The NetworkEventKit (NEK)

The NEK idea

The idea is to have a mobile hardware setup to offer network on events and train people to use it.

learning FreeBSD networking from base to expert level
creating documentation for hands-on workshops
giving hands-on training
training trainers in presentation and teaching skills
technical support from experts in network security
creating a usecases of FreeBSD, NANOBSD and TinyBSD
offering open [source|hardware|content] events a well working network environment.

Hardware

2-3 i386 machines (pf/monitoring/buidhost)
soekris/wrap/alix (accespoints)
PoE unit
2.4 and 5 Ghz antenna's
Generic switches (ssh/snmp)

Scenario's

Example 1 simple

gateway <--> firewall <--> switches
                       \-> accespoints

Example 2 carp for failover

gateway <-->switch <--> firewall1 <--> coreswitch <--> switches
                    \-> firewall2 <-/              \-> accespoints

Example 3 dual wan multiple uplinks bundled

gateway1 <--> firewall <--> switches
gateway2 <-/            \-> accespoints

Example 4 carp and dualwan

gateway1 <-->switch <--> firewall1 <--> coreswitch <--> switches
gateway2 <-/         \-> firewall2 <-/              \-> accespoints

Example 5 carp and dual wan with lagg

gateway1 <--> switch <--> firewall1 <--> coreswitch1 <--> switches
          \/          \/      |      \/               \-> accespoints
          /\          /\      |      /\
gateway2 <--> switch <--> firewall2 <--> coreswitch2 <--> switches
                                                      \-> accespoints
