This is an attempt to document VTLUUG's overly complex networking setup. Apologies for the disorganization, this is mainly just a way to get everything in one place. --Mjh (talk) 21:43, 28 December 2014 (EST

Limitations

We are behind the ECE Whittemore NAT, which is on a single 100 Mbps CNS port. We have the following limitations:

  • All adjustments to ECE DNS must be made through Brandon
  • IP addresses are difficult to claim, because they must be forwarded through the NAT, and ARP proxying must be configured by Brandon
  • IPv6 is not supported behind the Whittemore NAT

Consequently, We must:

  • Use an IPv6 tunnel if we want access to IPv6 addresses
  • Keep all internal services (like NFS) on an internal network

Desired Setup

This is what I'm hoping to migrate us to:

  • OpenWrt (odhcpd has built-in NDP proxying) or pfSense Router
  • An internal network smaller than a /8 (room for expansion)
    • Done: 10.99.0.0/16
  • IPsec (point-to-point and road warrior for users)
    • Can be done through openWRT or pfSense
  • Each VM host has a bridged ethernet port with a global IPv4 address and performs NAT to its VMs. Additional IPv4s are assigned as VMs as needed (e.g. milton and acidburn probably need their own)
  • All internal IPv4 addresses are static leases assigned by the router or set statically and documented somewhere; hypervisors do not have their own networks unnecessarily like wood currently does.
    • Internal network on cyberdelia has static IPs or long-term leases.
    • Cyberdelia still has too many internal networks, most of which are unnecessary.
  • Each device has a global IPv6 address
    • Currently provided through tunnel

CVL setup (deprecated)

Hardware:

  • "luugtemp" or "temp88191": a Poweredge 2650 with 2 NICs configured as an Ubuntu router
  • 8-port Gigabit unmanaged switch
  • 48-port 100 Mbps managed switch (attached to sunway)

Port security evasion:

  • A bash script named "Nat" which presumably does 1-to-1 NAT
  • NDP proxying via https://npd6.github.io/npd6/
    • This is broken an misconfigured. It doesn't properly add routes.

IPs / networks:

  • temp88191 is 10.0.0.1/8 and 128.173.88.191. It provides DHCP on our internal interface
  • Sunway has static IPs setup (10.0.97.10 to 10.0.97.28)
  • Rackable servers: joey (10.0.4.10) and phantomphreak (10.0.4.11)
  • cyberdelia's IPv4 is luug0.ece.vt.edu
    • Port 9001 <-> 10.0.1.3 (cerealkiller)
    • Port 9030 <-> 10.0.1.3 (cerealkiller)
  • wood's IPv4 is luug1.ece.vt.edu
  • milton's IPv4 is luug2.ece.vt.edu
  • luug3.ece.vt.edu is (in theory) used by westinghouse (sunway's head node)
  • acidburn's IPv4 is luug.ece.vt.edu
  • acidburn has iodine configured as a DNS tunnel (10.152.78.1/27)
  • Other tenants of our router: mjh.ece.vt.edu and mirror.ece.vt.edu
  • 10.99.0.2/24 appears to be statically assigned to wood's guests.

Cyberdelia VMs - assigned 10.0.1.1/24 (not actually a separate subnet):

  • dhcp-host=52:54:00:14:df:c2,10.0.1.1 # "mail" (not yet configured)
  • dhcp-host=52:54:00:68:81:33,10.0.1.2 # crashoverride 2.0
  • dhcp-host=52:54:00:40:9a:55,10.0.1.3 # Cerealkiller 2.0
