Install with Cisco kernel.

…this was the one I bought some computer components from on a side like Craig's list and not some one I know.

Consider yourself lucky and don't have as an advisor any more.

Just try plain pfSense and you'll have a firewall that would measure up to most alternatives, including Cisco.

Okay.

Thanks for all the help. I will stick to plan pfsense.
I just thought it could be fun if I could do it.

The original reason to get the machine together was to play around whit pfsense and nothing else.
but if I could combine it whit Cisco could it be perfect now that I am trained in Cisco.

Stick with the original plan.

Use Cisco Packet Tracer for that if you don't have access to the genuine hardware.

Will do then

@JJakaJonas:

… the Cisco Linux kernel ...

How much sense would it make to install a 3rd party Linux kernel in a FreeBSD system?
Is it supposed to work at all? I doubt that but I'd be interested to hear otherwise.

As I stated in the start. I'm new so there's a lot of stuff I don't know.
I heard a statement of a thing I could try and that's what I'm investing right know.
so far the answer is no chance of working.

And VPP???

Google for Netgate VPP and you can find articles, discussions and so on. e.g. this twitter:

In the first link to about vpp it stated that it works on Ubuntu, cantos and derbian.
also that it's a open source version of Cisco.

Also a statement I found on twitter was that pfsense 3.0 might be build on it.

So I don't see how it helps me now?

@phil.davis:

Google for Netgate VPP…

ouch, thank god my daytime job keeps me (way too…) busy. I'm really running behind current IT technologies it seems. But IT is not my main focus (SDVoE etc is, though). I guess that's part of what is called "getting old"... :(

On the other hand: you learn something new every day.
Thanks guys!
