The 40m has two networks: the LIGO general computing network and an internal "martian" network.

LIGO Caltech network

IP addresses on this network are in the form 131.215.114.XXX and 131.215.115.XXX .
The wireless router connected to the caltech net has hidden SSID "40m" (2GHz), "40m5G1" and "40m5G2" (5GHz). The router is nominally located on the top of the computer rack in the office area.

Martian network

IP addresses on the martian network are in the form 192.168.113.XXX
The wireless network is on the martian network.

Gateway	192.168.113.2
netmask	255.255.255.0
nameserver	192.168.113.104
nameserver	131.215.125.1
nameserver	131.215.139.100
nameserver	131.215.254.99

See the Martian host table for IP address assignments on the martian network.
When you want to add a new host to the Martian network read this.
To ssh to one of the martian computers from a GC computer, ssh into controls@nodus, then use name (or name.martian) for the name. i.e.ssh pianosa.martian
Note that all the access from outside should go through nodus, while the connection from inside to outside is gatewayed by the NAT router (192.168.113.2).

Wireless Network

On Jan 6th, 2016, the Martian wifi router was replaced with a Netgear R6400. Link to the corresponding ELOG entry

The router supports a 2 GHz network (11g) named "40MARS" and a 5 GHz network (11ac) "40MARS_5G". These two SSIDs are hidden.

The martian IP address of this unit is 192.168.113.232.

Wireless Bridge for GPIB instruments

On Jan 8th, 2016, a new wireless bridge (NETGEAR EX3700) for GPIB instruments was installed.

Device Name: EX3700_1, Fixed IP: 192.168.113.233

It accepts ethernet (wired) devices with fixed IP of 192.168.113.XXX

How_To_Configure_NETGEAR_EX3700

Nameserver and DHCP

chiara runs the DNS and DHCP for the Martian network, set up largely in the manner detailed in this website.

Configuration files can be found at

chiara:/etc/bind/named.conf.local
chiara:/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

and other files in those same directories.

Mount NFS filesystem

If you want to mount the /cvs/cds NFS filesystem on a computer already on the martian network, add the following line to the file /etc/fstab

chiara:/home/cds              /cvs/cds        nfs     rw,bg,nfsvers=3

Then make the directory where the /cvs/cds dir will be mounted, mount the filesystem via

mkdir -p /cvs/cds
sudo mount /cvs/cds

-The wireless network is part of the Martian Network.  The Martian ethernet is bridged to wireless via a Linksys Wireless-G access point with IP address 131.215.113.220.  Note that the wireless access point is only bridging the wired and wireless networks--it does not do NAT.   To access the outside world, your network settings should be 
the same as given above for the Martian network.  The configuration password for the wireless AP is written in a manilla folder in the usual place where equipment manuals are kept.

- the forward look up (name to IP address) can list multiple names for the same IP address.  use this to give IP addresses to "services" not just specific computers.  For example, "ns.martian" is the name server, and can have the same IP address as "linux1.martian".
