Physical Equipment
Our main switch (connected to the IMSS 1Gbit uplink) is a Juiper EX2200. This switch is brand-new as of April 2010 and screams. The core servers, shellservers, mortals, and lenin are connected to this switch. It provides a DHCP safe haven for demeter (and our servers through RADIUS on charon) while allowing Winnett DHCP for other machines. We have a Cisco 2970 connected via two LACP links to the Juniper switch for additional gigabit ports (currently filled with hosted machines). We will be setting up a Cisco 2950 with a similar gigabit trunk lines for the hosted racks once we move them to where we want them.

Static IPs in UGCS
We don't actually have a netblock, we just have 64 ip's. So you configure your machine like any other in the Winnett netblock, with netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 131.215.176.254. A sample Debian interfaces file:
iface eth0 inet static
address 131.215.176.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 131.215.176.254
Firewall
Each machine does its own firewall through iptables. Cfengine installs a series of scripts in /etc/networking/if.[up,down].d that loads/saves the iptables configuration, so you can make changes knowing they will be preserved across a reboot.

IPv6 Allocations
- Caltech may be rolling out IPv6 later in 2010. We've mentioned to them that we'd be interested in trying it.
