Why use an ampr.org address for an ethernet port?  You need to have
a consistent subnet going there on your LAN... use 192.168.0.x addresses
for every ethernet port on every machine.  If PC2 has no radio ports
then its 44.x address is purely virtual... probably is going to involve
BPQ or something no?  and that interface would probably have its own
44.x address even though the actual IP connection to the other machine
occurs on 192.168.0.x.

You should also consider ditching TNOS to simplify your life.  The 
kernel AX.25 stuff is working quite well these days.  I use 2.2.14, so 
I can help if you run into any problems trying to do it with a modern
kernel.

Not wishing to be rude but why 2 pc's, not to mention "why" tnos as a
nessasary front end for the internet.

I can ping via ampr.org 44.16.2.46 but no iother address of yours.

You have not included any configuration files or any error messages so
really trying to give any more help would be more missleading than
"guessing".

Possably publishing your config files migt help us help you, or if you dont
want to publish them openly you could send then to me in a personal, i will
then try and help in confidance.

Hi Paul,
   your PC2 probably expects to find it's subnet routing partner on the eth0
interface.   Your TNOS (default router in this case) is hidden from the eth0
interface.  I use proxy arp here for just that situation.  I forget the
actual arp command at the moment, but do an arp for both your pc1 linux and
your tnos, using the eth0 hardware address for both linux and tnos.  Be sure
you have proper routing in place, and it should find your tnos.
... ok, found my arp commands (using 2.0.36/libc so your command might
be a little different with the RH 6.1).  Here's mine from rc.local:

  /sbin/arp -s 44.46.97.3 00:40:95:E1:14:78 pub  #linux
  /sbin/arp -s 44.46.97.1 00:40:95:E1:14:78 pub  #jnos

Can't set default route

Hello All,

I have two PC's networked, both machines can ping each other, but I cannot
get a working default route set on PC2.

PC1: TNOS 44.16.2.46
 LINUX 44.16.2.48
 ETH0 192.168.0.1

PC2: ETH0 44.16.2.58

I am running RH 6.2 on PC2. The TNOS address above is my link to the
Internet. So I need PC2 to have TNOS as the default gateway. I have set
the default route in PC2 (network config) but it does not work. I have
also tried using the 44.16.2.48 address as the default but no joy.
However, using 44.16.2.48 as the DNS works fine.

You can not lock a node in Linux. What you can do is lock a route (a
neighbour). If you lock the quality of that particular neighbour (sk7hw on
port1) to a low value, the node routes it advertises won't be used except
as a last resort. Locking a route is of course done with "nrparms -route".

However if there are also no other "good" neighbours on your port1
frequency it might be a better idea to lower the default quality for that
port in /etc/ax25/nrbroadcast. The effect will be the same but it will by
default affect all neighbours on that port.

I don't actually use a 2.2.x kernel for AX.25 but as nobody else seems

I too am suffering the same. There have been several suggestions,
mainly around the arp_ entries in the /proc/sys/net/ipv4 directory. Sadly
on my 2.2.10 (SuSE) with libax25 (0.0.7), tools (0.0.5) and apps
(0.0.4), there are no arp entries anywhere under /proc (besides a copy
of the arp table itself). My older kernels (2.0.35) did have these entries
and they worked fine. I've checked the older SuSE 6.1 with 2.2.5 and
they're not there either.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to if it's something I've done or
are they not there in 2.2 even though the linux/net/Documentation says
they should be.

I've tried echoing values to create the entries, but no joy

Any ideas?

Yes, there is.

Take a look of that, for 1200 bauds:
The meaning of /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ is explained (but no very well) in
Linux kernel source documentation (wich comes with Linux kernel sources)

# Parametros arp

The routing above is very confusing, w6yx.ampr.org = 44.4.0.196 so he is a
"host" not a "net"

route add 44.4.0.196 window 128 irtt 2000 dev sm0
would be more applicable i think. (See comment on wondowsize below)

You attach a route for 44.0.0.0 via sm0 as the first route, however after
adding the bogus route to 44.4.0.196 you add a default route for 44.0.0.0
again but now via 44.4.0.196 who at firstsight is a "net".

I would do the following.

ifconfig sm0 down  # clears routing.
ifconfig sm0 up# should use the old configured address etc.
ifconfig sm0 braodcast 44.255.255.255
route add 44.4.0.196 window 128 irtt 2000 dev sm0
route add -net 44.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 44.4.0.196 sm0

On another note you define a MTU of 512 which carries 472 bytes of data,
you then configure a window size of 128 which is incompatable, a beter size
would be 944 which is 2 packts every transmission.

If you are worried about transmitting and receiving Too large packets, then
lower the MTU to 256 and set the window size to 216 thats one packet.

Now i hope i got my sums right.

Watch out for that character - most shells treat that as indicating

following from the line before handing it over to the program...

I am awfully sorry , as this was one of my terrible typos. The

It is only the example from the HOWTO. Hoping to be more clearly 
I'll try to explain it some other way:

We have the Linux box with FBB, let's say with the callsign 
LI0BBS. Forwarding is done via NET/ROM via a neighbouring node 
(no other nodes between it) to another BBS, let's say DO0BBS.

Here's a little drawing of that all:

++ +--+
|   LI0BBS| NET/ROM Link |NO0NOD| 
++ |(NET/ROM node)| 
  +--+---+
|
NET/ROM Link
|
   +--+
   | DO0BBS   |
   |(Forward  |
   | partner) |
   +--+

All we want is that the route to DO0BBS via NO0NOD is already 
set after booting our Linux Box. Because we don't want to set the 
broadcasts to be sent a dozen times every minute waiting for a 
node broadcast to be received is not acceptable for us. Instead, 
node broadcasts are turned off to avoid wasting bandwidth here. so 
it is _necessary_ to have the routes available without having to wait 
for _any_ broadcast!

That's a really good idea. We will go ahead with nodesave,

A good thing to know. But as mentioned before, broadcasts are 
disabled here, so we have to find a good workaround.

Whose call is that VK2XLZ-10? Yours? Or is it a neighbouring node? Or a
distant node?

I'm a bit lost as to what you are trying to do. For a basic setup you
should only need to start netromd and let it do it's work - broadcasting
your routes and collecting routing info from broadcasts from other nodes.

Later you can use nodesave to save your routing congiguration, edit it to
contain only the most important ones and then use that script at boot to
quickly restore them. Or like on our BBS where I dump the routes with
"nodesave" to a file every half hours from cron so in case the system
crashes or needs to be shut down, I always have a fresh copy to load at
boot.

Well one thing is that if you don't use "-i" option for netromd, it won't
start sending node broadcasts until after some time (interval time,
default 60mins).

Well that's the only correct way!

Problem with NET/ROM route settings

1999-02-15 Thread Gerd

Hello, 


after a little break, I am back again to this list.
We finally managed to get Linux (Kernel 2.0.36) and xfbbd up and 
running. Besides a small problem with xfbbd (seems there is 
trouble in its communcation with the kernel sockets, sometimes) 
that I put an inquiry for solution for in the xfbb mailing list, 
NET/ROM gives us some headaches.

When we boot up our Linux Box, we set the NET/ROM routes that 
are necessary to have up for us, eg. for FBB forwarding, using the 
nrparms command as described in the AX.25-HOWTO. 
Unfortunately, the NET/ROM part of the kernel seems to have 
difficulties to recognize these routes.

An example:

nrparms -nodes  radio

should set up the NET/ROM subsystem in a way that a 

cat /proc/net/nr_nodes

shows an entry with VK2XLZ-10 in it. But sometimes, this entry is 
missing, allthough the nrparms command seemed to be processed 
without an error. 
We actually have the NET/ROM routes setup in our Packet Radio 
initialization script that runs at boot time, after setting and 
initializing the NET/ROM ports and loading netromd, of course. In 
most cases the correct route entries are achieved if we enter the 
nrparms commands manually after a console login.
Does it take the NET/ROM subsystem a longer time to initialize 
than we expect? If not, what other reason is possible for this 
behaviour of NET/ROM?
The background for asking you this is that we want to have this box 
running without any user  or root intervention to be necessary for 
running the AX.25 services.

Thank you for any hint in advance!

Best regards, 73

Gerd

maybe the command line should be:

route add -net 44.163.64.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 206.48.104.7 tunl0

Put the destination after gw, then the interface:

route add -net 44.163.64.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 206.48.104.7 tunl0

Axip doesn't route right....

1998-12-13 Thread Curtis D. Levin


where does the ax25ipd get info from to route ax25
calls to it ? It only works with the default route
right now. The problem is that I have two gates to
route from here, but it only wants one at a time.
I know there's a simple fix, but I must be missing 
it here. 

This is from the ax25ipd.conf file....

route W4BKX-5 44.98.2.5 bd
#route KD4ZKW-1 44.98.2.22 b
route AE4EJ-1 44.98.2.28 b

Right now w4bkx works fine, but ae4ej doesn't. If I move the
d flag to ae4ej, then it's the other way around. Any ideas ?
