REDDNet Site Requirements

Sent Mike requirements for hooking up remote depots

   * Power, network, KVM, PDU, IP addresses, ports that need to be opened (SSH, IBP), anything else you think of 

Each depot has two network interfaces, so if supported by your switch, we would like to use both interfaces in 802.3ad bonding mode for increased performance. This requires two switch ports and two ethernet cables per depot. If not supported, then each depot only requires one port/cable.

Remote PDU

We provide an 8-plug APC PDU unit for every 8 pieces of powered equipment. This allows us to power-cycle a hard-locked machine and do other forms of maintenance that aren't possible using the KVM alone.

Each PDU requires a 110 V, x Amp power connection, and a

Required Network Ports

These ports should be opened on your perimeter firewall (or firewalls if you have both organizational and departmental firewalls).
