Re: [leaf-user] Upgrade to uClibc
Hello; I'm sorry, but to be safe you better start from scratch. The binaries are incompatible and beginning with Bering-uClibc 2.0 a lot of improvements and changes to various files in etc.lrp and other non-binaries has slipped in, so an easy update path cannot be provided. Even the modules.lrp is affected, because of new kernel version, which should be a reason on it's own to move on due to the security fixes. Be shure to read the Bering-uClibc Installtion Guide http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/buc-install.html and the Bering-uClibc Users Guide http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/buc-user.html To find the packages you need, have a look at: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpagemenu=91017page_id=51 hope that helps kp Am Freitag, 23.

I was hoping to bring in all my lrp's and modules and basically reboot. Is this possible or do I need to start from scratch? I did read something about packages needing to be recompiled but not sure if this applies to Bering packages. My main reason in doing this is to use the openvpn package. I understand the Bering package may have some issues. Any suggestions or shortcuts will be appreciated.

Re: [leaf-user] Re: BGP
This is not entirely correct. There is, in fact, an RFC1918 equivalent for AS routing numbers, for one. Of course, a private AS should only really be used if you're multihoming to two different gateways on the same provider network. Additionally, ARIN only requires that you have a unique routing policy that differs from that of your border gateway peers or that you are multi-homed, in the sense that you are connected to two or more upstream providers - one provider with two gateway locations can be handled, if necessary, by a Private AS. Most likely, the connection size limitation is enforced either by an LIR providing the number, or (possibly) the nation's laws, though that would be a stretch. RIPE itself only requires that you have your own, independently owned address space, that your routing policy is consistent and unique in comparison to your peers, that you can't use a private ASN, and that you are multi-homed. If you're having issues with bandwidth limitations preventing you from getting an AS, bypass the LIR and go straight to RIPE (or ARIN, in the States) for it. Oh, and from experience, Michelle, if you're setting that system up on BGP for redundancy purposes, make damned sure that if all the fibre is going to the same site that they do not pass through the same locations on their way to the upstream providers. It really stinks when your redundant connections all die at once because of a power loss at the central office.

Re: [leaf-user] BGP
Hi all I could not find any documentation about the relevan between BGP and the size of capacity contract. CMIIW that any one can request a /20 IP / AS-number allocation from the NIR as long as they can fulfill all the condition, and AFAIK the most important condition is about usage plan and multi-homed. Usualy ISP have huge IP allocation and they can (or have to ?) allocate /24 to their customer as long as the customer have ability to take responsible (technicaly and administrative) of this allocation. Basicaly AFAIK ... IANA never bundle the IP/AS-number allocation procedure to a pipe-size.

You'll never get any ISP to peer BGP with you for 2 T1 lines. Sorry. The best option for you if your requirement is NAT-centric is http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html. (See Julian's kernel patch at the end!). Alternatively if you need external site failover maybe buying an F5-3DNS (DNS failover) or cheap round-robin DNS will work for you. From what you said, I should be looking for a motherboard w/ dual gigabit interfaces. (either Intel e1000 or Broadcom bcm5700) NICs are important, but not at dual-T1 speed. It becomes important in 20mbit+. I think you'd be fine with eepro100's or bcm5700 (with tg3), or anything onboard on a decent server. If you have extra $ the Intel gigabits are great. Eepro's are the most popular NIC in servers so you can't go wrong there. We use Dell PE 2650's here with CF/IDE adapters, 4 extra ports from Intel cards, and dual power supplies. They are exponentially faster than what we used previously, Cisco 3640 series. They were also exponentially cheaper, though you might find a set of 3640's for sale on Ebay for $10k or so. That having been said you probably won't get fired for buying a Cisco but you might for your LEAF solution if it doesn't work right. Be sure to budget extra time from the start to get all the pieces talking right to each other. VRRP is... Virtual Redundancy Router Protocol? Is this an alternative to BGP, or is it something that complements it? Compliments. It's like HSRP for Cisco. Actually VRRP is the protocol that HSRP is built on. http://www.keepalived.org Cheers, P --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Robotic Monkeys at ThinkGeek For a limited time only, get FREE Ground shipping on all orders of $35 or more.
