[Soekris] Performance capabilities of the net6501?

Does anyone have any estimates (or actual testing results would be even better) of the different bandwidth capabilities of the new net6501? I see that Soekris has three versions they produce with different amounts of built-in memory and processors, but I'm wondering if anyone has tested the

Thank you Denis. If you don't mind my asking, what are you running OBSD on - a CF or a hard disk? Ed On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 10:46 AM, Denis Fondras soek...@ledeuns.net wrote: Hi, Le 19/03/2012 17:52, Ed Flecko a écrit : Does anyone have any estimates (or actual testing results would

[Soekris] Clarification on using flashrd

Hi folks, I just want a clarification on using flashrd if you will - flashrd will prep an existing OpenBSD install for use on a compact flash, so what you really *should* do is use it on an install of OBSD that's only the cleanest of installs, shouldn't you? 1.) For example, I have an install of

[Soekris] Soekris -vs- Cisco ASA, etc.

Hi folks, Some of you that are members of this newsgroup and that use the Soekris devices are, I'm sure, truly experts in network security. I would be interested in hearing your feedback of how a properly set-up and configured Soekris (using OpenBSD and PF as the OS) device stacks up against say,

Re: [Soekris] What's the difference between OpenSoekris and flashrd?

Thank you Chris. :-) 1.) What's the openbsd.vnd file, and how would you mount it? 2.) If you DO mount it and wanted to edit the /etc files, I can see how you could configure PF, but you couldn't configure the NICs of the Soekris (could you?), because their respective re0 (or however their NIC's

[Soekris] Install OBSD via PXE, script, flashrd, etc.?

Hi folks, I guess this is an opinion type question: I'd like to install OBSD on my 4501 to use as my home firewall (using PF of course), and I see that you can either do that via PXE or installs like flashrd, etc. I'm wondering what pros/cons there are to the different methods? It seems like

[Soekris] Life expectancy of a compact flash?

Hi folks, When reading posts about setting up a Soekris using a compact flash, I see a lot of people saying that a compact flash cannot withstand a lot of writing before failing. 1.) Is that true? How much is a lot of writing? (My 4501 is for my tiny, home network) 2.) How do you set up an OS

[Soekris] Install OpenBSD on net4501 with a compact flash?

Hi folks, I've looked all over the web for a tutorial on installing OpenBSD on a compact flash to be used in a net4501. I've found a few tutorials using the PXE boot method, but that seems pretty cumbersome. I already have a box with a CF hard drive adapter and a CD drive that I can use to

Re: [Soekris] Install OpenBSD on net4501 with a compact flash?

Thank you gentlemen! Jeff - so OpenBSD will boot without problems when installed on one box...and then booted on a different box??? Ed ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

[Soekris] Would a net5501 reliably host a web site?

Hi folks, I'd like your opinion. I'm thinking of buying a net5501, installing a SATA drive, and using Apache on FreeBSD for use on my home LAN. I might even install Squid, but maybe all this would be too much for this device? For just my personal web site, do you think the performance of the

[Soekris] Would a net5501 reliably host a web site?

Thank you all! Hey Will - Lighttpd might use less resources (but I can't imagine that much where performance would really suffer, would it?), but hardening Apache has just got to be more flexible...I would think. Yes? No? Ed smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
