Description

Introduction to NSH and how NSH can be used to manage a typical firewall / router for a small business.

OpenBSD is a hugely capable networking operating system which has a broad range of networking features that can support Intra-networking and Internetworking for business. With diverse features like the multitude of VPN / IP tunnelling standards supported and the PF firewall, coupled with Native routing protocol support such as BGP, OSPF & EIGRP, OpenBSD can be integrated fully with just about any enterprise network regardless of size and complexity.

OpenBSD has many native tools built to allow an administrator to configure and support these networking features. NSH Command-line interface sits on OpenBSD and is intended to provide the network administrator with a configuration environment that is intuitive and similar to that provided by many networking appliance vendors on the market.

Configuration tasks such as network interface and IP setup, Firewall and DHCP setup will be discussed and demonstrated.
