I decided that I wanted to setup a simplified server for use on a given vlan and/or a use-case in which I need these services and do not want to rely on a router. So I will need the following services:
- DHCP - gives out IP addresses for the subnet that it is connected to
- NTP - provides a time service for the subnet
- DNS - provides a localized domain name service for the subnet
- Radius - provides Authentication and Authorization for the subnet, specifically for switches and wireless access points
- LDAP - provides directory services for the Radius server to maintain username/password combinations, allowed MAC addresses, ranges for subnet addresses
- Webmin - provides a web based server update process
Seems like a tall order but it is just setting up things in an orderly manner.
