A 1U Intel Atom machine in the rack in the basement, specs etc [http://www.nexcom.eu/Products/network-and-communication-solutions/desktop-appliance/desktop-appliance/communication-gateway-dna-1110 here]
Boole is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Boole George Boole] who was instrumental in differential equations and algebraic logic and ultimately leading to Boolean Algebra.


Boole is our core router, has both FTTC lines connected to it. DHCP and DNS server.  
Boole is a 1U Intel Atom machine ([http://www.nexcom.eu/Products/network-and-communication-solutions/desktop-appliance/desktop-appliance/communication-gateway-dna-1110 Nexcom DNA1110]) running [http://www.pfsense.org/ pfSense 2.4.]  The original hard drive was replaced with an SSD after it had died.  


=== Issues ===
It's providing routing and network uplink services via its four gigabit ethernet ports.  It provides DNS, DHCP, and firewall services to the network.


On boot unbound can fail to start due to ipv6 dad not finishing in time for it to bind to it's ipv6 address, see this:

* IP: 10.20.20.1
* DNS: boole.london.hackspace.org.uk
* Access: SSH (Infrastructure Team & Trustees)

----
Boole is a Nexcom DNA1110 system built upon an Intel Atom D510 dual core 1.66ghz processor with 4 x 1Gigabit Intel 82853V Ethernet ports. It has 1 or 2GB of DDR2 667/800 Memory and one full-sized PCI expansion slot.
We have have installed the latest version of the rp-pppoe ppp plugin so we can use a 1508 byte mtu to avoid having to do mss clamping.

= Network =
Sometimes we lose the ipv6 default route, doing <code>poff a-and-a ; pon a-and-a</code> makes it work again, but we don't know the underlying cause.
