This versus some sort of APU system probably comes down to availability.
It hasn’t been long, but hopefully I get a few more years of life out of this system. The system runs at a comfortable temperature. An RJ45 serial port with support for BIOS redirection. It’s more than 5x faster than the ERL, which is perhaps less relevant for simple routing but makes it useful for heavier proxying work as well.įour Intel gigabit ports supported by em. A win? I haven’t tested it, but it also has the VMX extensions necessary to support vmm. It has four cores, but interestingly, no hyperthreading. The CPU is a fairly old Atom that’s still in production because it’s part of Intel’s extended life industrial line.
There’s not too much to say about the Protectli FW4A. Nevertheless, I was now in search of working hardware. The ERL can still route packets in a living dead state. As it turns out, the internet was gone because of a billing hiccup, so I’m not sure when the failure occurred. Reboot with serial, kernel loads, but stops before getting into rc. The backstory is that one day the internet stopped working. It’s a small industrial enclosure, fanless, with four ethernet ports.
