Sorry for the layout mess in the previous post!!
I saw that Microtik Routers support IPIP by default
Is it possible to make a gateway with home routers ?
If yes how to deal with 300 tunnels lines to the rest of the gateways on the net ?
will a home router have enough memory for that ?
Look what Marius posted yesterday. He has made a script for MikroTik routers that updates
the configuration using the AMPR RIP transmissions!
This is a very nice solution because it will receive all current routes automatically
without requiring an external computer.
MikroTik routers are very versatile. They can run user-written programs (scripts) to do
things like this.
I have a MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD here, which would classify as a home router. It has
128MB RAM and 128MB flash
which is more than enough for this purpose. I paid 125 euro for this nice box.
They also exist in rackmount version, and we use these in our digital network.
And they have a nice web interface that actually is usable also for advanced things.
(contrary to some other manufacturers products where the web interface is only for
rudimentary tasks and advanced
things are only possible via the command line)
I have no experience with the script that Marius posted yet, as I do not run IPIP here at
home, I use IPsec VPN
from the MikroTik to my Raspberry Pi in a datacenter which does IPIP.
Notice that for best results (and less headaches) you need to put this router directly on
a public IP, not behind
a provider-supplied router that does NAT. Either put the provider router in transparent
(bridge) mode or omit it completely.
(depending on what connection you have)

New subject: Making Gateways With Home Routers ?
Hi Rob (and Others)
Yes I saw what Marius Posted and it is excellent solution ..... BUT.... it was done on
Professional Router
Unfortunately i cant hold my hand on Microtik here I have to order it from abroad
so The router i must pay for it and the delivery is expensive
But all the Firm here have Cisco and it is more easy for me to get Cisco
But I think I can get microtik home router (the cheeps one that cost 30 dollar or so)
in the Computer shops that are the router i meant for while asking if a home router can
work ...
As for PC we will need PC for other tasks (one will be Network monitoring (with
whatsup-gold or other kind like programs) so PC is not a problem but i prefer it will
not be for the routing task
In fact i got a donation of a server (probably more powerfull then the Proliant you
mentioned you have) so i hope it will be the one and maybe this server will take care of
all what we need (include making the Update to the routers if we still use routers)

you can deploy routeros on any x86 hardware even a VM. I'm using an old
Watchguard X series (since 1200 mhz celeron)> I've also had routeros
working on the E series as well (also 1200mhz celeron). and folks were
able to use the XTM5 series too. these are available on ebay.

Ronen,
On the mips-based single core Mikrotik routers, like most smaller models in
the 30-100$ price class, there is an even better solution:
They have a virtual machine called metarouter which allow you to run OpenWRT
in them. There you can use ampr-ripd...

New subject: Perl Script for Encap file to Cisco Clarifications needed
Hi there
With the help of a Good Friend I have got today the first time the output of a perl script
that take Encap file and convert it to tunnel commands
here is one part of the tunnel commands
interface tunnel 746844928
description Link to 44.131.243.0
ip unnumbered loopback1
tunnel source xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
tunnel destination 80.68.61.60
ip tcp adjust-mss 1436
ip access-group acl_44 in
!
tunnel mode ipip
!
ip route 44.131.243.0 255.255.255.0 tunnel746844928
I have some questions
1) why the acl 44 in needed for ?
2) why the tcp MSS set to 1436 ?
3) why interface loopback is used ? I use the interface tunnel and do the 44 net on
ethernet interface not using loopback at all
Please advice
Thanks Forward
