3/15 If I want to use my Pentium100 as a router, do I need do download
LRP? Can't I just use routed/ifconfig stuff? Please help -newbie
\_ Never heard of LRP. If you want to do serious routing look at
gated from http://merit.edu and zebra. A P100 is probably not enough
to be a serious router unless you have a really small network
an very few outbound paths.
\_ I use Oxygen (http://leaf.sourceforge.net It's a descendent
of LRP. There are others in the LEAF family. A P100 should
be fine for a small network (home DSL/cable connection).
\_ I use a p166. It's more than fast enough for my home net.
There's a million ways to do it. Pick whatever software set has
the best docs and makes you feel most warm n fuzzy.
\_ For three years I've used a P100 with 32MB ram as a:
1. DNS Server, 2. Mail Server, 3. Web Server (10 domains)
and drum roll please: 4. Router... Standard RedHat will do it,
it just takes some configuring...
\_ I've used both linux and openbsd as routers on a p100, p133, and
p166. Never had problems.
\_ do you need a special software to do this? Or can you do it with
that routed thing? -newbie
\_ OpenBSD comes with everything you need.
\_ OpenBSD comes with everything you need. Routed will handle
a few networks, but it isn't a scalable solution (gated
is much better). I don't know about Linux 2.whatever, but
back in the 2.0 days, linux came with everything you needed. |

| leaf.sourceforge.net An easy to use embedded Linux network appliance for use in small office, home office, and home automation environments. Although it can be used in other ways, it's primarily used as a gateway/router/firewall for Internet leaf sites. Project Goals: Create an inclusive environment for current developers of the Linux Router Project to release their modifications to the public. Support continued development of Linux Router Project derived LEAF images and packages. Affiliates We thank our 46 affiliates for their time and effort. Their cooperation with us greatly reduces the effort required to create releases. |
