How do you add a subnet to a gateway? I have a /24 assigned to me and I want to use a /32 of it with an IPIP gateway. I added the gateway in the portal. Then when I went to add the network, the /24 is listed in the dropdown but I can't figure out how to add the network with a larger prefix. I don't want the whole /24 to route through this one gateway.

Tom,
I tried adding a smaller subnet to your 44.24.131.0/24 in the portal, and it is possible, but at the cost of changing the ownership of the subnet to me and the type away from 'end user' - in effect, turning it into a reallocable 'regional' subnet. This would probably be not such a good idea.
Although you are authorized to advertise that subnet via BGP, it appears from traceroute that you are not doing so. That means that, for the purposes of an experiment, I could manually add a longer prefix subnet of it to the amprgw local override files, in effect adding it to the copy of the encap file that the RIP sender uses. It would *NOT* be in the encap file that is distributed by the portal, so people using the FTP'd copy of the encap file wouldn't learn that route. Thus it would be only in the nature of a temporary experiment. Remember that to be routed by amprgw, you would also have to have an entry in the AMPR.ORG DNS for each host address you want active.
Let me know what you want me to do. - Brian

I can add it manually if required.

Hmm, so it's a coordinator only thing? It would be nice if users could "coordinate" their own space and break it up as desired. I'll contact John (my regional coordinator) if I need this done.

Yes, it is a network I announce by BGP a few times per year for a special event. When the system is not in use, it is not announced.
In this case, I wanted to use the network purely out of convenience. It's already assigned to me, and so I thought I would be able to quickly put a gateway on it. My goal is not actually to gate packets to this network. After all the talk about RIP, I just wanted a system to receive the RIP broadcasts so I could see how that worked. I wanted a gateway (RIP receiver) without a network.
I originally set up the gateway without any networks attached. I monitored it for about an hour and didn't receive any RIP broadcasts, so I figured maybe a network was required. It was then I started looking for a way to only assign part of the network to the gateway (a /32). I didn't find one, so I just assigned the whole /24 for now and posted this question to the list.
This morning I see that RIP broadcasts have started coming in. Was it me adding the network to the gateway that made it start working, or does it just take a while? Ideally, I'd like to remove the network from the gateway (so it's not really a gateway) and still receive the RIP broadcasts.
How long should it take to start receiving RIP broadcasts? What is the significance of the timing?
Let me know what you want me to do.
Please update the portal to allow users to assign arbitrary subnets of their networks to gateways and send RIP broadcasts to gateways even if they do not have a network assigned.
Tom
It was you adding the network to the gateway, then up to an hour delay for the updated encap file to be fetched by amprgw and used to update the routing tables. The fetch is initiated at 20 minutes past the hour, but with the current DoS attack on the portal, the fetch can take a while as FTP connections are slow.
If you remove the network from the gateway, you will no longer be in the encap file, and the RIP transmissions will stop being sent to you. - Brian
