Norton is named after Edward Norton who is most known for circuit analysis techniques. He also had an interest in telecommunications. This name was mostly chosen because Norton was put in place to allow the analysis of Equipment/Boole's rebooting issues.

Norton is running pfSense 2.4.

Norton's purpose is providing routing and network uplink services via its single(!) gigabit ethernet port. It provides DNS, DHCP, and firewall services to the network.

Info

  • IP: 10.0.20.1
  • DNS: norton.london.hackspace.org.uk
  • Operating System: pfSense 2.4 (Latest)
  • Access: Internal HTTPS & SSH (Infrastructure Team & Trustees) and externally via non-standard ssh port.

Stats

Norton is an HP SFF desktop with an i3 processor and 8GB of RAM. It's way overpowered for this role, but was available at short notice.

Its single network port is connected to the core switch, where VLAN 5 brings in the external internet connection.

Network

More information is kept in the Network section of this wiki.

Login

Members of the Admins LDAP group should be able to log into the web interface. This is achieved by allowing LDAP as a login source, and creating a group on PFSense names 'Admins' (matches the LDAP group name exactly) with admin privileges. This is achieved by hooking up RADIUS auth.
