DHCP and firewall in an old hardware firewall case
Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2012 3:06 am
Here is my ongoing start of a project log.
I decided I wanted to take the case of an old Symantec firewall I had sitting around and turn it into a DHCP server and firewall. As it sits right now it's very basic DHCP set in the case. I used the 5v from the power supply to power the first PI.
If you notice on the front there is a nice LCD, LEDs, and buttons. I plan to use them in some way but I am not sure yet how. That comes last.
Right now I need to figure out how to mount it. Right now it just sits on a pad made of duct tape. I have a hdd caddy that locks in about the same place but can't quite figure out how mount the Pi to it. Any suggestions so I don't have to be so gentle when moving it?
Phase 2 once my 512mb Pi comes in will be a firewall and actual network jacks on the back.
