So… I got my Debian router online. I expect to add ipv6 support to my network real soon now.<\/p>\n
The permanent storage is a 2G CF card with a CF to IDE adapter. The system has 1G of memory. The quagga bgpd has a full IPv4 table loaded. It looks like it’s eating around 180M to do that. I bet this could be reduced by storing some of those data to an RDBMS. I’ll talk with Paul about it one of these days.<\/p>\n
I plan to start the RIP daemon up here shortly, since the new OpenSolaris VM will make use of it. If I can get a static IP on the secondary link, I’ll set up another Quagga server on it and see about doing some load balancing.<\/p>\n
The system currently supports VPNs using OpenVPN. I’ve got one set up between the Everett and Seattle locations. The Seattle location is using a WRT54G running OpenWRT. It is a pretty capable box but is not able to handle a full BGP table due to memory constraints (16M).<\/p>\n
The router supports the following routing protocols using Quagga<\/a>:<\/p>\n The router supports the OLSR protocol (for wireless mesh routing) using olsrd<\/a><\/p>\n The router supports 802.1q VLAN trunking and tagging using vlan<\/a>.<\/p>\n The router supports 802.1d bridges using bridge-utils<\/a><\/p>\n The router supports the following tunnel types using iproute<\/a>:<\/p>\n The router supports traffic shaping and traffic control using iproute<\/a><\/p>\n The router supports firewalling and network address translation (NAT) using iptables<\/a><\/p>\n The router supports monitoring using snmpd<\/a>, and munin<\/a><\/p>\n The router supports intrusion detection and\/or prevention using snort<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
