Hi there.
We have a very interesting Embebed FreeBSD base system using
Netgraph, BGP, Voip over IP (SER and Asterisk), PF, Remote Desktop Client
(netboot), VLANs, Q-in-Q Vlan, VPN, L2tp, pptp, Xmail, Dhcp server, Wireless
etc.. All the setting and config files are created by a "central management
Platform" (Web Interface and Database) . We have more than 600 of this
devices running different services for 4 years. We would like to release an
open free version of the system and also a commercial one and we would like
to know if you know about some kind of "Ethernet switch" from 8 to 24
ports
able to run Freebsd and also if somebody could give us an opinion or ideas,
we would like to know if this could be an interesting idea to do for the
Freebsd community.
Thanks

Do you think about doing lan bridging with FreeBSD? That's Ok for a few ports, but with many of them it's better to do in hardware. I've build sn ARM based board with an 820.1q capable switch, which is controlable by FreeBSD, but this is still a switch and a FreeBSD host although they are on a single board. It's a 5 port switch with 1 port to FreeBSD, but it's not a major difference to use switch chips with more ports. And finally you can still use a 08/15 manageable switch and control it from FreeBSD - even if it's in a different place. You really should be more specific what you mean. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de support@fizon.de
