WiFi
Bandwidth, Leases and Filtering
- Number of devices?
- Multiply expected total no. of people on-site by 2.5 as a rough count of number of devices.
- Number of available leases?
- Get number of Wifi Access Points's (APs) around the venue and leases available per AP (in practice).
- Ask if the venue can provide additional infrastructure if no. of leases is less than the no. of devices.
- Bandwidth Capacity?
- Venue's maximum bandwidth possible?
- Network throttling / Port filtering?
- Port Filtering done by the venue? The Hack Day Manifesto has a good list of ports to keep unfiltered
- TL:DR SSH (22)
- DNS (53 — TCP & UDP)
- VPN (47, 500, 1701, 1723, 5500)
- HTTP (80)

- HTTPS (443)

- Subversion (3690)
- XMPP/Jabber (5222)
- Git (9418)
- IP Whitelisting on venue's side for various sites to download software.
- Any Distrbuted Denial of Service measures venue's infrastructure might have that will affect the hackathon?
- Port Filtering done by the venue? The Hack Day Manifesto has a good list of ports to keep unfiltered
Wifi Failover
Failover Planning
- What happens if WiFi goes down, are there ethernet ports available?
- Are the ethernet ports MAC Address specific?
- Are the ethernet ports on the same IP segment as WiFi?
- Where are the ethernet ports located?
- What happens if WiFi goes down, are there ethernet ports available?
How long till the failover is available?
- How do you communicate to attendees the downtime.
- What do attendees have to do to conenct to the failover.
On-Site Support
- On-site Support
- Anyone from venue's Network Admin team around on-site if something happens?
- (optional) Access to live information about how much bandwidth has been used and which protocols? Done via SNMP Traps of the Wifi AP's.
External Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
- External ISP Providers?
