Intrusion Detection (IDS)

The Snort package is used for intrusion detection.

Management

Some network management is performed by SNMP; there is no specific package for this. There is a greater emphasis on monitoring than explicitly in management.

Monitoring

A number of tools are used, to monitor network usage as well as systems availability, e.g. nocol, nagios and MRTG. The IBM AWM tool is used for network performance testing, along with iperf, rude and crude.

Remote Access

The components supporting remote access are:

• Livingston Portmaster 56K/ISDN dialup
• RADIUS server
• (Microsoft) VPN server

IPv6 access (e.g. for local testbed)

A native IPv6 service from the regional network (LeNSE) to the JANET (NREN) is used. This is facilitated by use of 6PE over MPLS.

Hard coded IP information:

• IP endpoints of upstream connectivity interface
