linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I am looking for some advice on networking equipment for a OpenStack deployment. I currently have a single ADSL connection coming into a building with a static IP and nothing connected to it currently. I have two servers one for a nova controller and one for a compute node. But what networking equipment should I look into? What I think I need: Router for ADSL to give static IP on an Ethernet cable (Do Cisco make these?) Switch that's VLAN compatible for different networks in OpenStack Has anyone done small deployments like this. How have you set it up? Thanks, Dave. (HowTos)
