You are here: Home / Hewlett Packard (HP) / HP Proliant ML110 G6 Released – Still a worthy virtualization work or home lab server?

Vyatta is a powerful enterprise class software router that has some really incredible features. It has a CLI (command line interface) as well as a web interface. I’ve gotten a few requests about configuring it as a front system but until now have only really worked with Vyatta as a pure routing appliance internal to my network.

It has been my traffic cop between my lab subnet, user subnet, and server subnet but now I’ll try to configure it as a front end based on an exchange I had on another thread. This should be able to give you some examples with getting started using Vyatta as a front firewall. If you don’t have the software, you can download a free version, called Vyatta Core, from Vyatta’s website. You have to register, but don’t worry, they won’t spam you and they have extensive documentation on the product that you can pull down after registering. It’s an excellent resource to learn and practice your routing skills, especially since you can stand up the product on random hardware or in a virtual machine. Vyatta even has downloads specific to VMware implementations.

Check it out and come back if you’re interested in seeing this post through.. And now for the good part.

I’ll follow the format of entering commands (all CLI based) and explain the commands I entered and why I entered them. This information comes directly from the Vyatta documentation.

There are ready-made virtual appliances for both VMware vSphere and Xen, or you can download the LiveCD iso. Make sure to download the docs while you are there.
