RIP is one of the most basic and easy-to-use routing protocols there is. It has its limitations, but it can be a viable solution for small environments. With RIP it is possible to exchange routing information between devices, and as it is a standard protocol, not only FreeBSD or Linux can use it, but it’s also implemented in many different networking devices, such as routers, firewalls, and even some layer 3 switches. https://tetragir.com/posts/2018/01/basic-networking-on-freebsd/ Sun, 14 Jan 2018 12:00:00 +0200 https://tetragir.com/posts/2018/01/basic-networking-on-freebsd/ In this article I would like to introduce the very basics of networking in order to allow the reader to be able to separate VMs from each other or to organize them into logically different segments. This is far from a detailed description of networks, of course! https://tetragir.com/posts/2018/01/zfs-hot-spare-with-zfsd/ Thu, 11 Jan 2018 20:00:00 +0200 https://tetragir.com/posts/2018/01/zfs-hot-spare-with-zfsd/ Since FreeBSD 11.0 was released, it’s been possible to use a disk as a hot spare in a ZFS zpool. This means, that under a few circumstances, zfsd will take a predefined disk to replace another one. https://tetragir.com/posts/2017/02/using-lldp-on-freebsd/ Sat, 25 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0200 https://tetragir.com/posts/2017/02/using-lldp-on-freebsd/ LLDP, or Link Layer Discovery Protocol allows system administrators to easily map the network, eliminating the need to physically run the cables in a rack. LLDP is a protocol used to send and receive information about a neighboring device connected directly to a networking interface. https://tetragir.com/posts/2016/05/cisco-virtual-wireless-controller-on-freebsd-bhyve/ Fri, 27 May 2016 15:00:00 +0200 https://tetragir.com/posts/2016/05/cisco-virtual-wireless-controller-on-freebsd-bhyve/ In this guide a Cisco vWLC will be installed on FreeBSD bhyve. https://tetragir.com/posts/2016/03/using-letsencrypt.sh-with-h2o/ Sun, 27 Mar 2016 15:00:00 +0200 https://tetragir.com/posts/2016/03/using-letsencrypt.sh-with-h2o/ This will be a really short guide about how to set up the H2O webserver with letsencrypt, and how to automate it. https://tetragir.com/posts/2016/01/booting-freebsd-on-a-raspberry-pi-zero/ Fri, 01 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0200 https://tetragir.com/posts/2016/01/booting-freebsd-on-a-raspberry-pi-zero/ Luckily, I was able to get a Raspberry Pi Zero not so long ago. Naturally, my first move was to try to boot FreeBSD on it. Although there is no official support for the Zero on FreeBSD, given that the hardware is very similar to the Raspberry Pi A model, I was able to boot it. The process is quite simple. https://tetragir.com/posts/2015/07/using-bhyve-on-freebsd/ Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:00:00 +0200 https://tetragir.com/posts/2015/07/using-bhyve-on-freebsd/ I wanted to write an article about bhyve for a long time now, and fortunately I recently had the time to do just that. Bhyve has the potential to became a very sophisticated, and advanced hypervisor.
