semi-long distance links

2002-08-27 Thread Carlos Barros
Hello!

To make a network between 2 sites in a MAN or WAN the posibilities
would be:
- cabling (leased lines, fiber optic)
- air waves (microwaves, ax25, packet...)
- any provider providing the link via cabling or airwaves or
satelite

Wavelan/Orinoco cards can make a link about 15km. 

Which tecnologies are available to make a link of ~200 kilometers
with speed at least 64kbps? 

Where can I find more info about this class of networks?
Im looking for the tecnology not to get the service.

1- your firewall have 2 interfaces in the same subnet.
2- so your firewall dont know where the hosts are.

Possible solutions:
first one
on the cisco: change the ethernet ip to a private one 192.168.1.1
  and make a static route to your Class C network throught your
  firewall eth0 IP (192.168.1.2)
on the firewall: eth0 192.168.1.2
 eth1 194.226.7.1; 10.128.114.2.1;
 route add default gw 192.168.1.1
 the rest of masquerading for 10.128
 your firewall rules...

On all your hosts: route add default gw 194.226.7.1 
   or route add default gw 10.128.114.2.1
   where corresponds.

Second one:
Specially if you can not change the cisco.
on the firewall: in this order do
eth1 = 194.226.7.9
eth0 = 194.226.7.9 
# eth0 and eth1 have the same IP 194.226.7.9
rotue add -host 194.226.7.1 dev eth0
# do the same for all hosts that are connected to eth0
# and the trick is:
for i in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp
do
  echo 1  $i
done
add 10.128.114.2.1 IP to eth1
do the masquerading for 10.128... net
add firewall rules.

on all hosts:
 route add default gw 194.226.7.1
 or route add default gw 10.128.114.2.1

 thanks for the input.

tar without  compression. Very standart and very fast to recover from a HD.

Other software has issues, like you may need 1 week to recover the loss of

 what about open files (is this an issue?).  also is there a standard way to restore 
(or do you just use a rescue disk and untar?)
 

open files is no more issue with tar than with other softs.

The use of a rescue disk with tar is what I think the strongest point of it.
(also cpio is another good tool to use)
With a single o 2 floppies you can restore a full crash inmediatly.
If you do incremental backups, the time to restore that, is much more than
full backups.

Full backups every week, left you to loose one week of work at most.
Doing incremental backups left you with a much more work to restore. Recover
from the first tape, switch to next, update, next, update and also if
you have only backups of the data, you must first install and configure
again everything.

I use 4 monthly backups + 3 weekly backups.
No incremental backups.

Also this is not a bank, where the information cost much more that a
raid/fault tolerant system... The data has a price, evaluate how much cost
to you.

fore runner

2001-11-20 Thread Carlos Barros

Hello!

Does anyone know the ForeRunner ES-3810 switch?

I have a null modem cable(using only 3 cables) that I can use to
connect to the console of a 3com switch but fore-runners. (using minicom)
Is there something  that i can play with?

Things that I checked are:
- 9600 8N1
- powered down and up and no message appears
- enter does nothing.

Sorry for the off topic, but couldnt find any help elsewere.

Could you make them recognize more that 4 MAC per port ?

Is there an easy(nice and gui) SNMP client (in debian)?

I upgrade the tools to run kernel2.4.9 and the problem is that pppd

With kernel 2.2.19 pppd 2.3.11 works right. Is there any change that
I have to do to the conf files? Is there a known problem?

Seems to be what Im looking for.

Thanks. I already know that relaying is not good. But Im trying to close the
relaying as much as I can. That's why I only want to permit relaying from
some hosts only if they claim to be from fcien.edu.uy domain (just by now).

LDAP on debian

2000-05-16 Thread Carlos Barros

Well, I don't know where to start. Well...

There's someone who want to learn LDAP (ME :)

Debian is using LDAP to authenticate users but I couldnt realize how it's
done. 

The LDAP-guide is not well documented and I don't understand it very well...

The first problem is to setup an LDAP server. How to use it, how to
configure it. Then how to configure a host to use LDAP as the server to
authenticate. I know there's pam-ldap and nss-ldap. But how d.org do that?

I need the guidelines, for example, there's a lot of files in /etc/openldap/ 
which are in the ldif format?

How does slapd run? I mean which files in the configuration dir uses?
How to configure a database for the authentication purposes?
How to add/remove entries in the database?
When the configuration file change, how to update the running slapd server?
Does LDAP has accounting? (like /var/log/wtmp?)

I read a lot of the ldap-guide. Classes, persons attributes, but couldn't
find a way to join each other with the authentication. I mean the
interaction of the diferent parts do setup an LDAP-authenticated based network.

Is there any HOWTO's
Is there any text explaining how does it work? I mean The guide explain how
to get, untar, configure, compile, install, run, change things, what it is,
netscape...

But nothing as to how the database must be for authentication purposes.

A routing, source routing and masquerading with 3 networks

2000-03-28 Thread Carlos Barros
Hello!

I need to masquerade a network only if the destination is some network and
the source is one of the net

In Debian frozen (to be released as potato) the configuration is this

/etc/network/interfaces
---
iface eth0 inet static
address a.b.c.d
network a.b.c.128
netmask 255.255.255.252
gateway a.b.c.129

iface eth1 inet static
 address net1a.net1b.net1c.129
 network net1a.net1b.net1c.128
 netmask 255.255.255.128

iface eth1:0 inet static
 address net2a.net2b.net2c.3
 network net2a.net2b.net2c.0
 netmask 255.255.255.128
 up ip route add net1a.net1b.net1c.128/25 dev eth1 table 2
 #default gateway for net2
 up ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 via net2a.net2b.net2c.1 table 2
 # now the rule to make net2 use routing table 2.
 up ip rule add from net2a.net2b.net2c.0/25 lookup 2
--

The net2 has a special condition that all packets that goes to a net3/24
must be masqueraded as if it goes from eth0 instead of going via
net2a.net2b.net2c.1(eth1:0)

The problem is that 
 ipchains -A forward -j MASQ  -s net2a.net2b.net2c/25 -d net3/24

does not do nothing. All packets are routed as the table says, so it does
not masquerade.

Kernel: 2.2.14

Can you giveme a clue how to solve that?
