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="^.*$")

TODO

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 second DSL line (in bookstore) and setup round-robin load balancing
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.

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