Implementing GL. inet - absentee-neptune/Senior-Capstone GitHub Wiki
When it was discovered that our router was not compatible with the network traffic forwarding, our team changed their focus toward using a third party router called GL.inet Barryl. This router developed by the GL.inet company allows us to continue monitoring the network in a more in depth regard.
Physical Setup:
- Plug router into the wall
- Plug the GL.inet router into the current router to create a localized network
Technical Setup:
- Browse to ip of 192.168.8.1
- Selected English as the language
- Created admin password for the router
- Changed the admin username for the router
Admin Panel setup:
- Browsed to plug-ins
- Installed adblock
- Installed asterisk16
- Installed asterisk16-res-stun-monitor
- Installed base-files
- Installed blkif
- Installed bridge
- Installed busybox
- Installed ca-bundle
- Installed collectd
- Installed collectd-mod-logfile
- Installed collectd-mod-network
- Installed collectd-mod-syslog

These features allowed us to collect and monitor the data being brought into the router. Additionally, the logs from the logd service and the network traffic was sent to our internal syslog server.
