If I buy a high-quality wireless router, can I plug the internet directly in to it and share it amongst everyone in the office? With the same router allow access to a printer plugged in to [...]

I’m using SNMP (polling not traps) to monitor a Snap Server with MIB-II (RFC 1213). Since there is no specialized MIB for this device I am stuck via standard MIB-II. My main goal is to poll the disks and make sure they are not disconnected and mounted. I’m really just looking for best practice here since I’m not much of a Linux admin. The snap server has a RAID 1. My plan is to monitor [...]
