NEW STUFF - Sisela

Introduction:

Sisela is a small, self-contained system designed to wake up in any PC and turn it into a highly capable piece of networking equipment. It can act as a bridge, router, firewall, DHCP server, DNS server, wireless access point or any combination of these functions.

It can boot and run from a single floppy disk, or a CD-ROM. It is based on Linux and supports a wide variety of network and wireless hardware, including ISA, PCI, PCMCIA, CardBus and USB devices. With the exception of some ISA cards, all these should be detected and identified automatically.

Additional features include:

• SSH access for secure remote administration
• RIP, BGP and OSPF routing
• PIM-SM multicast routing
• AODV routing for ad-hoc networks
• GRE and IPIP tunneling

The current version requires manual configuration through a command line interface. A more user friendly system is in development for the next version, which will allow web administration and extended facilities for automatic setup.

Support for other boot methods, such as USB storage devices and PXE network booting, is also planned.
