Network Upgrade/IP Re-addressing

15 Minutes Dan ByrdAssistant Director Telecommunications

and Networking


Campus Network Upgrade

A three year plan facilitating increased reliability, functionality and speed for the UTSA network


Current State of the Network Current network design was initially deployed

in 2000-2001

20 Main Switches – A typical campus building has 1 main switch providing backbone connectivity to all areas of the building.


Current UTSA Network Design


Network Upgrade Benefits

Increased Speed Ability to provide Gigabit speeds to the desktop - While the default

connectivity provided to end users will remain at 100 Mb/s, the upgrade will provide a 10 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) backbone connection to each network closet within a building. This increased bandwidth will enable connection speeds of up to 1 Gb/s where required for research or other needs.


Network Upgrade Benefits

Increased Flexibility Traffic engineering – The new MPLS network will allow UTSA to

determine specific paths for network traffic which will provide greater security flexibility.

VLANs - With the current network design, departmental networks are limited to a physical geographic area. The new network will provide a wide range of options for extending networks across campus (VPLS, L3 VPN, etc.)


New Network Design


Flexibility Scenarios


Campus Private Re-address

Current network address scheme provides a class C public address space per network closet (250 hosts)

Future network address scheme will provide a Class B private address space per network closet (500 hosts)


Campus Private Re-address

Each building will move into private address space as network equipment is upgraded.

10.x.x.x network will be used 10.1.x.x for JPL 10.2.x.x for SB Etc.


Private Addressing

NAT (Network Address Translation)

Dynamic NAT translation for DHCP clients to 129.115.x.x addressing

Statically addressed systems can be 1 to 1 NAT translated as requested for public accessibility


Private Addressing

NAT (Network Address Translation)

DNS changes will be made as necessary as public addresses are changed

Administrative servers in JPL Operations will remain publicly addressed


NAT Overview


Network Project Overview

Timeframe The network upgrade is being implemented over a 3 year time

period ending December 2011.

In year one the core network residing in the JPL datacenter as well three other main switches will be upgraded to support 10 Gb/s. In year two, seven main switches will be upgraded to support 10 Gb/s connections. In the final year, eight main switches will be upgraded to support 10 Gb/s connections.
