A while ago I posted regarding the network when I moved into my apartment. This winter break we finally got around to working on things and taking it from a cluster of gross to a pretty little network of lights. Internally, we have 3 separate IP segments, bridged by our Cisco 2500 routers. Additionally, we now have VPN tunnels to a few friend’s apartments as well. Since the Department of Defence network is not routable publically anyway, we chose to implement our main backbone on the 11.0.0.0/8 network, with other segments on 172.20.10.0/24, 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16. I suppose it isn’t strictly neccesary, but at least it was worth implementing since we learned a lot about routing in the process. I can actually configure Cisco devices properly now!
