similar to: IPv6 Host and Router.

Hi list, My network was assigned a private AS and my ISP(4) urged me to use BGP ! My Other 3 providers on my Shorewall BOX are typical aDSL lines while the 4th is an 1G optical uplink with 64 addresses. Currently I am in a balance, track mode in shorewall ISP setup.. After I installed - configured and started zebra + bgp my static routing tables got filled with about 850 static routes to

Hi, I plan to implement a redundant Internet connection using BGP on 2 different Linux Routers. The routing daemon software I will be using is Zebra (zebra.org). I''m wondering if I should have my Linux firewall behind the 2 BGP routers, or could I keep the shorewall on both BGP routers? Has anyone had any experience with this? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Sam

Hi, I have successfully shape bandwidth using htb.init using ip address , but when i try to shape zebra BGP using their ip address and BGP port it can''t match the class for BGP and always get the default class. Here''s my htb.init script in the bridge : #eth0-2:50.bgp RATE=128kbit RULE=192.168.192.163 RULE=192.168.199.22 RULE=*:179 #eth1-2:50.bgp RATE=128kbit

Before I start, I don''t want to do ECMP or simple bonding ... I have multiple Internet connections available to multiple boxes on one of my networks. Box A connects to ISPs 1, 2 and 3 Box B connects to ISPs 1 and 4 Boxes A and B are both connected to each other and the rest of the network. 1) I would like to set up some dynamic routing in such a way that any given outgoing packet from

I'm looking for an open source router solution, and someone from the list recently recommended zebra (www.zebra.org). I haven't yet identified all my needs, but I'm guessing that it will do all my routing needs for a, say, class C set of IP addresses, particularly if I ever have to do anything BGP-related. Anyone have any pointers before I delve in? Or possibly a recommendation for

Hi, I''ve setup quagga on a shorewall firewall server. The only purpose for this is to use BGP to connect to a "peering platform" supplied by our data centre supplier. There are some very large ISP''s (and other various providers including google) on this peering platform and connecting to it will speed up access to/from our services and hosted servers. The physical

Hello Anyone used Zebra routing daemon and created virtual routers before? Is it possible to run OSPF/BGP on each virtual server and get them to talk to each other? I''m new to Xen and I need to know... I will be trying this out in the coming days and I want to know about any pitfalls to avoid. -- Nonchalantly yours GobbledeGeek [Every thing but Gobbledegook.. !!]

Hello! I have trouble with multipath routing. Those options are enabled in kernel: [*] IP: policy routing [*] IP: equal cost multipath [*] IP: equal cost multipath with caching support (EXPERIMENTAL) <*> MULTIPATH: round robin algorithm But issuing: ip r a 1.2.3.0/23 scope global equalize nexthop via 80.245.176.11 \ dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 80.245.176.13 dev eth0

Dear sirs, I have the following situation: I need to prioritize traffic as this: Higher priority UDP traffic from VoIP servers, Medium priority http port 80, low priority SMTP & POP ports 25 & 110. Now, we run OSPF & BGP with Zebra routers on at least 8 different routers before going out to the Backbone provider. As I understand, the problem with Zebra is that only hold 1

I forgot to ask a few more. Is there a relation between the hashtable ID /(parent,handle) so that if I used 2: for a hash table I could or couldn''t use 2: for a (parent,handle)ID? I also noticed that you type the hashtables like 2:2: can you have more levels with this? like 2:2:2:1: ? and I guess the same question with the parent/handles. thanks again. -- When dealing with a slow

After installing Zebra for ripd to get win2k routes I am getting this May 20 23:24:20 ns1 kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=64.42.53.202 DST=64.42.53.207 LEN=92 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=520 DPT=520 LEN=72 May 20 23:25:25 ns1 last message repeated 3 times I am new to zebra, so I am assuming that this is broadcasting to windoz for routes weird !!!

Hi folks, At work, we're considering the idea to replace the presente router with a stardard box with CentOS as a SO and GNU Zebra as a routing software. The line is a 4Mbps SDSL. ?What do you think about Zebra and what are your experiencies with it? Any feedback will be so appreciated. TIA.

Hi Guys, I would just like to have advice and pointers of the best way would be, Someting like BGP or OSPF? I have 2 internet connections at diffrent locations. let say connection A and B 1.) router A has a fast internet connection and a seperate interface for clients using /lan/pppoe/ipsec etc and another ethernet interface going to router B 2.) router B has similiar setup as router A and

I''m attempting to perform some class based routing using Linux in combination with quagga/zebra. My current experience is with FreeBSD/ipfw/quagga. I''ve read most of the LARTC documentation as well Martin Brown''s Guide to IP Layer Network Admin. Here''s the basics of my set up: |- R1 <-> ISP1 R0-| |- R2 <-> ISP2 | |- R3

I have some problem with traffic shaping on debian testing. I actually posted a full config on the list a while ago but didn''t get any answers. The problem is that traffic doesn''t get into the user classes (~150) when I associate a class with a qdisc. I tried sfq, fifo but none works. If I dont''t associate a qdisc with a class classification occurs well.

I''m using iproute2-ss010824 and a 2.4.20 kernel. Quite a subtle issue here, so I can imagine it has not been spotted before. The setup: I have set up a machine as a gateway. The ''external'' interface uses a dummy IP address (eg. 10.0.0.2) and the internal side is a normal address. (it''s more complex in real life using Zebra and such, but this is the basic

I was doing a test on adding a lot of leafs and filters, I create 100,000 filters with about 25,000 leafs, it has taken over 30minutes to add all the rules. Does any one have any info on the Maxium or so number or rules a box should have to remain operational and also able to install the rules? This was on an AMD 700 athlon. -- When dealing with a slow pipe, never underestimate the throughput

Sorry for all the questions I''m just trying to understand how it all works. Thank you for your time. Is the following configuration possible? where ht 800 links to 3: for the 3rd Octet in the IP and then 3: links to 4: for the fourth Octet? tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 prio 10 handle 3: protocol ip u32 divisor 256 tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 10 u32 ht 800::

I have read everything I can find in the docs and faqs about this, and I feel there must just be some simple thing I''m not doing, but I''m stumped. Two interfaces, eth0 and eth1.  eth1 is the WAN connection to the upstream provider, and has a single IP and the default gateway.  Connection uses bgp. eth0 is the LAN interface, and has multiple IP addresses, private (ie., 10.0.2.x)

I have a question about a few things: ok when you have parent x:x and handle x:x link x:x flowid and so on. What is the max values of each of these, also where these or some of these hex numbers? I tried this on redhat 7.3 so there may have been some updates, but this is one of the tests I did. [root@RL1 root]# tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 10 u32 ht fffe:: match ip dst
