FireBrick 2700 Configuration: Difference between revisions

mNo edit summary
 
(103 intermediate revisions by 3 users not shown)
These instructions are mostly applicable to the 2500 too. The difference between the 2700 and the 2500 is that:
*The 2700 has a USB port so supports 3G fallback, the 2500 does not have a USB port.
*The 2700 has faster throughput - 350Mb350Mbit/s on the 2700 compared to 100Mb100Mbit/s on the 2500.
 
 
=Factory Default Config=
The factory default config of a FireBrick looks like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Here we have an example of the FireBrick using NAT:

Here we have an example of setting up VoIP on the FireBrick, inbound and outbound calls, inbound URI calls, and outbound URI calls to AAISP:
==Services - NTP Client:==
Set time from AAISP time server, local-only by default:
<syntaxhighlight>
<ntp ntpserver="time.aa.net.uk"/>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
==Services - Telnet Server:==
<voip source-ip4="217.169.11.113" source-ip6="2001:8b0:119c:acf2::1">
Enable telnet server, local-only by default:
<carrier name="AASIP+441234567890" allow="81.187.30.110-119 90.155.3.0/24 90.155.103.0/24 2001:8b0:0:30::5060:0/112 2001:8b0:5060::/48"
<syntaxhighlight>
registrar="voiceless.aa.net.uk" username="+441234567890" password="secret" extn="1000"/>
<telnet/>
<carrier name="URI" to="@domain.name" trust-cli="true" extn="1000"/>
<telephone name="John" display-name="John" username="John" password="secret" extn="1000" carrier="AASIP+441234567890"/>
<telephone name="AAISP-Sales" extn="400222" uri="sales@aa.net.uk"/>

<telephone name="AAISP-Support" extn="400999" uri="support@aa.net.uk"/>
</voip>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
and here we use Direct Dial In, extn= is removed from <carrier> element and ddi= added to <telephone> element:
==Services - HTTP Server:==
 
Enable HTTP server, local-only by default:
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
<voip source-ip4="217.169.11.113" source-ip6="2001:8b0:119c:acf2::1">
<http/>

<telephone name="AAISP-Support" extn="400999" uri="support@aa.net.uk"/>
</voip>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
=Remote Login=
==Services - DNS Service:==
 
Enable DNS service, local-only by default:
Here we allow limited IPv6 addresses access to Telnet and HTTP, this stops you locking yourself out, in the example below 2001:8b0:119c:acf2::2/64 is used but you will need to use your own IP address instead, it also allows AAISP staff to login:
<syntaxhighlight>
 
<dns resolvers="217.169.20.20 217.169.20.21 2001:8b0::2020 2001:8b0::2021"/>
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
<telnet allow="2001:8b0:119c:acf2::2/64 2001:8b0::/47" local-only="false"/>
<http allow="2001:8b0:119c:acf2::2/64 2001:8b0::/47" local-only="false"/>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
then add a user account for AAISP, don't forgot to change password to something else:
==Port Grouping and Naming:==

Port grouping for dual PPPoE sessions:
