Hey PLUG, I've got a question for the network guys out there. I've been working with a client with is looking to hook up each of their client sites with T1 connections between them and their datacenter. Their is going to be about 12 offices in the next month and half that are added w/a dedicated line between each location. Each of the lines is going to be bridged between the two endpoints so its going to be a PLAN or VLAN (I guess, not sure what the terminology is exactly). So I need to terminate each connection into a router at the client location and a big router at our datacenter. Which leads me to my question. Are there any rackmount, embeded routing appliances that run on linux? I'm basically looking for a 24 port switch or greater that I can ssh into and add static routes on a per port basis. Is there anything out there like this for linux? Alternatively, i could but a full size server and stick as many nics into the PCI/e slots as I can and setup routing per interface, but I feel like this would be overkill and that there would something that would be created for this specific purpose. Thanks all. This is the biggest project I ever worked on and I'm trying to get a handle on it any and all advice would be great.
