Build your own IPv6 lab on the cheap, part 1

Too bad you have to sign up to read it (I'm not going to ...). Anyway I've already built my setup:

It's been up for more than a year now. I still need to do more work on the firewall. I'm working on those notes still.

I have been signed up for quite awhile- no ill effects have been noticed; nothing to fear.

Good idea I'll bet theres a lot of people that will get hit by the curve and it'll likely to be common to see some really odd ipv6 nets as people get up to speed

on my home setup I have a HE tunnel from my router and ospf lan routing for ipv6 (got a /48 from HE and split it into /64's)

It's kinda proprietary; I personally would rather learn how to do everything with the individual packages (dhcpd, dhclient, etc.) and ip[6]tables. My other concern is whether Vyatta will always make its distro free (see also RHL, but of course, the mitigating factor there is Fedora and CentOS, among others). Of course, there are a lot of people looking for this sort of thing, where this CLI or even a Web interface causes several things to be done (resolv.conf, dhcpd.conf, iptables, ip6tables, etc.) per command or command group, so to each their own.

Also, Re: infoworld's stupid little free (no charge) registration/login and BugMeNot...I wonder if the printer-friendly version would be useful, or if it still requires credentials: »www.infoworld.com/print/152528

English is a difficult enough language to interpret correctly when its rules are followed, let alone when a writer chooses not to follow those rules.


Jeopardy! replies and randomcaps REALLY suck!

I just hit the "print" thingy. It may or may not have been after using the BMN info, so I wasn't sure if they guarded that too with needing to log in. And that was the resulting URI.

I hate all the crap they usually put on pages, not to mention the pagination (have to go to page 2, then page 3, ....ugh). Most "printer friendly" pages don't paginate. The only thing I can think of that's really for is an advert money grab (about as useful as the proposed $25/yr/bicycle plate NYS is trying to pass). There's really no other logical reason to break an article into multiple pages. If their whole article won't fit on my screen, I simply scroll...so it's gotta be to change the adverts on pg 2, pg 3 and so on.
