Great, now I am looking at hardware firewalls on ebay for a side project to do
-
2x PA-220
2x PA-4020ugh
I guess I will start the teardown threads soon...
-
Nice thing about ebay local pickup, i might have both of the 4020 firewalls tonight.
-
Yes! Ha ha Yes!
-
Ooo, what is this?
I see something promising
-
So the data plane is basically a big pcie network card?
Also PCI? This shit is older than I thought
-
I'm in... First order of business would be to image the drive I guess
-
And this is why we keep old shit laying around
-
Moved the motherboard onboard VGA to disable, and viola
-
oh snap - we can make this a dual xeon board
-
So I set the cmos date to 2024, and then got the no-vga beep code...
After finding that the CMOS reset jumper was never installed, I got the CMOS back to default
Booted an opnsense iso .. nope
-
oh fuck, 32bit xeon.... wow
-
also, 1GB of DDR2 400
let me check my stash
-
Okay, now we are getting something
Found a stash of 2gb pc2 reg ecc
Got the date up to 2024
The old CMOS battery was cooked
-
omg, i can finally take an image
turns out, when using bad ssds that still test "okay" from a NAS... are actually bad.
who knew
-
A minor annoyance, all screws are stainless. My magnetic driver has no effect. Nice build quality I guess.
I just want to boot an OS so I can see WTF the dataplane board shows up as in LSPCI
-
I seem to be ignoring the obvious... replacing the motherboard with something not 3000 years old.
-
I got an X11 generation motherboard installed with some minor chassis modification. With the ASIC card installed, the server wont post. no beeps, no vga, no anything.
Going to stop fucking around with the hardware, and start to disassemble the disk image i took,
