IETF62 Network and Terminal Room Information

Network and Terminal Room Information
IETF 62 ? Minneapolis, MN

Terminal Room
----------------------
The Terminal Room is located in Marquette and Hennepin on the second 
floor of the Minneapolis Hilton and is open 24 hours a day beginning at 
4pm on Sunday March 6th and ending at 12 noon on Friday March 11th. A 
help desk is being provided and will be manned from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM 
every day.  The room itself consists of approximately 120 seats 
providing wired 10/100/1000 Ethernet access and 110v North American 
power ports.  There are also two duplex printers available. Please note 
that this terminal room has, in fact, no terminals, PCs or other 
user-accessible machines. It is simply a place to get power and wired 
Internet access.
When using the Ethernet connections in the Terminal Room, IPv4 
addressing is provided via DHCP. Please use Dynamic Autoconfiguration 
for IPv6. Unlike the wireless networks, IP multicast is enabled for the 
terminal room network.
Network Basics
---------------------
The IETF 62 network connects to the Internet via a metropolitan gigabit 
Ethernet link with a backup 54-megabit wireless link. The entire event 
is addressed out of the 130.129.0.0/16 block for IPv4 and 
2001:468:19ff::/48 for IPv6. IPv4 multicast and IPv6 are being provided 
from Abilene/I2.
Wireless
------------
An 802.11 a/b/g wireless network is being provided liberally in the 
Minneapolis Hilton. The areas being specifically covered are the 
meeting rooms and hallways in the conference area, the executive 
lounge, the lobby, and the bar area.
To use this network, associate with the beaconed SSID of “ietf62”. IPv4 
addressing is provided via DHCP. For IPv6 and IPv4 combined services, 
associate with the open but un-beaconed SSID “ietf62-ipv6” . IPv6 
clients should use Dynamic Autoconfiguration. Due to bandwidth concerns 
IP multicast is not available on this network.
For those interested in a bit more link-layer security, a 128-bit WEP 
enabled SSID is available. It must be manually configured, as there is 
no beacon for this network, The SSID is “ietf62-wep” and the WEP key is 
“wepisinsecure” (Hex: 7765706973696e736563757265)
For substantially better link-layer security, we are providing dynamic 
WEP keying using 802.1X.  It also must be manually configured because 
there is no beacon. Note that is dynamic WEP, not TKIP or WPA.
To use 802.1X:
1. Associate to SSID: ietf62-dot1x
2. Use PEAP/MSCHAPv2, TTLS/PAP, TTLS/CHAP, TLS
3. Do Not Verify Server Cert and we won’t verify yours :)
4. UserName and/or Realm can be anything, as well as outer tunnel 
identity for TTLS.
ex.  joeblow(_at_)example(_dot_)com
5. Password must be  “ietf62”

The proper operation of the wireless network requires the assistance of 
all users.  One of the most significant issues with wireless 
performance in past IETF meetings has been wireless clients 
automatically, or accidentally initiating "ad-hoc" networks that act as 
the official IETF wireless network, causing other users to associate 
with false IETF wireless networks.  Therefore, please disable your 
client's ability to create an ad-hoc network and as well as the ability 
to automatically join an ad-hoc network.  If you are using Windows XP 
or Mac OS X 10.3 to manage your wireless client, the instructions to 
disable creation of ad-hoc networks are listed below. If you are using 
other systems, please do what ever your particular wireless client 
management system requires to turn off ad-hoc networks.


Instructions for Mac OS X
----------------------------------
  Open System Preferences -> Network -> Airport and un-check the box 
for "Allow this computer to create networks".
Instructions for Windows XP
-------------------------------------
  Open Properties -> wireless networks -> advanced and then select 
"access point (infrastructure) networks only" and unselect 
"automatically connect to non-preferred networks".
Printing
----------
Two printers are located in the Terminal Room and are available to all 
IETF users. The printers themselves are HP LaserJet 4200Ns which are 
Postscript capable and have the duplex option installed. The printers 
are accessible via IPP, LPD, and Windows Printing (via samba).
〈        IPP - URI ipp://lpd.ietf62.ietf.org/printer
〈        cups - browsing enabled and should be discovered automatically
〈	Mac - under Printer Setup Utility use "IETF_62_Terminal_Room" under 
shared printers
〈	Windows users - In an IE window type in 
‘\\lpd\terminal_room_printers” A warning/error message may pop-up 
saying the server does not have the correct printer driver installed, 
just hit OK. Next an Add Printer Wizard dialogue box will appear, you 
need to select two things: In the left window (Manufacturer) select 
'HP'. Then in the right hand window (Printers), scroll down and select 
'HP LaserJet 4200N', then hit 'Ok'.
	o	You may see the status of the printer say something like 'Access 
denied, unable to connect' just ignore this, it should work fine.
        o       You may need to disable your VPN connection(s).

Services
------------
The following network services are provided:
SMTP ? {smtpp,smtp1,smtp2}.ietf62.ietf.org

Thanks
----------
The terminal room and IETF network are made possible by the generous 
contributions by a number of companies and by the tireless efforts of 
our volunteer team. If you see any of these people in the halls, please 
be sure to thank them for all their work!
