Update ACL without resetting card

[bairdc]

Would it be possible to make StarOS be able to apply changes to the ACL without resetting the cards? Often times, I have to make changes to the ACL during regular daytime hours, and it annoys the gamers and customers running VPNs when everything stops for a few seconds while the cards reset.

It is something we can add. I'll add a menu item under each card to re-apply it's ACL list.

Thanks!

ditto for routing changes :)

Tony,

Just wondering if this feature will be available shortly or if it'll be a while. I'm not trying to rush you or anything. If it's going to take some time to implement this, it's not a big deal. I'll just start trying to schedule my ACL changes for non-peak hours.

:)

Thanks!

I believe it is scheduled for inclusion in the next release or two.

Thanks!

I was thinking about upgrading, but before I do, I was wondering if this feature is in yet. Thanks!

Craig

[tony]

I am hoping to have it in the next release.

Thanks!

Tony,

This feature will be released?

Thanks!

[tony]

Very soon. I was hoping to get it out with the Radius authentication update, but it never made it before the weekend. I'm aiming for the next release for this.

Thanks!

[rasimoes]

Great! :D

Tony,

I'm guessing this has been implemented, but I can't seem to find any sort of "Apply ACL" item in the menus. I'm wondering... does it re-apply the ACL when you do an "Activate script changes"? Thanks!

Craig

[tony]

Activate script changes only handles cbq, nat and firewall. It does not handle card-specific settings such as ACL.

[bairdc]

So where do I make it re-apply the ACL without resetting the wireless cards? Is this capability not there yet?

Thanks!

Craig

[tony]

It's a pending feature that is not complete yet. It will be introduced with the support for ACL in the Atheros driver.

Thanks!

Couldn't you achive the same effect with the radius-based ACL?
