Linux Router / Firewall
Hi,
Does anybody know of a good quality, rack-mountable, bare bones, hardware router/firewall that I could install Linux on. Prefereably one designed to have linux installed on it, something that does not come pre-loaded with other manufacturer routing/firewall software, preferably. I've seen articles with regards to the Linksys WRT routers being re-flashed with linux, but could not find anything with regards to a rack-mountable router/firewall being reflashed with linux. I currently run a Watchguard X700 in my office, but I do not like the GUI based administration, I do not have the control I would like have. I know I could use an old PC, and install linux with a bunch of NIC cards, but that's not the route I would like to take. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
What is a rackmount router / firewall appliance without an operating system on it? it's a server with extra network ports.
Plenty of generic rackmount boxes to do this, e.g. http://www.advantech.com/ePlatform/NA/ People flash linksys routers becuase they are cheap small and fun. No one spends good money on a mid to high end firewall and then nukes it. you seem to want to do things properly, so do just that, don't look to bastardize expensive hardware! |
