  I couldn't get the LAN repeater box just below the switch to cooperate, but possibly because the cable I fetched originally from the "corner of cables" was defective (back on the pile, but marked defective now). I put one of my cables in place temporarily and will properly dress something through the rack on the next trip. But I also couldn't determine the least used switch position to temporarily swipe until the port expansion is worked out. For the moment the system is using the "north1" cable. It would be harmless to reassign ports.

Networking

The Splat Space firewall is a NetScreen 5GT WLAN running ScreenOS 5.4r12 - the config as of 5/10/2011 is uploaded to this file: Media:20110510-5gt-config.doc Manuals for the ScreenOS 5.4 can be found on the Juniper website. The most useful is the Concepts & Examples Guide, which is a 25MB PDF.

If you change the firewall config, please upload a new copy of the config - with a new name! - so this page is up to date.

Many Splatters know the administrative userid and password - please check with Lisa, Mike, Justis, or Lenore if you need it.

Description and Charter

  • System "splatpi" is a 1/4gb (rev 1) model B Raspberry Pi with hostname "splatpi". It is running latest (mid-December, 2012) Raspbian (aka Debian 7 aka wheezy) with patches current as of the end of January 2013. Its /boot filesystem is on an SD card as usual, but all other filesystems are on a 3 1/2" disk drive.
  • This system is freely available with no restrictions on use except:
    • Do not disturb the hardware or the /boot filesystem
    • Be careful with superuser commands. If you aren't comfortable modifying the system, ask for help.

Access

  • Example GUI access (renders a 1024x768 desktop):
    • vncviewer 192.168.2.61
  • Example text interface login (password "raspberry"):
    • ssh -l pi 192.168.2.61
