  Just completed the installation of 2 cisco 2900 XL series switches. Connecting a remote site at via 4 100MB/FX multi-mode (800MB) Cisco ISL Trunk. One switch was configured with 3 vlans and while the other switch only had 2. Each vlan was given access to the ISL trunk, vlan 1 gpn network and vlan 2 pcn behind a firewall. Vlan 3 was split up into 2 FastEthernet port groups used to for network backups.

  Waiting on 2 48 port 3500 series and getting ready to redeploy some BayStack 450 24Ts. In with the new out with the old (+:

  Upgraded MRTG to fix a sort issue...

  Starting the help administer 3 HP 9000 unix network servers (DNS/DHCP)

• Made some minor changes to the site.
• Release 1.2.6 of PCCS MySQLDatabase Admin tool
• Started to put date on changelog entries
• Made a few changes to PCCS-Linux.COM
  Added this page and the /README link.
  This site and hlug.org two of the sites that I maintain for myself. I own both domain and use them to provide support forsource products.
  I also maintain web.wt.net/~cthorn, but haven't updated it for about 2 years..
• Wrote a very simple php download application for a friend. Don't know if it will be released.
• Redocumented a network node Model 5000 with over 50 fiber connections and more than 35 RJ45 connections going out to 3 other Model 5000 nodes.
• Just completed 2 network expansions. One was 78+ GPN port installation and a 28 port Private network, where I was responsible for making sure 24 pair fiber, CAT3 for phone and CAT5 for Data was installed along with 7 BayNetwork D5000s for GPN portion of network.
  The other expansion was a new installation where 8 network data drops, 6 pair fiber, CAT3/5 a Synoptics 2814 was uplinked via the fiber to provide network access.
• Installed and configured a video server using Microsoft's Media Server and Windows NT 4.0 on a DELL midrange server with 60GB of disk storage. Configured the media server to allow only certian subnets to connect. I will be putting all the servers related to the project on a single switch and modify my MRTG html pages to better display the server's traffic on the BaySwith 450-24T port number
• Participated in the expansion of our data center. Moved 6 servers to the new section with the possibility of 10+ more being added. These servers will be running Windows NT 4.0 on Compaq servers
• Reconfigured hlug.org to be a support site for Linux Apache MySQL PHP and the Linux Terminal Server. This is where I provide FREE support for the stated products. I also hang out a phpbuilder.com putting in my 2 cents and helping with support questions.
• Using FLUKE technology I was able to clean up and free network ports in over 65 network IDFs.
• Gave a presentation at the Houston Linux User Group DEMOing the Linux Terminal Server.
• Setup the network environment for a Development/Test DataCenter that will house 6-10 DELL Midrange servers.
• Installed and configured MRTG to have a visual picture of the traffic going to and from about 100+ network devices.
• Surveyed and redocumented the locataion of 95% of ALL network devices on the network.
• Installed and Configured Cheops the monitor important subnets.
• Wrote, installed and configure PHP/SNMP Network Admin Tool, populating the applications database with ALL of the network devices on the network. In an effort to get realtime data via a web browser. This application is available for download.
• Wrote, installed and configured PCCS Network Resource Manager, populating it with data relating to over 900 DELL/COMPAQ desktops, 300 Network printers, and 190 windows applicataions.
• Installed ntop on a SPARC box running Linux. This server just sits and gathers sample data. Very good tool for seeing what networked stations are using the most network traffic and what type of traffic it is. (Web,Ftp,etc)
• Started using nmap to gather information about the services running on my LAN. How many stations are providing web services? What ports areon these workstations?

  Putting this stuff into a database provides valuable information when looking at your network from a security administration point.

• Was leader of the Hardcore Linux User Group, while the group has no membership, I still maintain a slot for the group by keeping the domain available hlug.org. We had meeting/classess at MicroCenter where I gave about 10 presetations ranging from MOSIX, SAMBA, PHP to just talking about Linux.
• Installed and configured a 5 node cluster using MOSIX
