nobody screams, then it was fine. [81:20] $13. [81:34] Everything's still good in here. [81:37] My fancy switch. [81:42] Oops. I need to hook that up. Actually, [81:46] I got to set a DNS for that. [81:53] All right, that's going to be this one. [81:58] Software critical as [82:02] 6 5 6 3 4. [82:07] There we go. [82:10] If they're screaming and then silence, [82:12] it may have been really important. This [82:15] is true. [82:27] Okay. Okay. I think we're good. They're [82:31] happier. [82:33] We go with that. They're not so happy. [82:38] They want CCTV. They're just like, I [82:40] want to sit and watch videos all day. [82:44] Well, I guess let's look into a server [82:46] for them. [82:49] Let's see. [82:52] Uh, it's that RTSP1, [82:56] I think. [83:03] Uh, support surveillance monitoring [83:05] services. [83:08] allow surveillance accessories to be [83:09] connected to produce stream live video [83:13] uses, [83:14] which I believe is what they're looking [83:16] for. Stream live video. [83:26] Yes. [83:28] Okay. So, that is what I need to do. I [83:31] need to set that up. And I need one that [83:33] will support 10 storage space. That's [83:36] the thing that really makes it expensive [83:39] cuz most of these are not anywhere near [83:42] that. 8 6 4 [83:46] 6 [83:48] 5 8 [laughter] [83:50] 10 here we go. 1750. O [83:56] All right. [83:58] B would it be? [84:03] Okay. Okay. And then I'm going to want a [84:07] extra network cable for it. [84:16] Actually, can I get away with a couple [84:17] of these? [84:20] Maybe. [84:23] I'm not going to risk it. I'm just going [84:24] to buy a couple of these. [84:29] Okay, there we go. Got it. [84:32] Now we just wait and we hook it up. [84:38] Where's my server? Thank you. [84:49] Oh no, I got an SLA violation and I [84:53] failed. [laughter] [84:56] Dual power input. Realistic. [85:00] So what happened? SLA violation for user [85:03] Frosty Monkey. [85:07] I survived eight days in operation. [85:11] I was a really effective network [85:12] engineer. [85:15] So improvements that could be made would [85:19] be an easier method of knowing [85:23] when users are unhappy like that. There [85:25] is a monitor that you can buy and set up [85:28] in your office, but it's a little bit [85:31] difficult to read and doesn't really [85:34] make a whole ton of sense. So, I think a [85:37] more built into the interface kind of [85:39] way of knowing when somebody's unhappy [85:41] could be good. [85:43] Overall though, I really like the [85:44] direction this is heading and I think [85:46] this is a really fun game. [85:50] So, yeah, if you're interested, I [85:52] recommend checking it out. I'm actually [85:53] gonna go ahead and hop back into this. I [85:55] want to see what user that was. It was [85:58] what? Frosty Monkey. Was that what it [86:00] was? [86:02] What user was so angry with me? [86:07] What did I do wrong? [86:13] Chatter Hive floor two. We need more [86:17] visitors. [86:20] So, [86:24] what was the issue with them? [86:28] Oh. [86:29] Oh [laughter] [86:31] it is multiplayer. It's actually being [86:34] designed from the ground up to be a [86:37] multiplayer [86:38] co-op like economic sim game. [86:42] So that's part of what's being developed [86:45] out [86:48] because yeah, I could definitely see it [86:50] being useful the more floors that you [86:53] get and managing even just replacing [86:56] equipment like this. This is two things [86:59] went down. [87:02] So both of those need to be replaced and [87:05] thankfully it's just a matter of [87:06] replacing the hardware. [87:10] So, all I need to do is order two of [87:12] those switches and that's it. Since I [87:15] can just pop them on top and then switch [87:17] the cables over since thankfully it [87:19] doesn't burn out the cable. [87:42] But yeah, having some better ways to [87:45] show when there are errors like that [87:47] could be useful. [87:50] Even if it's just more of a user [87:53] complaints like um a ticket came through [87:56] sort of idea like a ticket shows up in [87:58] the corner of the thing saying oh users [88:01] reports network outage and even make [88:04] ones where they're wrong like the user [88:06] gives you completely wrong information. [88:08] That would be great. I would love that. [88:11] User states [88:13] banking website broken. And then it [88:16] turns out it was never anything to do [88:17] with the website. They never plugged in [88:19] their computer. [88:24] I had to I had to drive in one time to [88:27] go plug in a phone. [88:31] Anybody that's ever worked it knows what [88:33] I mean. It's just that that's what it's [88:35] like. [88:39] There there was two ports on the back of [88:40] it. One of it says SW and the other one [88:43] says PC. and they couldn't for the life [88:46] of them figure it out. [88:51] Yep. [88:52] The IT life. [88:55] But if you two want to experience a [88:57] little slice of the IT life, this is a [88:59] fun little game. So, I recommend it. But [89:02] I think that's going to be everything [89:03] for tonight. So, thank you everybody so [89:06] much for watching. Hope you all had a [89:07] good time. And I'm hoping to start doing [89:08] this again more regularly. And thank you [89:11] everybody so much for supporting the [89:12] channel. I'm excited to get back into [89:14] this. [89:17] There is a minimum service charge even [89:19] if it takes me 5 seconds always. [89:23] So, I hope to see everybody next time. [89:25] I'll announce in the discord when I am [89:27] going to be doing this again so that [89:29] everybody can uh join in. Until then, [89:32] take care everyone and goodbye.
