The Campus Network Infrastructure has provided solid grounds for the implementation of a scalable and flexible topology for the CERN's campus network. This campus network currently comprises more than 1000 hubs, over100 routers and several 100 switches. All in all, more than 2000 active managed network devices are in operation while over 15000 hosts are connected. Fully routed campus network.
Portable outlet is DHCP enabled.
A maximum of 20'000 hosts connected. Indeed the full routing of the Campus Network has been delayed by the many coaxial segments, which were not in the scope of the Structured Cabling Project. This work has shown to be extremely labour intensive and will continue until mid 2001. These steps have been very successful and have paved the path to a complete deployment of the Ethernet hierarchy. Currently, the Computer Centre has been put on this new backbone as well as a number of key star points on the site.
