Hi,
I am using LINUX DD-WRT on a CISCO Linksys WRT160N have just started playing with the brctl command, which I am assuming stands for "Bridge Control", I have notices that it has arguments such as "show". This has prompted a few questions for me that I was hoping the knowledgeable people on the either could help me with:
a) Is this an emulation or partial emulation of what the CISCO corporate routers do? b) How do CISCO routers understand concepts such as NAT, do they use ipfilters or have they got there own special CISCO way of doing things. c) What OS do CISCO corporate routers come with, I know that VxWorks is very popular, but I would assume that CISCO have there own OS something like "CISCO 5", if so is this made by CISCO or is a UNIX derivative, c.1) if it is a UNIX derivative is it POSIX compliant and BSD based. c.2) Is it an interface to another OS, like OSX is interface to Darwin BSD UNIX
Thanks for your help in advance
