Networks

Internets

Internet connection is provided by Comcast.

More information about the internet connection and trouble shooting can be found here: Internets

To administer the internets use the web interface located at http://10.1.10.1

Current config owners: Nick Ristow/Tyler Worman/Nate Yost/

WIFI

WIFI is provided by the Mikrotik Router and routed through the Comcast Connection

2 DHCP enabled SSID's are provided.

SSID: ALLHANDSACTIVE

As of: 11/15/2015 ALLHANDSACTIVE is presently the only general use wifi connection. The password is posted around the shop.

Future state: Public connection, throttled to 100Kbps per user TX and RX segregated from the rest of the local LAN and private wifi. Essentially just a free wifi hotspot.

SSID: ALLHANDSACTIVE-PRIVATE

As of: 11/15/2015 Configuration of this connection is not complete.

To Do:

• Get this connection routing through to the internet.
• Get this connection obeying a TX/RX throttle.
• Remove the throttle from this connection and transition that throttle configuration to the ALLHANDSACTIVE SSID
• Enable authentication of this SSID via LDAP provided by Computing Infrastructure: HUB@AHA

Final state: Un-throttled Member only WIFI. Authenticated via our membership usernamme/passwords.

Restore Workstations

Guide here: Computer Infrastructure: Restoring Workstations

The workstation restoration process involves wiping the machine, copying down an image from the NAS and running updates.

Virtual Machines

Future State: HUB@AHA has 1 Ubuntu VirtualBox image that get mounted to the 6 public workstations at login. It's maintained by AHA and configured with default settings for the space. You may clone the image for your personal use.

Todo

• Create base image
• Install additional software
• Configure home directory mount via LDAP.
• Install VirtualBox extensions.
• Mark it read only.
• Share to network via NAS.
• Configure login script to mount this share at login.

Base Image

A base install of the latest LTR Ubuntu image that is reasonably patched.

Additional software

These packages are installed in addition to the base install.

If you need additional packages please contact Tyler Worman to request a base package be added to the distribution.

Usage pattern

Copy the VM to your private folder on the NAS and use as needed. Wipe/Restore from base image as needed.
