I have a new job and I have been traveling just a little bit. <br><br></div>Everything is done on my end. I have the configurations done and I've been able to simplify the logic substantially. Everything has been upgraded and set up. The equipment that Coresite data centers donated turned out to be quite flexible with what wasn't limited by the lack of cisco proprietary controller. There are some functionality problems that don't make them perfect, but they are fine.<br><br></div>However. I have come to the conclusion that shipping cost is a major factor. The equipment weighs a lot. This is the primary reason why I haven't shipped anything yet. Dominica suggested that we instead provide them with wireless bridging equipment that they could distribute signals across the neighborhood. This is a more cost effective approach including being lighter. The ubiquiti solution tht Nick used in St. John seems to be the right one in my mind.<br><br></div>I am ready to send gear. The question is which? To be honest, I'd rather donate enough equipment to give Craig and team the wireless distribution they seek. It would be lighter and easy to handle. That option would take me another week to two. Then shipped. Option 1, the cisco gear would take the same, but do to the cost constraints I'd be concerned with how much equipment would be sent. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I also have configured a bunch of Raspberry Pi's to provide different low pressure functionality. They are perfectly find in the current environment as caching name servers. I can send those immediately as they are extremely light. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The only outstanding question I have is about power. If CW can provide an ethernet connection that will allow for DHCP to work, we are in business. That leaves power and the question there is if it is adequate enough?<br></div><div><br></div>What would you like me to do at this point? If you want to talk live, let's put some time aside tomorrow afternoon. You are aware that Thursday is a major US holiday? I could speak with you on Friday if that is better. <br><br></div>I have to tell you that I have learned quite a bit from this experience. I am going to document it and hopefully if this happens again, the enthusiasm can be turned into action much quicker. The shipping and access piece seems to the the major blocker, and not only cost. I hope that whatever we send gets stored for future emergencies and can be replicated for others to do the same.<br><br>Thanks for all your help!!! <br><br></div>Best, <br><br></div>Martin<br><br><div><div><br><div><div><div><br><br><div><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 10:29 AM, Jason Hynds <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jason.hynds@partsinc.biz" target="_blank">jason.hynds@partsinc.biz</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>Dear Martin and Group,</p>
<p>Thanks so much for this great job that you are doing!<br>

<p>In Barbados we are willing and eager to receive the kit for
Dominica for further transshipment it via our military's relief
shipments channel.</p>
<ol>
<li>We have already managed to use to same channel to get
essential supplies directly to our ISOC Dominica counterparts.
Thus, it is a tested and working channel. Our Dominican
counterparts are looking forward to receiving the kit. They
still have IP communications challenges that it may help them
improve upon.<br>
</li>
<li>We are concerned that the relief shipment window is not
necessarily indefinite, so we would like to use it whilst we
can.</li>
</ol>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is there a way that we may assist more from Barbados? <br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>I think we are nearly in a state where we can perform some
systems administration and distribution of some of these kits as
well, if they were in Barbados.</li>
<li>If everything is preceding normally we also wanted to reach
out to Tortola to find persons we could deploy a kit. We need to
know what is possible before we attempt cold contact with the
persons from Tortola.</li>
</ol>
<p>----</p>
<p>I've cc'ed my ISOC Barbados working group which is assisting with
this project on the local end and helping to keep me organised.<br>

I also built a RPi with a recursive name server and
piggybacking a RIPE atlas probe. That gives us a remote access
platform and measurements/up/down. We can lock the name server
to the local ISP allocations I suppose.<br>
<br>
</div>
The last question I have is: Does CW have a working port with
DHCP anywhere in Dominica?<br>

Chris, <br>

Here's the config. I'm working on buttoning down the
edge router now. I have the everything running from an
ethernet port on my home internest service with a DHCP
address from my provider. <br>
<br>
</div>
I have all three radios connected and reachable. Looks
like the lack of server disable some functionality, but
the rest is there. I couldn't figure out manual channel
seperation. Of note, the AP's themselves will QoS
connections. Maybe simpler to limit their and replace
the edgemax with something much dumber and cheaper.<br>
<br>
</div>
I think we leave it "open" on shipping. This is not fancy
by any means, and I'm wondering how much more we really
need.<br>
