Re: Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall

Even a 5501 or Alix would probably be enough for that quantity of user. If your in north america, you should look lanner fw-7535 that cost less than a net6501-70. It's a great router and lanner have a really good customer support, one of the best I have seen. Michel

Re: Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall

Depending on pps an alix might be pushing it. In any event it wouldn't give a lot of headroom. Soekris 6501, axiomtek na320 etc would be better, though depending on the environment a dell r210 or some supermicro box with core/xeon e3 might also be good choices. On 2013-02-15, reza r

Hi all, Thanks for all the replies to my call for help. The soekris install command that worked was: shell# sudo qemu-system-i386 -hda /dev/rsd1c -cdrom install52.iso -boot d Turns out I was not using the raw device (/dev/rsd1c) in my command but was trying to install /dev/sd0c. -- Thanks

I'm putting a Supermicro Atom D510 in the field as a SSD-based firewall and boot server for 158 users. And a Supermicro D525 as a file server with a 1 TB drive. Where they are going, they have power issues and low-power systems, with a UPS, might just survive. Each is maxed out with 4GB RAM.
