This is my first post as a community member ! I wish to use a Openbgpd using OpenBSD box to connect and peer with LINX members. I would like to know A) Has anyone in the UKNOF community heard of any other network operator working successfully with this setup? Yes it was first done with NetBSD and GateD almost 20 years ago; a large number of current LINX members use a similar set-up. B) LINX provides connectivity using Single Mode Fiber in Telehouse North. I am looking to learn more about how to connect the Openbsd box Ethernet network to fiber network of LINX i.e. Media converter vs a managed switch. and what make and models will be best option ? I am looking for a cost effective and flexible solution either Media converter vs a managed switch. I suggest you carefully look at the MOU for the LINX about how to connect. I'd also suggest talking to the LINX directly as they can often offer the best solution to how you connect - plugging in another switch is a big no no typically. Cheers, Neil.
