  4. Campus Best PracticeTask Objective • Address key challenges for the European campus networks • Important areas of focus: • Physical infrastructure • Campus network • Wireless infrastructure • Light paths on campus • Challenge NRENs to reinforce their national efforts • The NREN should be a fascilitator that stimulates collaboration between the ”campus guys” at the university level and with the NREN itself • Get working groups up and running • Provide an evolving and to-the-point set of best-practice documents for the community. Network challenges on campus

  5. Earnest Report on Campus Issues Published January 2008 • 52 recommendations regarding issues on campus • Very congruent with the Campus Best Practice work plan • Recommendation #12: “Strengthen the collaboration between National Research and Education Networking organisations and institutions to improve the deployment of key services” • Better synchronization of national research networking and campus issues is essential for viable end-to-end services. http://www.terena.org/activities/earnest/publications.html

  6. UNINETT engineering task force UFS best practicedocuments Norwegian GigaCampus • Four years of experience with GigaCampus (started in 2006) • Have working groups in 7 areas operational • Physical infrastructure, network, mobility, security, AV, network monitoring, SIP • Have made 20++ best practice documents (but in Norwegian…) • Have run 25 national procurement processes • Routers, switches, wireless, servers, storage, printers, A/V, telephony, ADSL, software • Have rolled out network monitoring and management solutions on over 30 campuses • Contributed to getting eduroam up on running on 29 campuses so far. • Done on cite help for getting a security policy approved by the university board and in turn implemented. We done security audits on 26 universities/collages. We have also provided IRT training for 25 institutions. • Assisted universities in building project, securing an optimal physical network infrastructure. Been on cite and assisted with 30 campus core network buildouts.

  7. Campus Best Practice (GN3/NA3/T4) Work plan • Translate existing GigaCampus material to English • Focus initially (first two years) on getting results within the four pilot countries (Norway, Serbia, The Czech republic, Finland) • Organize national working groups and national workshops • Produce BPDs – on the national level – in the local tongue • Translate BPDs to English when mature • As the results and recommendations (BPDs) from the countries of the pilot NRENs become available, they will be actively disseminated to the wider European NREN and campus communities. • Available on http://gn3campus.uninett.no • The task will provide a bulletin board for BPD contributions from other countries as well. • We are planning open campus issues workshops later in the program period.

  8. Campus Best Practice Subtasksi.e. Areas of Focus • We have defined 9 subtasks / areas: • Basic infrastructure • A/V • LAN infrastructure and IPv6 • Light path service • Wireless • Network monitoring • SIP and IP telephony • Security • Procurement • Not all four pilot countries contributing to all subtasks • butall countries contributing to network monitoring!

  9. Objective of this workshop • All countries have a related history of developing and providing network monitoring tools • For the NREN itself • For the campus network environments • Objective; • Exchange experiences • Show features and future plans for home-made tools • and other (open source?) tools found useful • Discuss common denominators • Lay grounds for future collaboration • Lay grounds for planned Best Practice Documents in the area
