Today I am finally going to take the time write an article about my lab. A while back, I had posted an article detailing the FreeNas server that I built to provide shared storage to my virtualization lab. However, today I am going to attempt to dive in deep and write, in at least a bit of detail, about the other components of my lab.

HomeLab Adventures: Freenas Volume 1
So I am not going to lie, I am a very sick man, and I am not afraid to admit it. I have a terrible, terrible addiction which is my homelab. It all started out so innocently... An old Sun Ultra 5 to learn Sparc Solaris at home.. A couple of desktops converted over to rack mount cases and racked in a cheap telecom rack in my unfinished basement. This was very early in my career when I had a lot to learn and plenty of free time to study. However that was many moons ago.
HomeLab: Simple DHCP Service Configuration on a Cisco Router
Sometimes when I learn something new in the world of technology, I am often amazed that something that I assumed was technically advanced is rather quite simple.
Such is the case with configuring DHCP on a Cisco Router. I mean, is it just me or do network guys sometimes act as if everything that they do is takes elite technical skills and tons of experience. Don't get me wrong, I know that networking is not exactly easy. But can we just agree to admit that once in a while some things are easier done than said. Anyway, for me this was the case with configuring a DHCP pool on a Cisco Router.
