Re: MICE 3 Location

by Reid Knuttila

Jay, Yes, I'm happy to offer TIES facilities for the meeting. I've reserved the Larpenteur Room from 3 to 7 (I'd expect we'll be done before that but we have the room). I may change the room based on whether or not beer is brought in or based on the expected attendance. There are bars close to here so we have options for socializing afterwards, too. Here is some info on the facilities: http://ties.k12.mn.us/Facilities.html. We have video and audio conference bridges available, and can bring in an H323 video cart to the meeting room. We're at the southwest side of the intersection of Snelling and Larpenteur, north of the State Fairgrounds. We have plenty of parking on the west and south sides of the building. The meeting rooms are best reached via the training center entrance on west side of the building under the skyway. . The address is also in my signature. How to find us: http://ties.k12.mn.us/Find_TIES.html Thanks, -- Reid Knuttila Internet Manager TIES 1667 Snelling Ave. N.

I'm not sure that the make and model of the switch in the core has been 100% determined. I think all of the options had a couple of fiber ports available.

CNS will provide the TwinGig "carrier" modules. I hadn't given the cross-connect much thought. I suspect that CNS would be willing to pay for one cross connect. That seems like it would be fair since everybody else has to pay for a cross connect also. Does that model of copper switch support a small number of fiber connections so that we can use fiber to connect to it?

Re: Fiber switch for CNS space

CNS would provide the SFPs for the Gig connections. However, we would ask the participants who request 10Gig to provide the X2 optics. We'll provide 10Gig modules for CNS and the State of Minnesota. I'm not sure what you mean by the "carrier optic"? Do you mean the cross-connect from FWR? If so, we would expect the participant to provide that.

For a GE link on that switch it may require two optics the carrier optic and the SFP themselves. Would the carrier modules be provided or would the participants need to provide those? jay ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Fiber switch for CNS space

by Steve Howard

Hello, We are thinking about purchasing a Cisco Catalyst 3560-E 3560E-12D switch for the fiber switch for the MICE project. It has 12 x 10Gig ports. The 10 Gig ports support the TwinGig adapter which can be used to convert a 10Gig port to 2 x 1Gig (SFP). That should give us plenty of fiber connection options (for now). We use these at various locations and they have worked out pretty well (other than the silly 1000 multicast route limitation). Any thoughts or concerns with this switch? Thanks, Steve ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Welcome everyone!

by Mike Horwath

Hiya and welcome to the mailing lists! Not much happening YET. Dan, Jay, and I will be meeting soon (possibly tomorrow, still working out schedules) and I think we are having the next big meeting around September 15th, 2010 but I don't think a venue has been aquired yet. Need space for 15-20 people (minimum, there are new people who now know of this group that didn't before), and refreshments of course. Mike of FWR took care of us last time (thanks pal!) over at Grumpy's. Other ideas? I am all down for Grumpy's again if someone can reserve the room for us once more time (cause I suck at that) - it worked out pretty well, and there is a staage we could easily abuse if we have enough people to warrant it. And unless someone in my office barks, I'll cover this round of the event via ipHouse. -- Mike Horwath ipHouse - Welcome home! drechsau(a)iphouse.net The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. - Berkeley Fortune ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

> &*TICKET_URL(MICE-DISCUSS,SIGNOFF); Hmm...2 items, first need to figure out which template is broken. Second: [Company Name] is EngineHosting via enginehosting.com. Volunteered CMS software and hosting (or we'll do the hosting at ipHouse), and offered up Dell 2950 for route server (possibly 2). Thanks for the summary! -- Mike Horwath drechsau(a)iphouse.net The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. - Berkely Fortune ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-DISCUSS,SIGNOFF);
