Neil deGrasse Tyson is talking about [the most astounding fact.. the universe
][1] (Graphical version)
And Cisco is talking about internet of everything
It’s not the same.. but still… it is, in a way
Everything is connected.. 🙂
We are very lucky to have Cisco with us as our main sponsor for TG13.
This year we are planning to implement the three-layer hierarchical design model (core, distribution, access), as illustrated in this picture;
Cisco Unified Data Center: A Path to the World of Many Clouds
Our friends in Tech:Server have their own network monitoring/management system, simply called NMS.
You can take a look for yourself: http://nms-public.tg12.gathering.org/
Tech:Server also configures and do most of the management on all of the D-Link DGS-3100 switches for us. (Thanks by the way! <3)
We have a wireless network in addition to the wired.
There are access points through the ship, so coverage should be good. Due to a large amount of devices, “rogue” networks and normal interference we recommend using 802.11a for best performance!
The network is not encrypted and the SSID is broadcasting as “TG12-WLAN”.
By the way, if you see one of these blinking – think of us. (One of our crewmembers wrote disco.pl to make them blink – and we might use it when we’re bored!)
Some of you have asked for a look at this years network design…
I’ve just updated our drawings: This is the current (and working) design for our main network.
All participants are connected to either CoreNGW or CoreSGW via D-Link DGS-3100-48 switches.
(Update: I forgot some changes earlier 🙂
We’ve been a bit busy these last days. The network is working and I’d like to present our weathermap.
