Network

This page will show the network topology & proposals for network expansion / modification.

A
Hackspace Network

External IP address 92.27.61.158.

Internal IP address range with reserved IP's available from 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.99 and DHCP allocation from 10.0.0.100.

Kryten has a 4 port switch - Holly takes 1 & the external switches take 2, leaving 1 internal port & a 8 on the external switches available. The 1 remaining internal port is likely to be used by the network printer.

WiFi for Hackspace SSID: HSNOTTS passcode uses WPA2 protocol AES encryption. Members only, passcode on request (I'll email this out to the usual suspects, ask if needed)

WiFi for other clients (e.g. Anthem Films) to be on setup when details finalised, on seperate VLAN.

The Nottinghack VLAN would have access to local resources - e.g. a future NAS file-share , a local dropbox server for projects & collaborations, a backup of all Web / Wiki files (to allow a remote restore in the event of moving hosts / outage of services) and anything else we don't want to be web facing.

The VPN (when enabled) would allow remote management of the VLANS, which could come in handy in the event of issues with the client WiFi access point.

Router management username & password only for Authorised users.

As far as "Authorised users" go, I'd suggest that anyone who is a permanent member, with access to all of the key-codes & building key should be eligible. Usual rules apply, as to any tool - if you don't know how to use it / don't do anything :)

Holly

Holly prides himself on the fact he had an IQ of 6,000 (apparently the same IQ as 6,000 PE teachers or 12,000 car park attendants), but after three million years by himself, he had become computer senile, or as Holly put it, "a bit peculiar".

Our first server is past the days of being called fast or prim hardware, it can take a while to boot/respond. However its likely to be our only workhorse for a little while so please don't ridicule Holly on his senility!
