Subject: Second call for virtual sessions Just a reminder we are looking for feedback and suggestions - so if you have an idea for a topic or you find these interesting, please let us know.
Happy 2021 NETMAN (and WIRELESS-LAN). To help get the year off to a good start, we have been brainstorming for our next few virtual sessions. Below is a short synopsis of a couple of the ideas we are considering, please take a look and let us know if these would be of interest. Suggestions for other topics are welcome and as always we appreciate your feedback. Our goal for 2021 is to try and establish a regular cadence for our virtual meetups and we are aiming to have one every 6-8 weeks. Once we have the topics confirmed, we will send out some tentative dates and get a poll going. 1. IT Plans for the new normal - What is your campus planning for IT staff as we begin to move towards some sort of normalcy? Will you return to campus full time, is remote the new normal, or is your school somewhere in between. This virtual meetup will be an open discussion on how these changes, have and will continue to change how we operate. 2. LAN/Campus designs and best practices - Based on the recent activity on NETMAN, this virtual session will focus on LAN/Campus network design and deployment as well as a discussion around best practices. 3. POE future state - The need or in some cases demand for powering devices from the network is escalating. How are your organizations meeting this need? What are the challenges on the horizon: lighting, building/facility management systems, card access.... As always, we appreciate your suggestions and feedback.

We're still 1g at the edge, which has been fine for any desktop needs. However, with current Wi-Fi capable of going over 1g I'm not sure what I should be targeting. I've been trying to "wait and see" what's going on but would love to hear some collective wisdom from those in the trenches. I realize it's complicated (older wiring, single/dual ports, etc), but any advice for people refreshing their edge switches would be great. The recent talk of zero-trust, network-trust, and authentication trust were very interesting. COVID-19 has certainly upended some ideas about "trusted" networks with so many working remotely. We've had to make changes to our systems to no longer assume that on campus == trusted. I would be interested to hear more from people further down this path about trying to manage things more based on identity. Probably less popular, but I'm always looking for IPv6 advice. I'm just starting a push towards IPv6 internally here on campus. We don't have enough public IPv4 addresses so we already do NAT, and I figured we should look into NAT64 and try to simplify our internal addressing. I just turned on NAT64 for myself and am v6-only which has already uncovered some issues. Am interested in anyone else that has started down the v6 road (especially dealing with vendors who continue to pretend it doesn't exist). Thanks, Jason -- . Jason Healy Director of Technology .
