Actually, the IAXy is really very immature, and is desperate for several
enhancements:

Yeap, rigth.

1. The MAC address needs to be visible on the unit. As it stands the only way to determine the identity of the thing is packet sniffing or looking through logs. This is tolerable in a lab, but ridiculous in production. What if I want to program 100 of them, and assign IP addresses based on MAC addresses?
Be methodic.
Place a label of the ip used.
Is on production, at fixed position: use fixed ip.
Is on production, not fixed position: shellscript + xforms and you have
a popup to tell where your iaxy is. Not the best solution, but, not a
critical issue. At least not for me.

2. DNS support. The IAXy needs to be able to handle names.
Static * box ip using vpn. You need extra hardware, but due the dhcp and
nat-piercing capabilities, you can live without this...

3. Restore to factory. There is currently no documented method to resore
an IAXy to factory defaults. This means that if you have a stock of them
that may or may not have been pre-configured, you'll need to do more
packet sniffing to figure out what the IP address is.
Yes, this is an issue, iaxy unit do have something like a reset switch,
I used, no luck. That where I relized to be methodic. Iaxy at
production, label, not at production, provided with a generic
192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 gw 192.168.0.1 * bpx
configuration. Not to die for.

4. Some kind of TFTP, SSH or whatever is needed to allow connection and
configuration of the device.
ssh needs a lot of hardware, tftp, maybe... providing works good for me.
You may have a point.

I also love the IAXy (I use them happily in my lab), but it is much more of a beta device at this point. I really couldn't feel comfortable deploying them at customer locations until the management functions are improved.
I think, iaxy is a very well tougth product, and I´m using it at
production. Mainly becose, it doesn´t have too much technical issues, it
works perfectly with * and there is nothig a vpn + routing cannot solve.

Lukly there is a lot of people.


It'll get there I'm sure.
