slitaz as a router

| September 22nd, 2009

well not a full blown router yet, but good enough for static routes. So its quite simple to get your slitaz box to act as a router, just install iptables, with the command

tazpkg get-install iptables

and once that is installed just type in the foll. command as root

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

and there you have it, you slitaz box is all ready to forward ip packets (tell you the truth, im not sure if you even need iptables for routing, i still need to learn this stuff on linux).

anyways next work on slitaz is to start a pppoe access authentication server and then hook it up with freeradius, later i’ll start work with quagga, though  i have already compiled it before, i never got to work with it, neither have i packaged it, so hopefully by the end of the month ill finish these three.
