Nearing the End of Server Deployment

Iptables firewall settings have yet to be implemented but most other features have been configured and installed in the CentOS server. Development packages are installed along with text editing and office suites, i.e. Open-Office suite, gcc, javax, emacs, vi and other updates are a majority of the default installation. Here are the remaining obstacles to overcome before the server is installed into the desired location.

- 2 Ethernet cables need to be run from the ceiling in order for both servers to have a constant internet connection.

- Outlet power needs to be run to the servers through the ceiling into the back room.

-A decision needs to be made about if the Linux Server is going to be used as a DHCP server for the network before the project comes to a close.

-IPtables needs to be set to the highest default setting so that only certain needed services will be used in order to provide the highest possible security.

I'm not one to condone the Linux Box as being a DHCP server because the router is already doing DHCP for the network. I have other aspirations with the project like installing LAMP, and other development tools and services. There is about a month left in the project and our team should be able to handle the rest of the milestones within the next few weeks.
