Question #408:
  • Please provide a list of network protocols suppored by the GUARD?
  • For my application I must use network protocol XYZ. Does the GUARD support protocol XYZ?
Answer:
  • The GUARD software is based on OpenWRT. The list of supported protocols is therefore (more or less) the same as the one of OpenWRT.
  • IIf OpenWRT has support for protocol XYZ, the odds are good that your desired protocol will as be available* on the GUARD.

* Depending on the precise requirements, some additional effort and/or manual configuration may be needed.

Question #378: Do you provide Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) functionality for the GUARD?
Answer: No.

Question #375: What operating system is installed on the GUARD?
Answer: All Guards come with OpenWRT preinstalled. This is a Linux based distribution specialized for firewall and routing tasks. You can find out more about OpenWrt at https://www.openwrt.org/.

Question #376: Is it possible to use some other OS than OpenWrt?
Answer: Certainly. But at the moment, only a Linux kernel is available from MPL AG, so only Linux based ARM operating systems (like, for example, debian) are supported. Please contact MPL support if you need assistance.
