I’ve never used Vyatta before, so I quickly went through those basic guides and did some googling.

After a day of experimenting, I finally managed to get it up and running. I even compiled ISC DHCP server 4.1 (which supports DHCPv6 relay) after installing tons of packages from Debian’s repositories.

When I had everything working, I decided to restart my Vyatta to see if it will still work. And that’s when I fell back into good old “I hate Linux!” mood. There was no configuration! It was like booting into my system after doing a fresh install.

I opened my dear friend – google.com straight away and what do I see? Commit doesn’t pernamently save your configuration and you have to use command “save” to make your changes pernament. :evil:

Well, I guess I’ll read Quick Start guides more carefully next time to prevent thing like this from happening.

Oh, and I almost forgot…

Happy new year!
