Thanks guys! ----- Original Message ----- From: Travis Johnson To: Tom Sharples ; WISPA General List Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 7:57 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Imagestream (was Vyatta?)
We installed several Intel Gigabit cards in our old Imagestream and they worked great. They were the $40 Intel desktop cards. Travis Microserv Tom Sharples wrote: Just received the imagestream gateway router (vintage 2006 or so) , unfortunately it's equipped with 4-port T1/E1 cards, not ethernet cards (sigh). Does anyone know if these will work with standard (e.g. 3com, intel, whatever) 10/100 ethernet adaptors, or do we have to use a proprietary card?

Well, for that many NIC included, you got a steal. A single 4port Intel oem Gig card PCI-e costs $430 new. (Actually that is probably not true, cause its probably an older model that doesn't have PCI-E nic cards.)

I picked up the Gateway model, equipped with nine 4-port ethernet expansion boards, for $625 on Ebay. Seems like a good deal altho I don't know what this model costs new with the added ports. Way more than we really need. I'm looking forward to trying it out tho.

Call support and they can fix your ImageStream issues. Need to push a little bit and use the phone. To this day I've not had a response to my emails without a phone call.

I don't mind the three living ImageStream TransPort routers we inherited. Once I changed the editor to default to vi, I was pretty happy. I am not much of a fan of the interface configuration, though it is currently more flexible and transparent than pfSense for multiple subnets on the same interface. The shellcmd plugin lets me have a GUI to get around the current inadaquacy of the interface configuration GUI of pfSense 1.2.3. I do find that I will make a change to the default route on the Interface Configuration file; it will reload sand; and I will have to go to bash and route delete default, route add default gateway newip manually. Or, I will put a new subnet on an interface and can't get OSPFd to talk on that interface until I reboot the box. Just stopping and starting OSPFd didn't work. I don't know if that is an indication that I have bad hardware or what. Using suspect gear for your first experience with a platform is probably not the best situation for figuring out what is what. The other 4 inherited TransPorts all have one or more blown ethernet ports so I haven't been able to use them. I can't point to anything on the other three that screams "I'm busted." Having to reboot is really annoying. Having to use the shell to manually apply desired configuration changes, annoying, but at least they give me the tools to do it. :-) I like flexibility. The biggest problem I have with going whole hog for the ImageStreams is, it would take me much longer to train guys to run the ImageStreams than it will take to train them to run pfSense. The secondary problem is cost : pfSense on Alix: $204 3 eth pfSense on soekris: $275-350 4 eth ImageStream on TransPort: $900 new 4 eth $600 e-bay. 3 eth We only do about 20 to 30 Mbps where I will have these deployed. More horsepower would be wasted. The BGP running pfSense box is a bit beefier than the Alix boxes, but didn't quite cost as much as a new TransPort.

I am awaiting that fix myself. In the GUI anyway. 1. mount -u -w / 2. vi config file 3. Don't change the config in the gui again until it gets updated to handle more peers. That's why I love pfSense, if the GUI doesn't support it, I can still make it work. I only need one peer for now. The only reason it needs to speak BGP is so I can announce a subset of our ARIN space to the transit provider. I've been tempted to just pkg_add quagga. But my long term goal is to not be the only guy here who can manage the network. I love PFSENSE - Chris has done an awesome job on that project. Durn tootin'.
