Creating a LAN Party Network

[UGP Studios]

So our school IT department told us that they did not want the CIS class to have LAN parties on their network... So we had to create a new home for our Minecraft server and other servers. So we took spare space in our Cisco Rack and put Gigabit switches on each rack, + mounted our servers to the rack.. and we have started to wire the 50 some PCs in our room up to the network. AND CABLE MANAGEMENT so HUZZAH.. There is still a lot of work to do but wish us luck..

very cool, but use it as a life lesson as what is to come in the future. Somebody unfamiliar with IT telling you how it should be lol. They could've let you or maybe done it them selves - create a VLAN specifically for you guys. Add some network security NAC/ISE whatever and you would've been fine on their network.
