nsh: Network Shell on top of OpenBSD made for network administrators - Tom Smyth - EuroBSDcon 2022
Channel: EuroBSDcon
Date: 2022-10-27

nsh is a tool that allows a network administrator harness the power of OpenBSD and the tools that are present in the OpenBSD base operating system.

nsh is an an alternative or supplement:
ifconfig(8)
sysctl(8)
route(8)
and encapsulates configuration for other daemons into one place, with
its own command language similar to the configuration language used by
many network appliance vendors.

Effectively nsh + OpenBSD can allow an un-inducted network administrator
harness the true power of OpenBSD for just about any network role or tasks.
from meat and potatoes routing to a layer7 TLS terminating, load balancing
and stateful firewall failover appliance.

In this presentation the speakers will demo nsh and how it integrates
with a base OpenBSD install.

The speakers will discuss the current nsh design and features, and what lies
in the future for nsh.
