This is information pertaining to the physical network that resides inside Bloominglabs.


Contents

DHCP

Both our wifi and our hardline have DHCP available. Currently there is a limit of 50 DHCP leases free for use. If you are placing a device on the network semi-long term, please consider configuring it with a static IP for both your convenience and ours.


Setting your box up with a Static IP

Static IP's should be placed below 192.168.1.125. Use these settings:

  • Netmask 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway 192.168.1.1
  • DNS 8.8.8.8

Last but not least, please drop the members mailing list a note so others don't stumble over your handiwork.


Syncing /etc/hosts

We could setup a proper DNS server... Or you could run this sync script on your host to keep your /etc/hosts file synced with our static IP list.


Network monitoring

We have passive network monitoring running for experimental and monitoring purposes. If you inside the space you can see the logs here:

The list of active DHCP leases is availble here from within the space:


Extending the network

We have no issues with folks extending the network with switches and hubs. However if the device has an in-band management interface (has its own IP address) make sure it doesn't clobber anything currently existing.
