MAR – Sept 2009
October 2nd, 2009 by Daniel Raymer
"Wins" for the month of September:
1. First up, the University and Medical Center now share a unified view of RFC1918 addresses, the reverse space for the Medical Center networks, and the foward zone for mc.vanderbilt.edu internally to the Vanderbilt community. This resolves a multitude of issues where data between the two organizations were out of sync causing conflicting name resolutions. Additionally, this supports the new secure relay for servers email implementation by providing proper reverse resolution for both VU and VUMC.
2. Additional departments were trained for self-serve IPAM and DNS. The Owen Graduate School of Management & the Vanderbilt University Law School now are empowered to administer their own IP and DNS space.
3. The Diamond IP environment was upgraded to to version 3.0.71 resolving some serious memory leaks present in the earlier version.
4. DHCP migrations from NetID to Diamond IP continue with the current migrations at 90% completed. This puts us well on track to have the NetID environment retired in November. That covers the major events of the month.
