Sept. 17, 2008 SLLUG meeting: Using Vyatta to replace Cisco gear

Tristan Rhodes will be presenting this month on using Vyatta to replace Cisco gear:

Presentation:

Vyatta is an open source network appliance that can be used as a router, firewall, and VPN server. Vyatta is based on Debian Linux, but there is no need for Linux knowledge because Vyatta operates just like a network device. Vyatta will allow you to replace your over-priced routers with open source software running on industry standard server hardware. This presentation will demonstrate the capabilities of Vyatta and will include some basic configurations using the command line interface and the web-interface.
