This file is usually a hidden file so you will need to use the Ctrl+H control to view all the hidden files located in the folder. You can use your favorite text editor through the command line or UI to…

How to Configure Virtual Host on Windows 10 XAMPP

Comments 0 Comment

Create the Virtual Host First, you need to navigate to C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra or wherever your XAMPP files are located. Then, edit httpd-vhosts.conf with any text editor. In my case, I am using Notepad++. The file looks something like this: Delete everything in the file and paste the following code: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot “c:/xampp/htdocs/WordPress” ServerName WordPress.localhost <Directory “c:/xampp/htdocs/WordPress”> </Directory> </VirtualHost> In the above code: VirtualHost: Most web servers use port 80 as their default port.

CREATING AN LACP LAG ON A UBIQUITI UNIFI SWITCH FOR SYNOLOGY NAS

CREATING AN LACP LAG ON A UBIQUITI UNIFI SWITCH FOR SYNOLOGY NAS

Comments 0 Comment

Initially, the Synology Bond need to be prepared for LACP (IEE 802.3ad). This can be done via Control Panel – Network – Network Interface – Bonded Interface (if already created, otherwise you need to create one). Select IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation for the Bond interface and apply the configuration. Because the switch is not prepared yet, the Synology will provide an error message which states that the LACP LAG cannot be created. No worries, this will be fixed automagically after…

Hyper-V and PFsense with Vlans

Hyper-V and PFsense with Vlans

Comments 0 Comment

Making a mental note, here. I’ve tried visualizing PFsense multiple times in the past with mostly failures. The reason being is Hyper-V and VLANS. I assumed by default a vSwitch would pass all traffic. By default this doesn’t seem to be the case. You must setup your vSwitch correctly. Here is the command i used that worked. Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName “vmname” | Where-Object {$.MacAddress -eq “XXXXXXXXXXXX”} | Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -Trunk -AllowedVlanIdList “1-100” -NativeVlanId 1 References: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/81161/pfsense-hyper-v-vlans/4 Hyper-V VM Trunk VLANs Posted by virutalisto on May…
