5.7 Planning day followup
- Network growth and communication.
- Both points not achieved to date.
- Get experts together
Over the next 3 weeks, the committee will organise what we want for a distribution or at least a well documented list of what needs to be done.
Client node & routing node...
Aim to use the most common equipment around today. Enterasys, WL200, Dlink APs. Etc
Get hardware and software guys together to work these issues out.
So in 3 weeks, the committee wants to decide on basically what we want from these distribution, ie security, routing, access control, etc.
5.8 Meeting
Newbies introduction 5 mins at the start. Simple presentation of MW and how to connect a node.6. Task List
