Re: [44net] AMPR + VyOS

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Hello Miguel et al. Made some tests with AMPR+VyOS. My test hardware/software configuration: - TL-MR3420v2 router (providing access to Internet) - VirtualBox host machine running on desktop PC (Please note: desktop PC is in DMZ, behind the router) - VyOS-1.1.7 32bit as a guest OS running in VirtualBox Installing and basic configuration of VyOS is described here: http://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/User_Guide After reboot VyOS will be ready to communicate with Internet. Let's skip chapter "Using the Command-Line Interface", and proceed our own way, assuming that the goal is to configure VyOS capable of bidirectional communication with global 44net system. Next important steps are described here: http://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/FAQ#For_1.0.x.2F1.1.x chapters "How do I install Debian packages?" and "For 1.0.x/1.1.x" For unknown(?) reason sequence of "set" commands should be reversed: vyos@vyos:~$ configure [edit] vyos@vyos# set system package repository squeeze url 'http://archive.debian.org/debian' set system package repository squeeze distribution 'squeeze' set system package repositorysqueeze components 'main contrib non-free' _DO NOT_, I repeat, _Do NOT_ set 'squeeze-lts' repository as it does not exists any more... Then: vyos@vyos# commit && save;exit vyos@vyos:~$ Next, run following commands: vyos@vyos:~$ sudo apt-get -f install vyos@vyos:~$ sudo apt-get check vyos@vyos:~$ sudo apt-get update vyos@vyos:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade From that point it is possible to installmany packages from Debian "squeeze" distribution. As in VyOS there is _NO_ any file manager to make life a bit easier, let's install MC: vyos@vyos:~$ sudo apt-get install mc Now, it's time to configure access to 44-net. We may use "ax25" script created by N1URO adapting it accordingly or make short script "ax25.sh" containing: #!/bin/sh # PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:sbin # modprobe -a ipip ifconfig tunl0 <ampr-IP> netmask 255.255.255.255 mtu 1472 multicast arp up ip route add 44/8 via <VyOS_LAN_IP> dev tunl0 proto static onlink ip tunnel change ttl 64 mode ipip tunl0 ip rule add from 44/8 pref 1 table 1 ip rule add to 44/8 pref 1 table 1 /usr/local/bin/ampr=ripd -t 1 -a <public_IP> -p <rip44_password> -i tunl0 -v -s # echo "10" > /proc/sys/kernel/panic echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/log_martians # On freshly installed VyOS system compilation is _NOT POSSIBLE_ therefore we need to obtain binary file ampr-ripd compiled elsewhere and download package ampr-ripd from http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-ripd-1.15.tgz to have "manual" and two other scripts. Next. let's put ampr-ripd binary file in /usr/local/bin/ Fire-up ax25.sh script and wait till nearest rip44 broadcast taking place every 5 minutes. Wait a while after broadcast and check routing table by issuing command: ip route show table 1 Table should be filled-up by many, many entries that are saved in /var/lib/ampr-ripd/encap-txt If <rip44_password> is not known yet, use script find-pass.sh provided with ampr-ripd package (change interface name ampr0 to tunl0 or to reflect your system!). That's all... Nevertheless, YMMV... From now on, enjoy being part of AMPRNet network! Happy New 2017 Year! Best regards.
