Just a bit curious are there any home lab enthusiasts on carb?

My setup took me about 6 months to get it to where it is now, still needs a few things but this is where I am at now:

Switch: Cisco 2960x 48port POE+, running multiple VLans's and a few etherchannel's nothing fancy.

Router: Cisco 1921, handling DHCP and OSPF and a few ACL's to restrict access between VLan's

PfSense Firewall: So the PFSense firewall is running an old pentium E2200 with 2gb of DDR2 ram, still want to swap it out for a Intel Atom setup for power efficiency, that handles the firewall, Squid web cache, OpenVPN, some OSPF Routing, and PFBlockerNG. Still need to learn how PFSense actually functions.

Supermicro server: My supermicro has Hyper-V Server 2012 running, with about 20 different Vm's this is my play pen, Will be certifying in CCNP shortly so most of it is being used for GNS3 and some Server 2016/Ubuntu Vm's. Got it for a steal, running 4x AMD Opteron 6174 12 core total of 48 cores, and 72gb of DDR3 ECC Memory.

Dell Server: So being a complete noob at Linux, I thought I would dedicate this server to my learning of Linux. Currently running CentOS, and Ubuntu Vm's Running on Hyper-V Server 2012

As far as wireless connectivity goes I am only running 1 Ruckus Zoneflex 7363 AP, but looking into replacing the Ruckus with 2 Cisco AP's as it doesn't cover everywhere it should.

And still need to get a FreeNas setup going.

Any input would be much appreciated and also to what I can add or OS's/Vm I should check out, and if there are other home labbers out there please share setup's😁
