Re: [Vyatta-users] Vyatta Router Test Unsucessful last night

2007-12-26 Thread Ken Price


 I attempted the throw from Cisco to Vyatta last night, and failed.

 Could it be possible that they would need to clear arp cache or
 something similar? I am really stumped on this one. I even set an
 address on my laptop in the same subnet of the Vyatta up side, and it
 talked to my laptop.

While I've only seen this issue with crappy upstream providers, it  
*is* possible that they need to clear their arp cache.  I have two  
firewall/routers using VRRP.  When I fail over to the secondary, it  
takes about 15 minutes for my upstream provider to notice despite  
sending gratuitous ARP broadcasts telling them something has changed.

I'm not sure how long of an outage you can afford, but one possible  
line of troubleshooting is waiting to see how long it takes for your  
Vyatta box to be noticed.  Not sure if your upstream provider is like  
mine, but I got nowhere with their NOC.  Course that's my fault for  
colocating with a provider who specializes in broadband/dialup, not  
colo.

The other poster had a good idea too.  Go ahead and set your Vyatta  
MAC to that of your Cisco box.  This [should] ease the transition.

Regards,
Ken

I attempted the throw from Cisco to Vyatta last night, and failed.

From what I can see, the Vyatta configuration is comparable to the
Cisco's configuration with the exception of the subnets on the interface
being class C since Vyatta cannot create routes directed toward an
interface through the CLI.

The problem:

I could not ping my ISP's router (Vyatta's default route). I am pretty
sure they are running Cisco equipment. Everything on our side worked
fine (routes, etc).

Could it be possible that they would need to clear arp cache or
something similar? I am really stumped on this one. I even set an
address on my laptop in the same subnet of the Vyatta up side, and it
talked to my laptop.

If anyone has seen a similar senario and has any tips please let me
know, OR if you would like to see the cisco config and the Vyatta config
to take a look, I am willing to provide.

Thanks,

What kind of circuit is it?  Do you need to clone your old MAC address?
 Short of that it would help to be able to see the config.
