  • 10 minute tech talk: OCF networking and connecting from outside
  • Slides available at: https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~staff/bod/2014/Fall/2014-09-22.pdf
  • OCF has two internet lines from IST: one behind firewall, one with no firewall
  • In practice everything is behind the firewall
    • (but some things allow all traffic)
  • All outbound traffic allowed (except mail)
  • Inbound traffic
    • None to desktops
    • Some to some servers
    • SSH to login servers
    • Full to hozers
  • OCF has two login servers:
    • tsunami, for public people, restricted access to rest of ocf
    • supernova, for staffers, full access to rest of ocf
  • Use supernova as a bastion to access other servers
    • step 1: ssh me@supernova.ocf.berkeley.edu
    • step 2: ssh whatever-server
  • Can also use hozers, but eventually we will protect the rest of the ocf from them
  • Budget allocations
  • ckuehl suggests purchasing 3 new SSDs for jaws
    • 2 for use, 1 for space; total 8 in jaws
    • Estimated cost ~$600, ask to allocate $700
    • 3 SSDs, 2 SSD adapters
    • BoD approves
    • [annotation by ckuehl: actual cost was $580]
  • ckuehl suggests purchasing 2 additional monitors to create 2 more computers with dual monitors
  • Estimated cost: ~$550, ask to allocate $700
  • Concerns:
    • do people use the lab for more than printing?
    • we want them to, plus staff do
    • currently the dual monitors are mostly unused
    • is this best use of money?
  • Decision to postpone until next meeting (running out of time)
  • Next meeting:
  • Vote on proposed amendment: https://github.com/ocf/wiki/compare/ckuehl-proposed-amendment (Also quoted below since 2015-06-26)
