A technical tour of the internal Etterstad infrastructure. This
is kind of geeky....
Network infrastructure
The internal network physically consists of one main switch in the server/wiring closet,
where the main link into the appartment is terminated.
The backbone switch is here. The main bedroom/office has its own switch
connected to some of the desktop machines for faster and more
reliable connection. A set of desktops in another room is attached to the infrastructure
through a switch coupled to a wireless bridge.
Connecting the laptops is a wireless 802.11g network.
Laptops then hook directly into the WiFi.
There is one address range in use, but two domains (one each for the two
occupants).
The wireless are WPA encrypted to gain security to at least some degree. The wireless base station
is running the Tomato Linux version.
The Internet connection is through a 7/2 Mbps cable modem
line provided by Get.
