Harry,

The description on the website refers to "with 3 NICs" for 
RED/ORANGE/GREEN.

Is this the most it will accept or is there a spare slot for a fourth? 
 I am looking forward to BLUE.

[IPCop-user] LinITX Light Firewall Appliance 3 NIC

From: Jaco Lange <jaco@e-...> - 2003-11-05 21:36

Can anyone give a review on this LinITX Light Firewall Appliance 3 NIC
It uses IPCOP 1.3 on a flash card.

I like the idea of a flash card, I just had it about with hard disk
failures.


Many Thanks
Jaco

This machine and IPCop have been discussed for a while on the mailing 
list.  Do a search.

In summary, it works great.  I've had a couple installed for almost a year.

Beware, fixes 3-5 are not on the system and adding fixes 3 breaks 
stuff since the ram disk in the /etc/lilo.conf is deleted during its 
install.  To get around this log in as root, make a copy of 
/etc/lilo.conf somewhere, apply fix 3, compare the new lilo.conf and 
the old one, use an editor to add the ramdisk statement back in the 
new one, issue lilo from root.  After lilo runs, reboot your box.

BTW, my distributor dropped the price of this box to $245 last month.

When I get the chance, (been a bit busy with new baby arriving early) 
I'll make up a new flash image with fixes 5 included.

Depends on the motherboard that is installed.
They have several mini-itx boards with three nics built in, and depending on
the case you use, there is one PCI slot with a riser card so you can add
another nic.

I have one of the newer boards, the 1Gig processor with only 1 NIC, for some
testing.

You can plug in as many as you want and the linux kernel should pick them up
(eth0, eth1, eth2, eth473...). IPCop, however, only utilizes a max of 3. You
could manually configure the other one (add iptables rules for it, etc.),
but that's beyond the scope of my knowledge and desire. I'm pretty sure
someone has posted something about how to do that before. Might want to
check the archives or ask here for more help if you're hell bent on doing
this.

Your information is a little date, Ipcop at least 1.4 and up supports four
nics now:
    RED, GREEN, ORANGE and BLUE right out of the box.

There's a business card sized wireless card available.  It plugs into 
the back of one of the USB connectors and sits on the disk carrier. 
It's an Atmel chip set and costs about $80.  There are Linux drivers 
available on Source Forge and from the vendor.  The ones from Atmel 
are not Open Source.  I'm just starting to look at what it will take 
to make the box into a super duper wireless access point/router with 
IPCop + drivers + tools installed.

Three? OnBoard? Does the chief motherboard designer have shares in a 
software firewall company?

I also like Harry's suggestion of a USB wireless board, though I'd 
prefer it external so I can get it "up high".

Oops, I menat to say two NICS

Not really, but Via the manufacturer does understand the market for these
things, I was talking to a rep recently and he lent me a unit to "play"
with.
Via currently has 12 models out:
    CL6000E - 600mhz, 2nics
    CL10000 - 1Gig, 2nics
    MII6000E - 600 mhz 1 nic
    MII 10000 - 1 Gig 1nic
    TC6000E - 600 mhz 1 nic
    TC10000 - 1 gig 1 nic
    ME6000 - 600 mhz 1 nic
    ME10000 - 1 gig 1 nic
    EPIA-5000 - 533 mhz, 1nic
    EPIA-800 - 800 Mhz, 1nic
    VE5000A - 533 mhz, 1nic
    V8000A    - 800 mhz 1 nic
    V10000A - 1 gig 1 nic

Of course all those models have various other features which you can look up
on their website.
The rep said that in the next quarter, we should see boxes running up to 1.7
Gig .

He mentioned the BLUE and waiting for 1.4 in his post, so I didn't mention
it as he appeared to already be aware that was new in 1.4.

It's on a relatively short wire and has a two foot wire and has a 
flat magnetic base.  Unfortunately the cover isn't magnetic.

see http://linitx.com/shop/product_info.php/cPath/14/products_id/145 for the
info
on the Light system with 3 NICs and an ATMEL wireless module.

We have had the wireless working under Linux, but haven'tried it with IPCop,
mainly
because I haven't had the time to put together a build environment for
IPCop.

Its important to note that this wireless device can only be used in ad-hoc
mode, and as it is a USB module the range is not as good as a PCI device.
(the receive sensitivity is not as good)

If you click the small picture of the system you will see a picture of the
rear of the system showing 3 NICs and the reverse SMA antenna connection.

The Light systems provide a maximum of 3 NICs but you could use a USB - Fast
Ethernet adapter to add on an extra interface, we have tested the D-Link
DU-E100 with good results.

Hope this info is useful,

Nick.

Why not upgrade to 1.3? :)

1.2 is an old version and will likely drop out of use more and more rapidly
(especially following the launch of 1.4).

Also, it's not appropriate to hijack a thread. In the future, please start a
new message, rather than simply replying to an old message and changing the
subject.
