Note: When removing cisco-commons, we clipped off the ethernet and wrapped the severed end in tacky-tape. The cisco-specific PoE wiring was accomodated using an adapter section inside the enclosure. The severed tip was wired (I think) normally:

Mississippi Network Diagram and Configuration

A nucab named "mississippi" serves DHCP and does NAT for our DSL line. All of the metrix boxes run ["STP"]. The whole network is bridged, and in the 10.11.104.0/22 network.

We have MississippiMonitoring with Cacti: http://buick.personaltelco.net/cacti/graph_view.php

Include(MississippiNetworkNews, "NEWS", 2, from="^.*$")

  • Add StephouseNetworks Logo to Buick's NoCatSplash page (as discussed at WeeklyMeeting20060104)

  • Check polarization on metrix-ed's 11a antenna (should be same as metrix-naya-sw).
  • Try repointing metrix-ed's 11a antenna at metrix-commons. If successful:
    • Repoint metrix-naya-nw's 11a antenna at metrix-commons; and
    • Replace metrix-naya-sw with the Commons cisco.
  • The Sector antennas on Naya might benefit from being repointed...
  • Install link to additional upstream internet connections (NodeFreshPot) and BlackRoseCollective and setup round-robin load balancing. The edimax device we'd like to use will only do bridging (not routing) in client-mode with the default (is there an alternative? so far, no) firmware. So the idea at NodeFreshPot is to install a third NIC in the NodeFreshPot nucab and give it a missnet address, string ethernet to the front of the store and connect the edimax there to one of the naya b/g radios. Need to coordinate with Tyler on that. We might need a device with more flexibility (OpenWRT?) for BlackRose.

  • Need to install a "repeater" at Amnesia brewing inside and behind the corrogated steel.
  • What's the deal with Broadcom-based client devices connected to Atheros based APs? Why doesn't it work? Under what circumstances (if any) will it? [Troy said he no longer has the problem with the current madwifi drivers, thinks it was a problem with the old wds-branch code].

RussellSenior currently has both metrix-russell and metrix-dje setup in a test rig. Metrix-dje uses a Soekris 4526 board with 486 processor, different than the standard Metrix Mark II we are using on the project, which use a Soekris 4826 board with a Geode (pentium-like) processor. TroyJaqua has metrix-troy.

Note: When removing cisco-commons, we clipped off the ethernet and wrapped the severed end in tacky-tape. The cisco-specific PoE wiring was accomodated using an adapter section inside the enclosure. The severed tip was wired (I think) normally:

  • white-orange
  • orange
  • white-green
  • blue
  • white-blue
  • green
  • white-brown
  • brown

When opening the enclosure, there was a notable scent of cooking electronics. Not overpowering, but I noticed it. --RussellSenior

See MississippiMetrixConfiguration for a method of preparing and updating the software on the metrixes.
