Hi,
Short question. Is it possible to save the configuration to a cf disk in the appliance? I know you can download the config, but that's not enough. Every change made to the firewall should be written directly to a cf disk. Or should we create a cronjob to do this??
We're planning to use a full installation on a hard disk in an appliance we put together. Those machines will replace a bunch of commercial firewalls (netasq) at our custumers sites. Why you might think? Great features (multi wan, failover, etc) without any extra costs. If you search the same functionality with a commercial product…
Thx.
All you should need to do is disklabel, newfs, mount the CF over /cf and update /etc/fstab. Some FreeBSD administration experience is helpful here of course ;) You might be able to get away with the CF being FAT32 here and just mount that in /cf.
