[tech] SNAP in the UCC clubroom

[David Adam]

I reconfigured clearwing (the WRT-54GL wireless AP running OpenWRT) this 
evening so that members can get at least some internet in the UCC clubroom 
while repairs from the storm are taking place and we argue over how to fix 
things.

Unfortunately I forgot about the rather paranoid firewall and locked 
myself out at one point, so had to wipe the existing config (for future 
reference - hold down the front button as the device starts and you should 
be able to telnet to a read-only system at 192.168.1.1; then run firstboot 
to wipe the config).

It's now set up to repeat VLAN 13 on all of the "LAN" ports (tagged on all 
ports) and the wireless (untagged), and is connected to the uplink. The IP 
is 10.11.0.13 for now, and the root password is the same. The UCC uplink 
is plugged in on one of the ports.

The port marked "Internet" is statically configured to 192.168.1.1, so if 
you want to reconfigure it you can plug a cable in to that port and hit up 
the SSH server.

http://synack.me/blog/openwrt-and-vlans is a useful reference (via [TRS]) 
- but KISS applies, I'm pretty sure I was trying to be too clever when I 
messed up the first time.

P.S. Where has the Ubiquti NanoStation Loco that was in the machine room 
disappeared to?
