[sf-lug] SF-LUG meeting notes for Monday April 16th 2018

[Rick Moen]

Correcting word-choice gaffe:

> Definitely generous of Aaron -- but I'll repeat what I said about your
> now-security-compromised Netgear:  The Siemens SpeedStream 4100 is _not_
> an ADSL modem.  It is an ADSL modem _and_ also does:
> 
> o  routing, including RIP version 1 & 2, Spanning Tree Protocol, IGMP
>    Multicast, NAT, port forwarding, DHCP client and server, DDNS,
>    uPnP, and 802.1d transparent bridging
> o  PPPoE and PPPoA
> o  IPsec, L2TP, and PPTP VPN client functions
> o  stateful firewalling with claimed DoS/DDoS protection, some sort of IDS,
>    domain/URL and IP blocking, packet filtering, etc.
> o  SNMPv2, NTP
> o  Built-in administrative Web server
> 
> (Specs doesn't say anyting about it having WAP functionality.)
> 
> If it had been _just_ an ADSL router, it would have had none of those
                                ^^^^^^  modem (not router)
> other things built in.
