Hello my good friends, recently i have been introduced to a system new to me, Mikrotik Router http://www.mikrotik.com/
I was wandering, is there some alternative to make Fedora work like that? i mean, have to configurate all in graphic mode?
The real problem that i am facing is that the my network needs some bandwidth control by IP and those ip have to me given by the dhcp as static by MACADDRESS. and have to be routing between the internet and my internal servers of apache, samba, and mysql.
Is there something like webmin based but for routing and bandwidth control?
Thanks in advance and my best regards to all.

A Google on "Linux+QOS" turns up a lot of HOWTO information, that may have what you want. I don't know of any graphical tool, but I rarely use or want such an interface, so that doesn't mean there isn't a solution available.
Thanks in advance and my best regards to all.

Do you know soekris (http://www.soekris.com) or ALIX or acrosser? They provide single board computers, with oder without enclosure, and offer different Linus or BSD distributions. Some models come with VGA and keyboard/mouse ports.

Thanks for the replay.
I will search more about it Peter.
An thanks Bill, currently i have a HTB set up by service, http, download, etc. i was looking for an alternative to it that can do traffic shaping by ip.
Thanks again and my best regards.

What about freeradius (http://freeradius.org). I am just guessing that you are trying to be an wireless ISP or trying to make hotspot solution.

Hello again,
After some research about what Peter said i realize that your looking about the hardware of mikrotik, i was asking about the ROUTER OS that they use con that hardware. Something that can do the same, without editing and configuring all those services one by one. I already have a Fedora 11 Server with DNS, Apache, Samba, Mysql, DHCP and Squid configured and working. What i want to do is manage all of them, like adding users to Squid, and setting the bandwidth they can use by user, that kind of stuff. A GUI interface is going to save me a lot of time.
Also, i have Webmin installed, but it doesn't give me that kind of management.
I apologies for my misunderstanding.
My sincerest regard.

To be pedantic, you won't manage them all with one interface. Even for tools for configuring one particular thing, you'll be switching between different pages for different aspects of the configuration of it. So, on that note, it's not that different to use different tools to configure different things. Though, compared to some of the tools that worked on two or more related, things (different services that work together), you lose that convenience.
There's a plethora of GUI configuration tools that can be called up from the menu, and I think there's still a control centre application which bungs them all into a window (instead of a menu).
But I've always found the GUI tools to be limiting. For instance, they often only supported a small amount of the options you could configure, and sometimes you had to understand how to manually configure something to work out the GUI tool, anyway (e.g BIND configuration).
And, from time to time, they were out of date. The thing that they configured had changed, over time, but the third-party tool for configuring them was still doing things the old, and incompatible, way.
Or they required the configuration file to be set up in a particular way, or they stored a configuration somewhere else and updated the main configuration with their own, making it impossible to manually configure things as well.
Thanks Tim, i actually think the same way as you, i think is better to use the console way of doing things, when i was presented to the Router OS of Mikrotik i think it was marvelous because the time i expend in doing all the same think as the Mikrotik does is way much more. So my question was done in base of the possibly less time in doing my work :D
But again, i think you are right., wen there is an update the GUI tools often falls behind. and of course these tools not stain the same "malleability" as the traditional way.
So that finish my doubt.
Thanks to all that have answer.
Best regards.

While it's a bit dated, the LATRC Howto (http://lartc.org/) is a pretty good source of info. It doesn't cover IFB (instead covers IMQ), but the popular router software supports IMQ and in many cases doesn't support 2.6 kernels and hence doesn't support IFB.
