Did you know IIJ's router? The super deep study session "IIJ Technical Night Vol.4" is held

On March 14, Internet Initiative (IIJ) held a study session event for engineers "IIJ Technical Night Vol4".The fourth time, the company's deep topic about the company develops and sells the company is a deep topic.

Casual study session for engineers

IIJ Technical Night is a study session with more casual and more compact events for engineers, an event for engineers held by IIJ for three consecutive days in November every year."~ Week" handles a wide range of themes such as the latest trends on the Internet, research and development of IIJ, implementation and operation of services, while "Night" is about one hour of frame in a short frame of about one hour.It is introduced to narrow down.

The theme of this time is about the company's launch in 1998, and the company's company's company's corporate router "SEIL" series, which sold more than 100,000 units for the 20th anniversary.Although it is mainly for corporate use (for some enthusiasts), it is a thin product that is familiar to general users, but it is attractive that it can be flexible operation by combining it with various services provided by IIJ.

First of all, from the IIJ Product Promotion Department, Toshiaki Okizaka, introduced the simple history and development of the SEIL series, and the SA-WX series, which is a SEIL derivative product, introduced the SEIL series. It was conducted.

The SEIL series originally started as an ISDN line router, and has evolved as T1 line, broadband compatible (Ethernet equipment on the WAN side), mobile compatible (connecting to 3G/LTE data communication terminal via USB).Furthermore, as a derivative product, the software router "SEIL/X86", the "SA-WX" series with a wireless LAN interface, and the B route B (high real-time data can be obtained), the "SA-MX" series, etc.I also introduced that it has also appeared.

Speaking of corporate routers, products such as Cisco Systems are famous, but for why IIJ, which is an ISP, develops and adds the necessary functions to develop routers, it is its own width and quality of the service.Explained that it can be improved.

"SEIL/X86" is realized by software.In the following session, Mr. Yasuhiro Oishi of the company's IoT Institute Development Department announced the SEIL/X86, entitled "SEIL/X86", which turns the surplus PC into routers.

SEIL/X86 is a software router that runs on the X86 architecture, as the name suggests, released in April 2011.It has the same functions as the SEIL/X series, such as IPsec, L2TPV3, L2TP/IPSEC, Firewall, and Mac filtering.It is provided for virtual environments such as VMware and Windows Server's Hyper-V, which is useful as a test environment, such as launching a router immediately or copying the environment in large quantities.

In this session, the installation and settings to be installed in Vagrand Box format for VirtualBox were demonstrated.It would have been very helpful for users who manage system management in business.

The following session is titled "The strongest home router SEIL FAMILY to make it more comfortable", and Atsushi Kaneko, Atsushi Kaneko of the company's Security Pelation Center (SOC).You can hear the tsukkomi saying, "I don't want to use it at home," but if you are at this venue, the atmosphere that "that kind of person seems to be quite good" can be said to be the real pleasure of such core study sessions.

Kaneko, a heavy user who has many SEIL series, explains how to combine DS-Lite and PPPoE, a IPv4 OVER IPv6 technology, on SEIL.In addition, we introduced various functions of SEIL that are useful for remote access.

The following two sessions were handled by Yu Katagai of the company's Service Promotion Department, Service Promotion Department, Service 3 of the company.First of all, "A story about making a comfortable MY HOME Network using a line that can be easily drawn by individuals" is a low latency using SEIL to comfortably watch TV programs recorded between Nagano and Gunma prefectures.We show a story about VPN through the IPv6 network.

Next, we introduced a topic that built a safe RAS server so that you can access the NAS at home from anywhere, entitled "A story about a simple and solid remote access (RAS) environment using SEIL -chan.。

Finally, "SEIL is used for IIJ's Coco", introducing a service using IIJ's "SMF" (SEIL Management Framework) of IIJ's "SEIL Management Framework).The SMF is a zero concrete feature that IIJ has a patent, and it is automatically connected to connect SEIL to the network and turned on the power, and not only get the settings from the network, but also monitor the status of the subsequent equipment (death and death.Surveillance), status reference of each device, and setting change can be performed at any time from the server.

As a result, the major weapon is that the network of chain stores, for example, in a short period of time, can be performed at a low cost all at once.In IIJ, it is used with the SA-WX series when using (SEIL/X86) as a center VPN for services such as "IIJ GIO" and "IIJ Omnibus" or providing wireless LAN spots at events.Say.

A very dense topic was packed in about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and honestly, I felt like I was doing my best to chase, but at the same time, the company's engineers talked about the company's services with plenty of love., Operational hints were packed, and nearly 100 participants seemed to be satisfied.IIJ regularly holds opportunities for engineers and users to interact with the company, such as "IIJ Technical Night", as well as "IIJmio Meeting".If your opportunity and interest in the event are successful, why not join us once?
