by MUUG meeting announcements 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

*** Please note the updated meeting location below *** The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: VLAN Theory and Implementation VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow you to partition a physical network at the data link layer, "creating the appearance and functionality of network traffic that is physically on a single network but acts as if it is split between separate networks." (Wikipedia) VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) allows traffic from multiple VLANs to travel between Ethernet switches over the same physical link. In this presentation, Gilbert Detillieux will introduce some of the basic concepts of VLAN setup, and show you how this can be implemented. Examples of implementation will be given using Cisco IOS commands and typical Linux network interface configuration. RTFM: Kid3 This month, Wyatt Zacharias will present and demonstrate Kid3, the KDE ID3 tag editor. The group usually holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ******************************************************************* Please note our *NEW* meeting location for this month: *Room 1C16A* Centennial Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence St. and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets.
