There are a few bits you may want to configure in preparation for this building a image, you will likely want to boot your hardware with FreeBSD and figure out:
- Netowork interface naming format e.g. re0,en0 etc
- Disk naming format for both your main OS disk and storage disk e.g ada0,da0 etc
Network Interfaces
Network interfaces are configured in overlay/etc/rc.conf.d/network, it is assumed that 1 interface is a DCHP client for the IDS management and the rest are collection interfaces for Suricata; modify this as required. The default example is below
ifconfig_re0="DHCP" # IDS management
ifconfig_re1="up" # Collection
ifconfig_re2="up" # Not used but preped for collection or Netmap Bridge mode
Disks
NanaBSD needs the disk name defined in it configure file, in our case nanoIDS.conf, this is defined under a NANO variable:
NANO_DRIVE="da0" # da0,ada0,mmc0 etc
In preparation for the storage disk installation it is worth modifying the cust_system_configuration function in the nanoIDS.conf file too:
# ADD FSTAB CONFIG
echo "#/dev/ada0p1 /data ufs rw 2 2" >> ${FSTAB_CONF}
This isn’t required as you can modify the /etc/fstab after boot and save it persistantly using NanaBSD’s save_cfg script
