==Advanced Testing Network Testing Network, or, Das Unternet==

* In order to securely test network devices in Advanced Testing, we've set up a secure network with minimal services to verify that devices such as switches, wireless access points, and routers work without exposing our main network to untrusted devices.

* Services on Das Unternet are provided by the virtual machine "drydock," and the network is 10.4.4.0/24. The services provided are DHCP and an httpd server on 10.4.4.1 ("drydock")/ 

* To troubleshoot, plug a laptop with a known working ethernet port into the Das Unternet jack in Advanced testing. make sure you obtain a DHCP lease in the 10.4.4.0/24 network, then navigate to http://10.4.4.1/ and look for the "It Works!" page. If these steps work, then the fault does not lie with Das Unternet, but rather with whatever device is being tested.

* Possible points of failure:
** the cable from Advanced Testing is plugged into the wrong network
** drydock's host machine is plugged into the wrong network (ask a Technocrat)
** drydock's host machine has a bad network card (ask a Technocrat)
** drydock is offline (ask a Technocrat)
