[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 amount

[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

Thanks Ron. Can you address the rest of my questions? Any further input? Thank you, Ed ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

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

Hi folks, As I look at the various ways of setting up my 4501, some of you (thank you!) pointed me to the flashrd website. I'm trying to "wrap my head around": 1.) What's the difference between the OpenSoekris and flashrd? I "think" they're basically just scripts that you run on an existing Open

[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 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 inst

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] 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 instal

[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 _

[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 net5
