Olivier Cochard-Labbé, a FreeNAS distribution creator, has introduced the release of the specialized BSD Router Project 2.0 (BSDRP), notable for updating the codebase to the developing branch of FreeBSD 16. The distribution is designed for creating compact software routers that support RIP, OSPF, BGP, and PIM routing protocols. Management is performed via a command-line interface reminiscent of the Cisco IOS. The distribution is available in builds for x86_64 and ARM64 architectures (the size of compressed installation images is approximately 340 MB).
A disztribúció főbb jellemzői:
- Két csomagot tartalmaz az irányítási protokollok megvalósításához: FRRouting (a Quagga fork-ja), amely támogatja a BGP, RIP, RIPng (IPv6), OSPF v2, OSPF v3 (IPv6), ISIS és a BIRD, amely támogatja a BGP, RIP, RIPng (IPv6), OSPF v2 és OSPF v3 (IPv6).
- A disztribúció párhuzamosan használható több elkülönített irányítótábla (FIB) kezelésére, amelyek valódi és virtuális interfészekhez vannak kötve.
- A megfigyeléshez és kezeléshez SNMP (bsnmp-ucd) használható.
- Támogatott a forgalom adatok exportálása Netflow folyamok formájában.
- A hálózati teljesítmény értékelésére tartalmaz eszközöket, mint a NetPIPE, iperf, netblast, netsend és netreceive. A forgalom statisztikáinak gyűjtésére az ng_netflow használatos.
- A support for creating fault-tolerant routers from two servers is included—operating normally, the load can be distributed across both servers, but in the event of a failure, the first router can take over the load of the second, and the second can take over from the first (using active address binding). virtual server. MAC addresses). The implementation is based on the use of VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) and CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol), realized using the ucarp package.
- PPTP, PPPoE és L2TP támogatása az mpd (Multi-link PPP daemon) segítségével.
- Sávszélesség korlátozása az IPFW + dummynet vagy ng_car használatával.
- Ethernet számára támogatja a VLAN (802.1q) működését, a linkek aggregálását és a hálózati hidak használatát (802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol).
- A megfigyeléshez a monit csomag alkalmazandó.
- Támogatás VPN: GRE, GIF, IPSec (IKEv1 és IKEv2 a strongswan-nal), OpenVPN és Wireguard.
- NAT64 támogatás a tayga daemon használatával és beépített IPv6-to-IPv4 alagutak támogatása.
- Lehetőség további programok telepítésére a pkgng csomagkezelő használatával.
- A dnsmasq has been used as a DHCP server, while ssmtp acts as the mail delivery agent.
- Support for management via SSH, serial port, telnet, and local console. To simplify administration, a tmux utility (BSD equivalent of screen) is included in the package.
- Boot images are generated based on FreeBSD using scripts from NanoBSD.
- The system update mechanism is based on creating two partitions on the Flash drive: the new version is loaded into the second partition, which becomes active after a reboot, while the other partition waits for the next update (the partitions swap places). In case issues are found with the installed update, rollback to the previous system state is possible.
- To check the integrity of the system, a sha256 checksum is saved for each file.
Az új kiadásban:
- The system environment has been updated to FreeBSD 16-HEAD and ports as of September 25, 2025.
- Versions have been updated: bird 2.17, frr 10.4.1 (with support for Lua scripting), openvpn 2.6.15, strongswan 6.0.1, dnsmasq 2.90, iperf 3.19, lldp 1.0.19, monit 5.35.
- Support for ARM64 architecture-based systems has been added.
- The installation image provides support for booting on both UEFI and BIOS systems. Reinstallation is required for migration from MBR to GPT.
- Transition from the Nanobsd toolkit to poudriere-image has been made.
- Included are packages: net/vpp, flashrom, mstflint, and Mellanox NIC utilities.
- Packages isc-dhcp44 and dhcprelya have been removed, replaced by dnsmasq.
