Network and Terminal Room Information
IETF 80 – Prague, Czech Republic

	-= Terminal Room =-
	
The Terminal Room is located in Chez Louis on the Mezanine Level of the Prague Hilton and is open 24 hours a day
beginning at 4pm on Sunday, March 27 and ending at 4pm on Friday, April 1st. A help desk is being provided
and will be manned from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day.  The room itself consists of approximately 80 seats
providing wired 10/100/1000 Ethernet access and 220v Schuko (round two pin circular inset with ground pin) power ports. 
There is also a duplex color printer available. Please note that this terminal room has, in fact, no terminals, 
PCs or other user-accessible machines. It is simply a place to get power, wired Internet access, help desk support,
or print documents.

When using the Ethernet connections in the Terminal Room, IPv4 addressing is provided via DHCP. Please use
Dynamic Auto-configuration for IPv6. To cut down on the mess, ethernet cables have not been installed to every seat in the 
Terminal Room. If you need a cable, please ask at the Help Desk.

There are also two SIP phones available for use.  These terminate to a server in the US, so only US and Canadian numbers are
accessible. For other country codes aside from +1, you will need to use a US or Canadian calling card.

	-= Network Basics =-
	
The IETF 80 network connects to the Internet via two gigabit Ethernet links, provided by NIC.CZ and Dial Telecom.
The entire event is addressed out of the 130.129.0.0/16 block for IPv4 and 2001:df8::/32 for IPv6. IPv6 is native and is
supported by both providers.  We are supplying bandwidth for the meeting spaces, hotel wireless and in-room wired connections.
The in-room wired access has gigabit to each port, but does not support IPv6 due to lack of support by the guest room aggregation
equipment.

	-= Wireless =-
	
An 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless network is being provided liberally throughout the venue hotel.  802.11n is only available on the 5Ghz
frequencies.  Guestroom wireless access is being provided by the hotel's equipment using the "hilton" SSID and may have different
functionality than the IETF gear. 

To use this network, associate with the beaconed SSID of "ietf" for 802.11a/b/g/n and "ietf-a" for 802.11a/n.  IPv4
addressing is provided via DHCP.  IPv6 clients should use Dynamic Auto-configuration, and may use DHCPv6 to retrieve name server
information. 

For those interested in more link-layer security, a WPA SSID with 802.1X is available.  The SSIDs are "ietf.1x"
and "ietf-a.1x". Do not use WPA-PSK as that will not work.  Also, using TLS as an eap method is not adviseable, please prefer TTLS.

To use 802.1X:
1. Associate to SSID: ietf.1x OR ietf-a.1x
2. Use PEAP/MSCHAPv2
3. Do Not Verify Server Cert and we won't verify yours :)
4. Username (case sensitive): ietf
5. Password (case sensitive): ietf

If you have an eduroam account, we support authenticating via eduroam.  Simply select the "eduroam" SSID.  Use your eduroam credentials.

There are two experimental SSIDs.  "ietf-v6ONLY" is there to demonstrate the current state of an IPv6 only Internet.  Do not expect any
services to be available via IPv4 on this SSID.  There is also an SSID called "ietf-nat64" which is a demonstration of nat64 services.
This network has a specific DNS server for use with the demonstration located at node 2001:df8:0:7::1.

The proper operation of the wireless network requires the assistance of all users.  One of the most significant
issues with wireless performance in past IETF meetings has been wireless clients automatically, or accidentally
initiating "ad-hoc" networks that act as the official IETF wireless network, causing other users to associate with
false IETF wireless networks.  Therefore, please disable your client's ability to create an ad-hoc network and as
well as the ability to automatically join an ad-hoc network. 

	-= Printing =-
	
There is a printer in the Terminal Room and is available to all IETF users. The printer is an HP3525dn
which is Postscript capable and has the duplex option installed. The printer is accessible via
LPD, Bonjour, standard TCP/IP on port 9100.  The hostname for it is terminalroom-printer.meeting.ietf.org.

	-= Services =-
	
The following network services are provided:
•	SMTP – smtp.meeting.ietf.org
SMTP relay services are provided for users on the IETF network.
•	NTP - ntp.meeting.ietf.org
Stratum 2 time service is provided via IPv4 unicast.
•	DNS - ns{1,2}.meeting.ietf.org
Recursive validating resolvers are available for users on the IETF network.
Out domain name is meeting.ietf.org.

These services are being provided from both of the following servers:
130.129.5.6 (IPv4) or 2001:df8:0:5::6/64 (IPv6)
130.129.5.7 (IPv4) or 2001:df8:0:5::7/64 (IPv6)

In addition, helpful network information and the ability to see and submit help desk tickets are available on
the NOC wiki at http://noc.meeting.ietf.org

	-= Thanks =-
	
The terminal room and IETF network are made possible by the generous contributions by a number of companies
and by the tireless efforts of our volunteer team. If you see any of these people in the halls, please be sure to thank
them for all their work!
