Project/Network
Introduction
An information page for rLab members on the network available at the Lab.
Description
The lab has an internet connection from Andrews and Arnold via a DSL line. This runs through our firewall / router, and seperates into a public-facing DMZ network for the wiki server and some core systems, and an internal LAN which provides services to the lab systems and members projects.
Internal LAN
The internal LAN is accessible to members both over WiFi and various network outlet points in the lab.
WiFi connection details are posted around the lab. If you need connection information, please ask on site and someone will be able to help you out.
The LAN itself is an RFC-1918 compliant network, using the 10.0.0.0/21 space. This is further grouped into three ranges.
- 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.255 Lab owned equipment static addresses
- 10.0.1.1 - 10.0.3.255 DHCP client pool
- 10.0.4.0 - 10.0.7.254 Project space
Equipment brought into rLab should ideally use the DHCP server to be provided with an address and the current network settings. If this is not possible then an address in the project space can be used without causing a conflict with the DHCP clients. If this is required over an extended period of time you should talk to the network maintainers about reserving an address.
LoRaWAN
The lab has a LoRaWAN gateway installed. At present not much is known about this device or how it may be accessed (eg to check a LoRaWAN project is being received correctly at the gateway)
Maintainers
These are the people who look after and repair the network. They're the ones to contact if there are any problems.
