Basic iptables tutorial

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
In this article, I will provide a brief tutorial for using iptables.  This article applies specifically to ImageStream routers, but more generally, it applies to ALL Linux based devices that use iptables for the filtering of traffic.  In another article, I will address firewalling in Mikrotik, which is, also, an iptables based firewall.  Some parts of this article will apply to Mikrotik, so it may be worth reading even if you are a pure Mikrotik shop.

ImageStream CPE device configuration

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

The ImageStream router (http://www.imagestream.com) is a Linux based router that offers all the flexibility of any other Linux system with the added advantage of ImageStream’s special driver component architecture and management interface called “Inetics”.  I won’t go into the details of the Inetics platform (that’ll be another article some day), but it should be sufficient to say that it is a trememdous feature in ImageStream’s router platforms.

This article will detail the steps needed to successfully configure an ImageStream router as a replacement for a consumer grade CPE device such as a Linksys, Dlink or even the higher end Cisco Pix.  This article will deal only with the configuration of a router with ethernet ports.  We will see all the steps needed to get the customer online and functional.  Items such as VPN and firewall will also be covered at a later time.
