Re: [44net] Using Cisco Router as a gateway ?

Going with Linux is definitely easier day to day, but I still use a Cisco router. I am using a slightly modified script from KY9J that works well. I start out with a saved base config on my router, then apply the config generated by the script provided by KY9J. I don’t save the config after that as it is too cumbersome to remove all the config before applying a new config. The website for the script is http://www.ky9j.com/tools/ and the file is encapconvert.pl Thanks Jesse - WC3XS On 12/27/15, 3:10 PM, "44Net on behalf of Rob Janssen" <44net-bounces+jesse=hindmarsh.cc(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu on behalf of pe1chl(a)amsat.org> wrote: >(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) >_______________________________________________ >> Subject: >> [44net] Using Cisco Router as a gateway ? >> From: >> Drorap <drorap(a)netvision.net.il> >> Date: >> 12/26/2015 10:22 PM >> >> To: >> AMPRNet working group <44net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu> >> >> >> Hi there >> I have started to config a Cisco rouer to serve as a gateway for the AMPRNET >> I put in the command the following lines >> >> interface Tunnel0 >> ip unnumbered Ethernet0 >> no ip directed-broadcast >> tunnel source Ethernet0 >> tunnel destination 132.239.255.131 >> tunnel mode ipip > >Unfortunately due to the way tunnels work in Cisco and other commercial routers you will >need to repeat that 300 times with different destinations and setup 500 routes to route the >traffic, and repeat that regularly because the destinations and routes change all the time. > >With a Linux system instead of the Cisco you can automate that very easily.
