Some Things I am Working On
The network upgrade is complete and now I am working on a few other things.
One of the things I am working on is the ever elusive BSC Dashboard. I am almost finished with this and with the help of the open source community I am very satisfied with the progress. I am using an open source monitoring app called Nagios. You can do almost anything with Nagios and if you can't find a plugin you can make your own. Look for it in the near future at http://dashboard.bridgew.edu/nagios
Another thing I am working on is the BSC SSL VPN. I am going to go to training in May for this but for now I am working this through trial and error, and support from Juniper. We have recently added Citrix to the VPN and it is working great.
Also in June I am going to the NERCOMP SANS bootcamp for security training. It is an intense training session that starts at 9:00am and ends at 8:00pm for 6 straight days. Hopefully at the end I will be able to get my GIAC certification.
Another thing that I am working on is a solution for our Xbox users on campus. Currently with our network configuration the network is virtually broken down by IDF so only the users on that IDF are able to play agains eachother. We are thinking about creating a proxy server that all the Xbox users on campus can connect up to and host games. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions let me know.
In the not so near future hopefully I will be working on a CCNA and also an RHCE (unfortunately the RHCE is the cert. of choice for linux professionals).
