My Network Map

Here's the network in our student flat. A litte explanation along with the picture.

The number of Mr. BlueGuys are the number of users in the network.

We are all studying at the same school for our engineer degree (4 years, + if you want, another 2 or 3 years). The most of them are studying for structural engineering. (5), one is studying elektro-mechanics engineering, one elektronics, and i'm studying elektronics-ICT.

Allthough the network looks overkill (wich is good ofcourse ), it's still heavily used and seems to be stable for over 5 months now. Although it's vacation.. we still hang around here. I usually make a visit to my parents in the weekend to eat a normal meal at least once a week

Although some may think i can leave out some computers.. it always turned out to be handy to have them. Ofcourse are some computers more used then others.

All servers run hardened gentoo except for the print- and webserver. They run normal gentoo with 2.6 kernel. The SAN also has a 2.6 kernel (mm-sources).

The laptops are Centrino's. The workstations varies from 1.5 - 2.5 Ghz. Intel and AMD mixed. I have a Centrino laptop (Compaq X1005EA) and a HP D530 (ultra slim desktop). I like silence in my flatroom.

The wifi is ofcourse encrypted. I was suprised of the signal strength. It's mostly good to excellent in our flats, even with a couple walls between it (wood).

The local webserver show the pages where the "users" can check their mail on, see if i'm working on stuff (and wich explains some stuff suddenly stops working )

The SAN isn't really a SAN, but it's a mini computer with a RAID 1, for file backups wich "users" choose theirself.

Last but not least.. the proxy server.. 9 users is a lot of traffic.. so to keep bandwith usage low.. caching helps a bit (especially when my structural engineering friends make their "homework".. they usually browse the same pages ).

That's about it i guess..

twan1, can you give any details on that san? been thinking of setting something up here. Right now just have a linux server that does everything (file storage, web server, etc) and wanted to make some sort of SAN like storage system. My raid numbers are a little sketchy, but is RAID-1 just basically making a few hard drives appear as one big one, without any sort of redundancy? Thought raid-2 (mirroring) is the first redundant version of raid. Want to have something like that setup. Although I do have this old dat drive I may use for backups instead.

You're not running a SAN. Trust me, you're not.

You might be trying to run NAS, but I don't know why people insist on calling a samba file server network attached storage. It's a file server.

Getting back on topic, here's my future layout

future layout

RAID 0: one big drive, combining two or more harddrives together for faster speeds.

RAID 1: redundant solution

anon45: i know it isn't a SAN.. i hoped you could see the little sarcasm it's indeed like you said, a NAS

Home Network

CampMaster I can take that Dell Laptop (600m) off your hands;)

reply to CampMaster
hey campmaster, just curious but how do you have two wireless points at the same time or is that diagram of yours not what it appear to look like? (the intel and buffalo's)

thanks

dragonhorse.... (still thinking about the smc 7004WBR)

I actually have 3 wireless networks, there is another AP on my ZyWALL 10W Router (but is just for backup right now).

I use the Buffalo wireless network (54g) for video streaming to and from my ReplayTV units (one in the bedroom and the other in the family room). I have it physically segmented so that none of that streaming traffic goes over my regular network/switch. I do have the buffalo unit wired to my LAN Switch when the ReplayTV units need to phone home each day. This a;so allows me to copy off recorded shows to my desktop and burn them to DVD when needed.

I use the Intel WAP for all normal wireless LAN/WAN traffic for the listed devices (Laptops and PocketPC's).

They have different ESSID's and WEP Key's and of course on different channels, no problems or conflicts!

Hope the helps,
~Tom
