Edubuntu wiring suggestions

The default install without internet connection

The above picture shows a typical network setup for a single classroom without internet connection. If you follow the [http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes install notes] and especially the [http://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPServerSetup server setup procedure] this install will be the fastest and easiest.

A setup with internet connection

This is the same wiring with internet access, you need to put the right router IP in your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (as outlined in the [http://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPServerSetup server setup] doc) for the thin clients. And make sure there is no dhcp server running on the router.

A setup with two network cards in the server

You can also route your traffic through the server as shown above if you have two network cards. This setup makes sense if you want to run a proxy server on the server machine or simply want to separate your thin client network completely from the rest of your network. Additionally to the normal [http://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPServerSetup server setup] doc, you should also look at the [http://wiki.edubuntu.org/ThinClientHowtoNAT NAT Howto] to see how to setup the routing on the server.
