Configuration

Fish Ranch currently hosts an EdgeSwitch8, and EdgePower 54V 72W and a EdgeMax Edge Router 4. The EdgeMax router provides access to a WAN connection (76.77.176.217) down the hill via an airFiber 60 LR from K6MPP. The WAN connection is currently disabled (July 22nd, 2022).

Fish Ranch connects to ORCA using a Mikrotik Wireless Wire RBwAPG-60ad (60GHz, 1Gbit Full Duplex)
