The Core Switch (Cisco C6506E) is also acting as a DHCP Server for the Computing Nodes in the <code class='host'>hsc</code> VLAN.
As the Nexus device is not DHCP Server capable, the <code class='host'>hsc</code> VLAN had been extended (using the interface ''172.17.191.253'' belonging to the <code class='host'>admin</code> VLAN on the nexus) to the Core switch which act as DHCP Server.
The <code class='host'>hsc</code> segment is never routed among the network.

== University of Luxembourg interconnection ==
 
We do not have an <code class='host'>EXT</code> VLAN on the site router.
Instead, the adminfront has a link (eth3) on the University network (VLAN 124, 10.74.0.0/16).
This interface is bridged and used by the NAT domU.

Network Architecture

The Luxembourg site is built over two central network components:

  • A Core Layer 2 / 3 switch of type Cisco Catalyst 6506E, including one single supervisor (VS-S720-10G) and two line Gigabit copper cards (WS-X6748-GE-TX). This Switch is connecting :
    • the 38 computing Nodes in 1GbE mode to the prod VLAN
    • the 38 computing Nodes in 1GbE mode to the admin VLAN
    • the NFS server (in both prod and admin VLAN)
    • the Adminfront server (in prod, admin, and nat VLAN)
    • the Renater backbone (VLAN 550)
  • A server farm of type Cisco Nexus 5020, responsible for connecting the 22 granduc nodes in 10GbE mode

Connectivity to GRID5000

The connectivity to GRID 5000 is operated by the RESTENA foundation (for the Luxembourgian side) in collaboration with Renater. The dedicated Grid5000 line has been propagated from Nancy toward Luxembourg (see Global network map) via Esch/Alzette.
