Thanks Mike for the response!
This helped me decide to push the Netreg installation for this Christmas
break.
With that, I am asking my next question to those of you at small
universities (2,000 or less students and networks of 1000 nodes or
less).
How long did it take for you to deploy Netreg? I know it will be
different per each network, but a ball park number would be fine. I am
looking at 300 university owned computers and about 600 students in our
dorms. Luckily for me our university shuts down for two weeks starting
this Monday. Which is a perfect time for me to get this up and running
(more comp time for me :-)). I will then have a week where only
fac/staff will be on campus which I will use to get them situated with
Netreg and then will deal with the Students when they return on the
11th/12th of January.
Does this seem like a feasible plan?
Thanks again in advance!
Matt

Matt, I honestly thought someone had answered your question.
Reconfiguring for VLAN's in NetReg is very simple. I wouldn't even
considered it a stumbling block.
Right now you have a flat network, so you will most likely have a few
subnets in a shared-Network clause with a single gateway address.
When you move to VLAN's, you'll have a subnet declared for each VLAN,
but you will not need to use shared-network's with a different gateway
for each device.
We'll be here when you do change.
Mike

Morning,
I am in a tough bind right now with my network. We have a very flat
network and access to it is as easy as plugging in an Ethernet cable
into a port on campus. Do to the powers at be, my budget is quite
limited and so I am setting up our first Netreg box. However, in the
next 1-2 months we should be going to VLANS. I am trying to decide if I
should hold off on Netreg till those are in place or is it pretty easy
to update Netreg to handle VLANs. I am new to Netreg and I have only
started to learn Linux in the past 3 months.
I would like to have something in place when students come back Jan
12th, to make sure we do not get nailed again by a blaster like virus.
Is this feasible?
Thanks in advance for any help!
~Matt
