WAH Network Switch NPS details

This is NOT a comprehensive list of NPS units in the WAH, only those used with network switches

Note that in some cases the NPS units listed here also supply power to devices other than network switches.

1 Establishing an SSH connection to some of these NPS units can take about 20 seconds.

2 In most cases, additional individual user accounts are possible (and advisable!)

3 only older weak encryption is available, use 'ssh -c 3des-cbc' to connect using an older cipher that is used by these NPS units

4 The North Platform NPS uses copper-to-fiber media convertors for its network connections.
Though the media convertors themselves are relatively unlikely to fail, it is possible to power cycle one of them on netpower2.starp, plug A4.
If one is unable to connect to north-nps1 to powercycle nplat-s60.starp, then one could try powercycling this media convertor as a last resort short of entry to the WAH for troubleshooting.


Additional Notes:

".starp" is short for .starp.bnl.gov (130.199.60.0/23)
".trg" is short for .trg.bnl.local (172.16.0.0/16)
"scaler" is short for .scaler.bnl.local (10.0.1.0/24)

In order to access an NPS or test if a given network switch is online (with ping for instance), one must first get to a system that has access to the same subnet as the NPS or switch in question. 
Most machines using a 130.199.60.0/23 address (aka "starp") will not have access to .trg or .scaler (and vice versa).
The trgscratch machine has network interfaces on all three networks, so is particularly useful in this regard.
And a final note - DNS resolution is not 100% shared across the three networks.  In particular, the scaler network has its own DNS servers which are not configured on all multi-homed hosts. The point being that using the numeric IP address may be necessary instead of the FQDN in some cases.
