Yeah, that makes sense. I _wish_ I had a T1 or T3 ... I'd be broke in no time and I'd never use the 24/7 bandwidth! I've got a Cisco routing/switching class this semester, so I should be able to apply most of the knowledge from that class to Vyatta and take off! You guys haven't figured out how t

Every time my vyatta router boots up, it takes time. I noticed that when it reached to the point that says; Starting Vyatta router: the cursor sits there and just blinks for 5 minutes before I get the vyatta login prompt. Here's the message that I get. Starting Vyatta router:FAT: unable to re

No big deal - text can be quite misleading (it omits emotion + mood). All is well. I phrased my statements rather strongly - it simply confused me so much one day that I actually spent a fair amount of time trouble shooting my DHCP server b/c --I thought I did something wrong--! That's the only

There has been a lot of discussion on this list over the last few months. The community is definitely growing and we're happy to see people helping people use the software. With more use comes more feature requests and bug reports. This is generally a good thing, but it can be frustrating. A fe

I'll add another point that might be obvious. Performance and memory requirements will depend on your host operating system - I'm hoping that it's Linux and not Windows. Be sure to add enough RAM for the host OS and all virtual machines. John Gong Dave Roberts wrote: >> We have Asus Terminat

[Vyatta-users] Vyatta BGP Configuration question

2008-01-14 Thread Ken Felix (C)
1st question why do you have a static route pointing to your local ip_address as the next hop? Vyatta should learn this as a connected route, no other static entry would be needed. 2nd you do realize if this config is right, that your /30 BGP speaker addresses are "within" the /27 network

Re: [Vyatta-users] DHCP pool questions

2008-01-14 Thread Dave Roberts
Exactly. Why should anybody care? This is DHCP we're talking about. As long as a node receives a currently unused address from the pool, you're up and done. If you want to control the assignment of nodes to addresses, well, that's what static addressing is for. I do think it's a bit odd that the

2008-01-14 Thread Robyn Orosz
Hi Shane, Try configuring a host address on the loopback interface and then creating a static route for your /24 with a next-hop of your loopback address. Then you would export static with a 'from network4 ' statement. If you do this, you should also remove the term that is exporting connect

I have been reading through the documentation. I am not seeing anything that lets me modify what the BGP is exporting versus what is in the routing table. Perhaps this is not possible with Vyatta? Thanks, Shane McKinley Habersham EMC From: Shane McKinley [mai

Look at it this way: a dhcp server giving out addresses in a private class b with short lease times (an isp, say), using the hash table will result in MUCH higher performance than a flat, sorted list of available addresses It's a scalability thing. Aubrey Wells wrote: > Hmm i meant to avoid th

Hmm i meant to avoid the use of the word "random" in my post as its a bad word to use in this context. Its not "random" per se, its just non- deterministic. What that basically means is, you can't really predict with 100% certainty what ip will be handed out next. There is a pre- determined o

:) [Yes, that was nitpicking - utterly stupid ... if I want a host table I need to just SSH into my Vyatta box and grab the table output!]. Due to the random nature, then I will a) scan my network or b) statically assign addresses to maintain an idea of where hosts are. I guess I'm just being a big
