Project #38 - Integrate the Edgerouter-12p into the Rack

 I have had an Edgerouter-12 POE router in my toolbox for a long time.  It is time to integrate this router into my Rack.  I will start by making the router integral with the xPod RPis and will incorporate a master switch in the rack to activate it.  I am thinking of:

  • Using it to be the router of choice for the xPod
  • Using it to be the octorouter for the Monitoring Network (EXP6 and EXP10)
    • Will have to setup the octorouting ability via CLI
  • Plugging in EXP6 and EXP10
Update: I have placed this project on hold until I am able to get the Edgerouter-12 POE to play nice.  It seems to be randomly losing it's mind and resetting my configuration.  I will have to play with it some more to get it integrated into the rack.
