Tomato is a family of community-developed, custom firmware for consumer-grade computer networking routers and gateways powered by Broadcom chipsets. The firmware has been continually forked and modded by multiple individuals and organizations, with the most up-to-date fork provided by the FreshTomato project.
Notable custom-firmware projects for wireless routers.Many of these will run on various brands such as Linksys, Asus, Netgear, etc. OpenWrt – Customizable FOSS firmware written from scratch; features a combined SquashFS/JFFS2 file system and the package manager opkg [1] with over 3000 available packages (Linux/GPL); now merged with LEDE.
In case of Back-to-Back, VRF is necessary to create VLANs and subsequently sub-interfaces (VLAN headers and DLCI headers for Ethernet and Frame Relay network packets) on each interface used for the NNI circuit. In the case of eBGP NNI interconnection, IP routers are taught how to dynamically exchange VRF records without VLAN creation.
Free Range Routing or FRRouting or FRR is a network routing software suite running on Unix-like platforms, particularly Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD. Gargoyle: Active: Linux distribution: MIPS, x86-64: A free OpenWrt-based Linux distribution for a range of Broadcom and Atheros chipset based wireless routers. Global Technology ...
A virtual local area network (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In this context, virtual refers to a physical object recreated and altered by additional logic, within the local area network .
Separation of network connections do not respond to the physical location of the ports on the router. Thus, this removes the need for multiple cable and wiring management. As VLANs are segmented, it reduces the amount of traffic flow through a connection. By separating VLANs, it provides enhanced network security.
In cases where secondary/standby routers all have the same priority, the secondary/standby router with the highest IP address becomes the primary/active router. All physical routers acting as a virtual router must be in the same local area network (LAN) segment. Communication within the virtual router takes place periodically.
This is known as inter-VLAN routing. On layer-3 switches it is accomplished by the creation of layer-3 interfaces (SVIs). Inter VLAN routing, in other words routing between VLANs, can be achieved using SVIs. [1] SVI or VLAN interface, is a virtual routed interface that connects a VLAN on the device to the Layer 3 router engine on the same device.
