Re: switch 10G standalone TOR, core to DC

2013-02-19 Thread Bao Nguyen
Anyone have worked with the switching vendor Quanta for their 10ge switching as
TOR? [1] Their spec looked interesting and they are quiet cheap.

Re: ip address management

2010-02-03 Thread Bao Nguyen
I want to point out that OpenNetAdmin (ONA) is a great IP/DNS/Host
tracking tool, although not supporting IPv6 yet. It's the first GPL I
know of that uses the concept of an abstract host which can have
multiple DNS names or IPs. I used IPPLAN in the past but have recently
converted to ONA for several of our managed projects and been happy
since. The developer is actively working on some improvements. I've
wrote some script to convert from your BIND/NAME zone file to ONA.

As for the interface, you have the option of using its nice AJAX web
based or cli through a PHP script.
