hi everyone I'm new to this forum and to the world of networking. I can setup a computer or server on a network given all the information, but I'm not a network specialist. I need to setup an openbsd router to connect 3 physical networks. In another job I knew of someone that did this using gated, but the gated project has been desolved and is no longer freely available. I've been looking into MRTd. But for some reason it seems to me that all we should need is a bridge and not a router. I've also read on creating just static routes on the the openbsd box. The openbsd box has a 4 port NIC in it and another single port NIC that will uplink to the rest of the network. Again, pardon my ignorance but I've yet to find a good networking tutorial that will help me understand how all this network stuff works, let alone set it up in OpenBSD. I have an OpenBSD firewall setup at home, that was pretty easy using PF. Also, if you recomend buying an inexpensive router for this application other than having an openbsd box do the routing, I'm open to those suggestions. I really appreciate any guidance or information you can offer. Thanks.
