Re: SCaLE ride sharing

2011-02-03 Thread Tony Wasson
Cory,

I will be there for all of Friday  Sunday's events. I've got a
mid-sized car that seats 4 comfortably that will get about 29mpg
during the trip.

 Hans's seems to be the last one.

 Hans, have you found your ride share?  I am looking for a ride share as
 well that would allow me to participate in all of Friday's and Sunday's
 events.  I would be coming from the Tucson area.

 I have a 2000 Jimmy that should get us there and back if I fix a leaky
 tire first.  It is not the most fuel efficient, but it is what I own.

 Mickey and I will be driving to SCALE appx 7am Thursday Feb 24, From
 tempe.  2 extra seats in the back.  We'll be coming back around noon
 Sunday.
 I also want to ride share, but I want to come back later as I usually
 participate in events early Sunday evening.
 Who else is in for ride-sharing this year?
 We're booked at the Hilton - but are not offering to share it with
 anyone, sorry ;-).

 ciao,

Re: Network Monitoring

 Hello Hello,

 I'm looking for a program or something that can monitor my network as a
 whole and tell me which machines are consuming all my bandwidth. Something
 that I could install on a linux box, plug it into the network and stick it
 in a corner and check it a week later would be ideal. All the tools I've
 tried only tell me what the machine itself is consuming, not other things on
 the network. Any recommendations out there?


For internet link bandwidth reporting, I'd take a look at ntop. You may need
to enable a mirror port on your switch to see this traffic to and from the
internet.

For an internal network bandwidth, I'd suggest using an SNMP capable switch
and a problem like cacti or MRTG graphing bandwidth on each switch port.
NTOP can help with internal bandwidth reporting, but the mirror port setup
is more complicated in a single switch internal network.

Hope this helps,
Tony Wasson

Seems like you need a deploy script.

It would run svn export

...and then tar/zip the rest.

Re: Mapping a wireless network dynamically.

 So I want to map my network on the fly.
 This is what I already know:
 Radios are Wiligear (embedded Linux)
 I have a script that logs in into every radio and downloads its
 configuration file, MAC and IP address.

  From the configuration file I can tell APs from bridges.

 I can login in every AP and grab the list of MAC addresses associated to
 that AP.
 I can find the corresponding IP address of a MAC with a lookup into the ARP
 table of the firewall.
 Now I can login to those bridges too.
 So far so good...

 Now the challenge:
 When I login to the bridge, I need to know the MAC address of the device
 attached to the eth0 interface.
 How do I find the MAC address of the device in the other side of the wire?
 Thanks!

SNMP can help here. See if you can snmpwalk the units. (change the IP
and community name)

$ snmpwalk -v1 -c your-community-name 192.168.1.50 1.3.6.1

On a typical SNMP device you can get the forwarding tables like so:

$ snmpwalk -v1 -c your-community-name 192.168.1.50 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.2

You can usually tie that information together with the interface names
located at this OID:
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

I've got a script that will dump the mappings I can share offlist if
you're interested. I use it to dump all the MAC to port mappings into
a database table and then generate a map. If that isn't working, you
could also dump the arp tables of the WiFi units periodically. Doing
that in conjuction with an nmap ping sweep will allow you to find a
good chunk of devices.

Hope this helps,

Re: OT:Switch boosts ethernet?

2009-02-19 Thread Tony Wasson
On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 11:21 AM, Alan Dayley ala...@consultpros.com wrote:
 If this were a casual situation, we might do what you suggest.  But
 using a cable that is too long is known to be a source of intermittent
 and odd problems.  In this situation we'd rather do it right once and
 not worry about errors happening when we least want them.

 This is a pretty good if not detailed explanation of the length limit:
 http://www.duxcw.com/faq/network/cablng.htm

 Basically, as I understand it, when the Ethernet sender ships out the
 packet it will wait for an acknowledge from the destination.  The
 signals running through the cable are very, very fast but are not
 instant to the other end.  When the cable is too long, the sender
 could declare a time out on the acknowledge and resend before the
 destination gets the packet.  Collisions or other problems could then
 ensue.  So, theoretically, it does not matter much how good the
 cable is because the limit is based propagation of the signals.

Also -- with long cables you get noise on the cable called cross talk
(NEXT  FEXT). The cross talk is worse on  a long cable at 100Mbps or
Gigabit speeds. If you are running half duplex, you will get late
collisions on a 'too long' cable that would cause noticeable packet
loss or packet delay that will show up as frame drops in a video feed.

A switch is a really good solution. Please make sure to use Full
Duplex for the smoothest packet flows. Fiber is a good solution if you
had to go a lot further, but there are higher costs with that.

From my POV, Cat 6 and Cat 6e are just marketing terms. However, the
cost of copper cable is usually small compared to the labor costs of
installation.

P.S. In a casual situation 10Mbps/Full would probably work fine with a
good installation of Cat5e.
