Hi,
I'm sure most of you have an OOB network, and I'm now finding I have
some clients where I now have the same need.
So I'm looking for some solutions, I'm tending towards 3G Broadband
but am open to others; rough requirements
- works with Windows, Mac OS *and* Linux (I can leave some on the
client site, and have them install into any available computer to
diagnose their internal network that way)
- provides a static IP (v4 or v6 acceptable) address
- at least 1G / month; with options to increase should a 'problem' occur.
Slightly different use cases at different clients:
- for some, it'll be used to monitor both internal / external
networks without perturbing them
- for others, it'll be used as a means of last resort remote access
during an outage
Unfortunately none of the clients are large enough to warrant dual-homing.
Replies welcome off-list and I'll summarise responses back to the list
in a few days.
Thanks,
Anand
