Since 9 screens are obviously not enough (see 9 Screen Wall 1), Petraea built a 16 screen one.

Current Status

Most of the scripting has been copied over from [9 Screen Wall 1] and is semi-working. In order to complete things properly, the internal networking needs finishing.

  • Internal IP range: VLAN1, 192.168.0/24, set untagged on #2-#8, tagged on #1
  • External VLAN: 2, set untagged on the external port and #1
  • The switch is set up on 192.168.0.254

The current idea is to set up DHCP on #1 on interface eth0.1, set MASQ up between the two interfaces, and allow DNS forwarding over that.
