Vyatta Multi Interface Traffic Shaping

As a follow-up to my Traffic Shaping article, I was asked how this could be applied to multiple subnets with different speeds. Fortunately, it's very easy to configure.

This article assumes that Vyatta has three network interfaces

eth0 - In my case, this is the main interface the connects to the internet
eth1 - This is my Guest network that I want limited
eth2 - This is my Virtual Machine network that will have a different limit.

Use Vyatta to Limit Guest Network Bandwidth

A problem many of us have in our offices or our homes is the need to have Guest access to our network but not hog all the bandwidth. What I did here is use Vyatta Quality of Service (QoS) settings to limit the bandwidth on a guest network through a traffic shaping policy. You can add other QoS rules like prioritizing VIOP if you wish but as that is more complex, I'm not covering it in this article, I'm just focusing on all bandwidth.

Create a NAS using Ubuntu

In this article we will create a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device that will function as an NFS and Windows File Share.

While this article is not designed to teach you how to install Ubuntu Linux, it will let you know how to configure it to work as a NAS device. This article assumes that you have installed the base Ubuntu Server on a computer that is on the network.

Vyatta Quick Setup

This is a quick guide setup guide for the Vyatta open source router. This article assumes that you have already installed Vyatta either on physical hardware or in a virtual machine. For more information on creating a private network in ESXi Server see this article.

Vyatta can be downloaded from http://www.vyatta.org

Version 6.3 has a new LiveCD installer so there is a little work to get it going.

Automate ESXi Backups

Ok, so you've setup ghettoVCB on your ESXi or vSphere Hypervisor to backup your VM's but your sick of logging into the server and running the command manually. Don't fret, there is a solution. 

This solution requires that you have SSH enabled on your ESXi Server, you have previously configured ESXi backups with ghettoVCB. If you have not done this yet. Please look at how to complete these tasks in the ESXi Tutorial section of this site.
