Hi to everyone,
Is it possible to install other applications on a SnapGear box ? I need support for routing protocols so I would like to install routed or gated. Can it be done?
Thanks, Corrado
Add applications (routed) to SnapGear

Hi Corrado,
The SnapGear Linux distro has the routed (and zebra) source ported already, so you can just enable either of these when building your own image.
It is not recommended to build your own image and put it on a retail SnapGear unit though, because you will lose the firewall, CGI web configuration GUI, and a few other system programs and tools - If you want a Firewall/VPN SnapGear unit with dynamic routing capabilities, you should look at upgrading to one of the higher models.
Regards,
