Just to clarify the usage:
It is about the ignore list, the -a option.
Let's assume your public IP is 193.0.0.1, hostname
myip.dyndns.org and
44.1.1.0/24 and 44.2.0.0/16 your subnets.
Until now, if you where behind a router, you had to put your public IP
there:
ampr-ripd -s -i ampr0 -p the_password -a 193.0.0.1
Now if your IP addres changes, it will not work anymore.
In this new version, you can either put your hostname in the -a option:
ampr-ripd -s -i ampr0 -p the_password -a
myip.dyndns.org
Or you could use your ampr subnets (which I recommend):
ampr-ripd -s -i ampr0 -p the_password -a 44.1.1/24,44.2/16
or
ampr-ripd -s -i ampr0 -p the_password -a 44.1.1.0/24,44.2.0.0/16
all as a comma separated list.
In this case, if your public IP changes, the daemon will still work as
expected.
It is important to use the IP/netmask combinations AS REGISTERED in the
portal.
You can NOT use 44.182.20/23 instead of 44.182.20.0/24 and 44.182.21.0/24
If you use a hostname, there will be a name resolution request 30 sec. after
each received RIP broadcast, which will get you in sync after maximum 10
minutes.
Using ampr subnets, the effect is immediately since those IPs don't change.
