Network design

There will be a flat network with a single uplink. Nothing is known yet about the availability of public ip space. Depending on the availability of the hardware, the topology will either be ring or star based. In both situations, multiple distribution switches will be available on the fields. Due to the decision to deliver a stable and robust network, the plans for setting up multiple vlan's to prevent abuse is dropped. Instead, a flat network will be created. There will be a separate vlan for hacking purposes, if you'd like a port in there, contact noc@ when laying a cable to a distribution point.

Network facilities

The organisation will provide a DHCP/DNS server, together with rate-limited and firewalled low-bandwith internet. There will also be multiple file / gaming serves on the network, of which a list is provided below:

{ !Service !IP Address !Provided by !Details !- |FTP |n/a |#mononoke |2TB raid5 |-}

Getting uplink

When you've setup all your gear, lay a cable to one of the distribution points. Noc engineers will periodically scan all the distribution points to connect all the cable's there. Under no circumstances it's permitted that you connect your own cable yourself!

Hacking

No hacking of other systems is allowed on this event. If you're caught you'll be subjected to the dutch laws and we'll be glad to hand you over to local authorities.

• Mathijs: Perhaps an idea to organise a hacking contest on this special vlan? (See special hacking vlan, let it organise itself :)
