IPv6

network infrastructure

New lab images

NFS and data storage

Mixed labs with laptops, screens, power, couches, tables, whiteboards

Survey students about what they want? What they have?

Survey departments about laptop and software requirements

initially we would use IPv6 internally only, because OIT is not ready to route it on campus

need an easier way to manage DNS server

DNS/DHCP appliance by InfoBlox

need a backup as well

let's us have a flat network, get rid of NATs

existing switches are not v6 capable

Cisco charges $4k,5k to switch it over

infrastructure is nearly a decade old

44×1 subscription rate, and this causes problems for NFS

replacing core switch over 2-3 years, working with Dell

do labs first, get to 4.8×1

eventually do research labs with 10 GB

will need to pull fiber through building

Klark and Greg are submitting a college proposal to replace core

check with Parris – on support for this proposal

wired by Klark and Greg with Cat6

Campus license agreement with RedHat – can now get Enterprise Server and Workstation

VMWare Workstation, run as a VM on top of Linux

can then use just NFS and get rid of Samba

can walk up to any machine and use Linux or Windows

can look at test machine

will replace 1/2 machines in labs in 2013

new lab machines 8 GB RAM, SSD

Spaces should be designed for CS students

You can do whatever you want (even English homework)

survey the students for what they want – Jay, win a pizza if you fill it out

can we collect data over time for console logins

automated survey of technologies?

survey faculty on what they require and licenses needed

software licensing only for BYU owned computers

library spaces available? maybe use them for lower end classes like CS 100?

see Gordon for budget

Xirrus system put in this past year

working well everyone, including Gigapix

we have 50 access points that we are not running, and a dozen or so that are completely open

do we really need the rest of the APs, because they cause collisions?

can we get faculty to switch?

system we put in was not cheap, can you justify why you have yours?

have Greg and Klark make a list of access points and then we can go around and talk to faculty

Replacing NFS storage

two servers, two disk vaults with 30 disks each (out of 60 capacity), 900 GB SAS

RedHat high availability, so if one fails the other takes over

connected to new switch with 10 GB connection to each NFS server
