EdgeOS Thoughts

Think of this as a test version, and be cautious.

I've been a fan of the Ubiquiti products for years. I still love them, even though their devices are often found on shodan. This setup works with an EdgeOS/VyOS machine to do various tasks.

• Install SSL certificate
• Set up pimd for multicast forwarding
• Install helpful scripts

vyos-misc

This section restarts lighthttp when I change the TLS settings.

# vyos-misc web restart

vyos-dns

This is used to manage static DNS entries.

# vyos-dns list
foo.example.com - 10.0.0.1
bar.example.com - 10.0.0.2
# vyos-dns update foo.example.com 10.0.0.3
Updating foo.example.com from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.3
...
# vyos-dns delete bar.example.com
Removing bar.example.com (10.0.0.2)
...

vyos-dhcp

This helps manage static DHCP records.

# vyos-dhcp list Intranet
00:11:22:aa:bb:cc 10.0.0.1 - foo
00:11:22:aa:bb:cd 10.0.0.2 - bar
# vyos-dhcp update Intranet foo 10.0.0.3 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc
Updating foo - 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.3
...
# vyos-dhcp delete Intranet bar
Removing bar - 00:11:22:aa:bb:cd 10.0.0.2

Notes

I find the whole vbash feature fascinating. However, I've noticed that configuration functions can't be accessed from other functions, which leads to a lot of duplicated code in the vbash scripts. Even when trying to re-initialize commands inside a function, they don't seem to be found. I think this is due to my lack of understanding about how bash functions work.
