check these papers for what we did in the Pok test lab: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/linux_ha_ospf.pdf http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/systems_services_platformtest_z_ospfscaling.pdf http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/ZSW03221-USEN-00.pdf
The first shows our initial OSPF setup to prove that it worked and formed adjacencies with z/OS over hipersockets and external Cisco routers. The second shows how we cloned that setup to 60 guests to see if we could measure the CPU utilization impact of all the OSPF link state monitoring activity, as well as route reconvergance when link states change. The last shows some scripting we wrote to see if we could use OSPF to automagically make use of hipersockets to talk to peer lpars and OSA to talk to the other systems even while using z/VM 6.2's SSI Live Guest Relocation capability to move guests around to different processors. More directly related to your question - we never really used the telnet command interface to interact with zebra or ospfd, we edited the config files in /etc/quagga and restarted the daemons. There's lots of examples in the papers. -- Jay Brenneman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
