What's New at This Meeting?
Looking forward to seeing you in SF! Here's some info that will be useful
once you arrive at the hotel.
Wireless Authentication System
Merit is implementing a new wireless authentication system in San
Francisco, to make it easier to isolate any problems with the
wireless net.
To access the wireless network, launch your browser. You.ll be redirected
to a gateway server and prompted for your email address. Once
registration begins at noon on Sunday, you must enter the email address
you used to register for the meeting. If you're not sure what address was
used for registration, check with the staff at the wireless desk.
Once you enter your email address, the gateway server will record your
assigned DHCP address and MAC address. Your HTTP session will then be
redirected to the URL you originally entered in your browser.
IPsec
NANOG plans to make an IPsec server
available at NANOG31, which you can use to encrypt your traffic on the
local network. This will significantly reduce the chance that someone can
sniff your passwords on the wireless network. Duane Wessels is setting up
the service and offering a hands-on IPsec tutorial at 1:30 on Sunday.
ASNs on Badges
Youlll find space on your badge to enter your AS number, for easy
identification by the numerically inclined.
Black Dots on Badges
If you handle operational security at an ISP, pick up a black dot for your
badge at the registration desk. Green dots mean "ask me about peering,"
and red dots mean "I sign PGP keys".
