Re: [44net] RIP broadcast based AMPR gateway script for Mikrotik routers

The /8 is needed to get the RIP announcements which need to have both endpoints in the same network to receive multicast RIP. You just need to have some unused 44.56.53.x/8 on the ucsd-gw. It does not matter what it is. Since that one will land on the vrf, it will not bother you and will not interfere with your regular routes.. My setup: Router public IP: 89.122.215.236 via PPPoE Router ampr IP: 44.182.21.254 /ip route vrf add interfaces=ucsd-gw routing-mark=44net /ip address add address=44.182.21.254/8 interface=ucsd-gw network=44.0.0.0 /ip address add address=44.182.21.254/24 interface=bridge-ampr network=44.182.21.0 <-- this is my local LAN /routing prefix-lists add action=discard chain=ampr prefix=44.0.0.1/32 add chain=ampr prefix=44.0.0.0/8 add action=discard chain=ampr add action=discard chain=none add chain=all /routing rip set garbage-timer=20m routing-table=44net timeout-timer=10m update-timer=5m /routing rip interface add authentication=simple authentication-key=<rip_password> in-prefix-list=ampr interface=ucsd-gw out-prefix-list=none passive=yes receive=v2 /routing rip network add network=44.0.0.0/8 This gives me RIP routes in passive mode, as needed by the script.

My local Public is 24.115.112.147 My AMPRnet allocation is 44.56.53.1/28 I've defined 44.56.53.1/28 on physical ether 3 I was a little confused about the /8 on the ip address below seeing your defining the full /8 for AMPR net? Having a real world commented example in the script would help. many thanks 73 leon ==================== /interface ipip add !keepalive clamp-tcp-mss=yes local-address=24.115.112.147 \ remote-address=169.228.66.251 name=ucsd-gw /ip address add address=44.56.53.1/8 interface=ucsd-gw network=44.0.0.0 # To be able to receive RIPv2 broadcasts into a specific table, first create a VRF: /ip route vrf add interfaces=ucsd-gw routing-mark=44rip # and activate passive RIP for that routing table: /routing rip set garbage-timer=20m routing-table=44rip timeout-timer=10m update-timer=5m /routing rip interface add authentication=simple authentication-key=ThePAssword \ in-prefix-list=all interface=ucsd-gw out-prefix-list= none passive=yes receive=v2 /routing rip network add network=44.0.0.0/8 _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
