AMPRNet-config
by Willie Hein WJ3G 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Greetings, I'm again planning the setup of a gateway here at the Balogna Capitol, much to the wonderment of a few. Prelim's are done, ie: static ip, registering in the portal, etc. Now I'm back to a place I've been before, automating the startup, and configuration. Something I'm surprised we haven't overcome with a gui by now, and unfortunately way above my pay scale.:) I did have this working before, so I'm hoping with little changes I'll have the init.d scripts and all updated. I'll certainly make them available, maybe on the wiki when I'm done. I realize that it will take changes to make them work on other distros. Maybe it's time to see what the commonalities are, in hopes of developing a standard config tool. I'd certainly like to take this off list till there is something worth showing. Anyone interested? Best regards, Willie, WJ3G

Someone with a Microtik is evidently broadcasting on the AMPRnet tunnels. Dest address 255.255.255.255 Source address 0.0.0.0 UDP port 5678 Please stop! Michael

I'd like a copy too. Is there anyway we have have a centralized place for stuff like this? I have to admit that wiki's aren't really for me. Editing them I find painful. And there are a number of scripts and software packages that I have been trying to archive. -- And a couple messages ago the question was asked "Has anyone tried to use transverters from 2.4GHz to 432 Mhz?" Does such a transverter exist? A $40 Ubiquiti 2 GHz bullet coupled with a few watt (2.4 Ghz to 432 MHz) transverter might work better than a $170 mini PCI radio card combined with a $85 router board and all that. http://www.xagyl.com/store_us/product.php?productid=31 There are some impressive 802.11 networks being built by European amateurs. There also seems to be quite a lot of talent with microwave design over there.

rip44d
by Rob Janssen 31 Aug '13

Hi Hessu, I am trying to get rip44d working on my Raspberry Pi. For some reason, I cannot get it to receive the 44.0.0.1 -> 224.0.0.9 transmissions. The socket is listening on port 520, when I trace tunl0 I see the packets arriving every 5 minutes, but the rip44d (running with -v) remains absolutely silent. Any idea what that can be? I saw that there is a 2nd set of transmissions, from 169.228.66.251 to my internet address, oddly from port 520 to port 34348. With some small changes to rip44d, to change the source address check and the port number, and to remove the multicast handling, it receives those packets perfectly and the routes are added. Do you have any idea what this can be? The Pi is running Linux 3.6.11+ (raspbian wheezy), and I installed the perl modules just as you explain on the wiki. Of course I could make my changes conditional and add a flag to listen to this alternate transmission, but I don't know about the status (maybe they will stop sometime?). It could be better to fix the problem, if I knew how... 73, Rob PE1CHL

I have not further researched the matter, as I have solved it by using ampr-ripd and not using multicast. I think there is something missing or not configured that is related to multicast. The kernel config is: CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y # CONFIG_IP_MROUTE is not set Multicast routing is not enabled. On my home PC (SuSE Linux), it is enabled. Maybe this is a requirement even for the reception of multicast datagrams. Rob

Anyone tried to use transverters from 2.4GHz to 432 Mhz?
by YT9TP Pedja 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

I noticed that there are some ham projects of developing transverters from 2.4 GHz to lower ham radio bands. I wonder if anyone tried something like this to convert WiFi devices to 70 cm band? Could that work? Pedja YT9TP

The tunnel interface is a gateway to the rest of the class A network. You have to allow this by setting a netmask of netmask 255.0.0.0 An your second ethernet interface to your radio LAN, you may set a smaller netmask. Steve

Re: [44net] Multiple gateways for same route
by Michael E Fox - N6MEF 27 Aug '13

Eric, Today, the list of tunnels, whether distributed by the encaps file or via RIP, are really just a list of whatever is configured in the portal. Even though they may be distributed by RIP, RIP is being used merely as a distribution mechanism. The existence of an entry in the list tells you nothing about whether that tunnel is actually up or not -- only that it has been configured in the portal. So, even if there were multiple RIP speakers, you'd get the same info except for the main gateway/default route. What I think you're describing is more like a route reflector such as are used in Internet BGP networks. The clients would identify themselves to the main gateway, and the main gateway would reflect that info back to all other clients. That would provide the dynamic routing that would be helpful. And, if the clients could announce additional routes to the server, we could have dynamic alternate routes. Couple that with regional reflectors and the option to listen to more than one reflector so you can get dynamic default route, and I think we've got something. The code for BGP route reflectors is public domain, so I wonder if it makes sense to adapt it to RIP.

We do have dynamic routing available to us though via RIP. Would RIP or another routing protocol not handle this in the case of the route being unreliable and drop that route? Why must routes be persistent rather than dynamic? In a larger sense and I realize we're not there yet it would seem that rather than having to know the routes to all other 44net hosts from boot it would be much easier to have each area (for instance each /16 or maybe in some cases each /24) to have a designated router (say at .1) or possibly use multicast to discover one's local router. thus the initial config is simplified as it has a single route to the 44net gateway for it's area from which it may discover via dynamic routing other routes. no more need to manually distribute and update a routing table. This seems to be something to work towards.

This has been discussed many times here. Maybe you need to have a look at the archive. There are many existing solutions for this problem, of course. They all have their advantages and disadvantages, when seen from an amateur viewpoint. However you need to understand that the sending system has no information about "the route being unreliable" and the receiving system has no way of making the sending system try other routings. That is why a working automatic routing protocol is always much more complex than RIP (which works like the method used by NET/ROM) There is little point in rehashing time after time how much better everything could be, when there is not going to be a change anyway.

Multiple gateways for same route
by Marc, LX1DUC 27 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, while analyzing the routing table on my Mikrotik router, I noticed that there are 2 gateways for 44.136.0.0/21: 114.198.116.219 203.5.58.162 The encap file has both as well: route addprivate 44.136/21 encap 203.5.58.162 route addprivate 44.136/21 encap 114.198.116.219 I have tried to create 2 routes for some of my networks via the portal, but the portal complains with the words "The network overlaps an existing entry". I'm now interested to know, if these 2 routes are intended to co-exist? If yes, how can one create those entries via the portal. If no, which one is correct and why are there 2 entries? 73 de Marc, LX1DUC - -- http://lx1duc.mcs.tel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSDJ/oAAoJEHFIN1T8ZA8v8EoP/0HHZn+S4SB0EiqJKjZR8gJG GL7imNQ0sTZUBE6QMQzXs5+Dr6D++jEYyO36AlqgR0Z2SABs/HFhbuHYV+9Bvb+n m01m8eKDFJam3uqXGQjsvV5gH/nC8nVJ0hgdsMolatu8B8WBUR02QQDkgq2u11pP GLwffzANg4/FPLLShYZKk2IL6unh0GFqvW2bePQUZ+8OQv2X1UyDR2jWg4gi7sOO 6imU3CVfKfc53SfPox2De7nLGxsKZsk2O/RCxHEom0MKYCdWtNmoszOTDpxNmkPd cVJfEZ7zOIBHW+ZYFtsCy1GfoanDlel0jOMm5zNe4WkxeCjPtvD/46vxpPOAh2xk 84lDA3oWY2LYKny6c6YD7zFEcHcX84gR+6gdFFvuaiKU99RizFK0XORJxdVqU4tT TSBCCt+oW6sPCAJe2vuorA9TyqLMwc6RDg98ZdoEEAYQJke7/CgTBkP+A6EY/U15 HCWk6cXIvHsu2j33K4HoqoaJa74yZMctTnumMu+E4x2Kw+OtCFJfsNt3dTAqeWkr uuKpeqnjWqPAnT6l3uQOTknwfara79Cw9zWfaG2nnRS8gcIki+Voe+gWAOdiObbF m0dcmsCBqcyFaRtBHyR0N4BuQC/o5H6rQBgzNFDW54EKraRPLokuM9fW6PF1YJ1l +TItkIm+J2u9xwlSJbXq =invI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
