Hi everybody,
I intend buying a N3200Pro or the newly released N2200, though I really need one feature that is missing:
Is there a way to get a tftp- or syslog-server on one of those?
I already had e-mail contact with thecus support, which was not too enlighting...
Why do I need it? My parents run a hotel here in austria and we offer complimentary Internetaccess to our guests. Recently laws changed and we are obliged to keep track of the internettrafic.
My hotspot solution (Zyxel G-4100v2) offers the possibility to write a sessiontrace to a tftp- or syslog-server. I don't know what the difference is, but these two options are possible.
So the thing missing is a destination server...
I already checked the internet for alternatives and except for really big solutions and the possibility to have our compuer on all day long, I just found a small NAS from Zyxel (NSA-220 LE). This box, though, doesn't provide all the cool features the thecuses provide...
Another thing is, that I'm very constrained on my budget - my dad would not be to uninterested to shut the whole thing down...
What I already found on the internet: The N3200Pro runs an apache-webserver (at least it reads on the wessite); and at apache.org I found a Class TFTPServer (http://commons.apache.org/net/testapidocs/org/apache/commons/net/tftp/TFTPServer.html). Does anyone know if this is what I'm looking for and how to implement it? I'm absolutley no programmer
If anybody has an idea/solution to my problem, I really appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance,
Patrick
