im setting up yet another Astaro firewall and I just wanted to post a idea.
It would be nice to have a option to do a mass creation of IP Aliases. Today when setting up my firewall I had a long period of time having to add 249 ips to eth1. That was not fun giving each one a name (ip1 eth1:1 63.90.x.x).
Also It would be nice to create ranges also in the network definitions section. I also had to create multiples in here because we nat out all of these ips! So yes I had to do one for the internal 192.168.1.2 and one for the external 63.90.x.x Talk about alot of time...that right there was almost 500 entries totally in over 740+ entries I had to manually do.
It would be nice if you guys wrote script where I could enter a name and a range and you do something like this.
For Network Definitions:
Enter Name: internal_ip
Range: 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.249
Then with this it creates the following:
internal_ip1 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255
internal_ip2 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.255
Etc.
With the alias same thing:
Enter Name: ip
Enter Range: 10.200.11.1 to 10.200.11.250
Enter Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Output:
ip1(Interface eth1:0-ip address 10.200.11.1 - Netmask 255.255.255.0)
ip2(Intergave eth1:1-ip address 10.200.11.2 - Netmask 255.255.255.0)
anyway this would be good to save time. I would love this option as I plan to implement this firewall for alot of people and this could save me a ton of Time. I wouldn't really use names like that.,,,but you get the idea [:)]
