LXC provider for Vagrant – Fábio Rehm

I’m going to need to spend some more time with LXC and vagrant.  Had a former coworker who did quite a bit in vagrant and it sounded interesting, but seeing the tie between Vagrant and LXC… I’ve just got to “get it” better.

Aruba wireless data mining whitepaper

Posted February 4, 2014 By Landis V

Recently got an email about Meraki’s product, specifically highlighting their analytics capabilities.  I’m not much of a Meraki fan myself, too “cloudy” for my tastes; I’m still very much a believer in controlling your own infrastructure.  I didn’t dig into the analytics functionality as I don’t have  a need at this point, and I’d be very surprised to hear any wireless infrastructure vendor in business today say that they couldn’t do behavior/spatial analytics.  I did a quick search on Aruba’s capabilities in that regard just as a quick confirmation and ran across the linked whitepaper.

It did get me thinking/wondering about whether there’s any cohesive effort for similar analytics in the open source space.  I’m sure it would be quite do-able given the time and resources.  I guess that’s probably the key difference between sales/marketing and tech – the money is where somebody “needs it now”, but the depth of understanding and capability come in when you have the opportunity to build it yourself and really get familiar with the details.

I had looked this (or something like it) up not that long ago as I wanted to do some VLAN trunking through my Asus RT-N16, and I managed to lose it before getting it implemented.  It took a little bit of digging, but I think this got me back to a good starting point at least.

My plan is to trunk several networks from my basement up to a manged switch upstairs, from which I will support a second WAN router for a test network as well as an internal 5GHz wireless network , and possibly some additional internal segmented networks.  I have quite some distance to go to accomplish this yet, but at least now I have the base reference to the physical/internal port mappings again.  That’s an hour and a half I won’t have to spend next time.

Interesting build.  I have traditionally looked at Devil Linux in the past for firewall applications, but this may be another to check out.
