Under this section you will find the successful ones. In some cases you will find detailed methodology while in other stories emphasize to the result itself. Let’s get started!
Fedora 1 and 3 Route
This story is about the “useless and outdated hardware” that can still be of use.
Back then Fedora was taking it first steps. I also was an “absolute beginner” in the administration world.
The quest was to create a router that would support 75 PCs divided into 3 networks enabling on-demand re-configuration.
Network Layout:
Room A:
- 30 PCs running Windows 2000 Professional, 1GB RAM, 80 GB HDD.
- 1 Network Laser Printer
- 3 Stand-by Ethernet connections for laptops
- 2 CISCO 2950 24p 10/100 switches with uplink
- Some bad switch ports
- Connectivity to main switches via 1000 Ethernet
Room B:
- 30 PCs running Windows 2000 Professional, 1GB RAM, 80 GB HDD.
- 2 Network Laser Printer
- 3 Stand-by Ethernet connections for laptops
- 3 Stand-by Administrative/Service/Technician Ethernet outlets
- 2 CISCO 2950 24p 10/100 switches with uplink
- Connectivity to main switches via 1000 Ethernet
Servers :
- 1 Server Xeon based with 4 GB RAM and a few SCSI HDDs, Windows 2003, part of Active Domain, backup DHCP server
- 1 Server Xeon based with 4GB RAM/500 GB HDD acting as Global Catalog, DHCP server, WINS server
- 1 PC Pentium III with 786 MB RAM and 40 GB HDD running Fedora
It's a Blue Monday
