mpd as pppoe server problem

2005-11-07 Thread Ganbold

Hi,

I'm trying to configure mpd as a pppoe server in FreeBSD 5.3. However ADSL 
user can't log in to pppoe server.

Nothing happens on mpd console.

MX# mpd -f mpd.conf
Multi-link PPP for FreeBSD, by Archie L. Cobbs.
Based on iij-ppp, by Toshiharu OHNO.
mpd: pid 20841, version 3.18 ([EMAIL PROTECTED] 10:43  7-Nov-2005)
[PPPoE] ppp node is "mpd20841-PPPoE"
[PPPoE] using interface ng0
mpd: accept encryption: not applicable
[PPPoE] the max MTU on type "pppoe" links is 1492
[PPPoE] exec: /sbin/ifconfig rl0 up
[PPPoE:PPPoE] [PPPoE] PPPoE server listening on rl0: for service "*"

Here is is my mpd.conf:

default:
load pppoe
pppoe:
new -i ng0 PPPoE PPPoE
set bundle no multilink
set bundle enable compression
set bundle accept encryption
set bundle max-logins 1
set bundle enable radius-acct
set bundle enable radius-auth
set iface idle 0
set iface disable on-demand
set iface disable proxy-arp
set iface enable tcpmssfix
set iface mtu 1500
set iface route default
set link type pppoe
set link mtu 1500
set link no pap chap
set link enable pap chap
set link keep-alive 60 180
set link max-redial -1
set link mtu 1492
set link latency 1
set ccp yes mpp-e40
set ccp yes mpp-e128
set ccp yes mpp-stateless
set pppoe iface rl0
set pppoe service "*"
set pppoe disable originate
set pppoe enable incoming
set ipcp ranges 192.168.5.50/32 192.168.5.128/32
set ipcp dns x.x.x.x
set ipcp yes vjcomp
set ipcp no vjcomp
set radius server x.x.x.x 1812 1813
set radius timeout 10
set radius config /etc/ppp/radius.conf
set radius retries 3

What am I missing on above config? How can I debug mpd ? Because I don't 
see any logs coming.


thanks in advance,

Ganbold

Do you see PPPoE PADI packets with help of tcpdump?

Gleb, I got it working. I have several questions:

In log it says:
...
[PPPoE] LCP: phase shift AUTHENTICATE --> NETWORK
[PPPoE] setting interface ng0 MTU to 1480 bytes
[PPPoE] up: 1 link, total bandwidth 64000 bps
...
[PPPoE:PPPoE] show link
Link PPPoE:
Configuration
MRU: 1500 bytes
Ctrl char map  : 0x000a bytes
Retry timeout  : 2 seconds
Max redial : -1 connect attempts
Bandwidth  : 64000 bits/sec

Can I change the bandwidth of my customer? Basically I would like to 
configure it in DSLAM, not in mpd server.

Is it possible to change it in mpd?

thanks,

Ganbold

Does mpd really limits bandwidth to 64000 bits/sec?

Gleb,

Sorry for confusion, it was configured on the DSLAM as 64kb.
One more question, where mpd sends its log? I don't see any logs on syslog 
messages. How do I make mpd log its messages?

Sorry again for lot of questions.

thanks again,

Ganbold

Just run mpd with argument "-s mpd". And add the following to syslogd.conf:

!mpd
*.* /var/log/mpd

Re: Freebsd 6.0 doesnt detect local APIC on a Pentium 3 machine

2005-11-07 Thread Joseph Koshy

Unfortunately not having the APIC enabled in the BIOS also
means that we cannot use PMCs, the APIC timer or the thermal
monitor, even if the CPU implements these features.

My too simple experiment attempting to enable the local APIC
on an AMD K7 box didn't go very well; this would be entirely
due to lack of clue on my part since Linux 2.4 seems to be
able to turn on the APIC on the same hardware without issues.

ARP request retransmitting

2005-11-07 Thread Gleb Smirnoff
  Colleagues,

  I have a proposition on changing the behavior of ARP retransmitting.
Currently we after sending several ARP requests, sending ARP requests
for given IP is suppressed for some interval (by default 20 seconds).
Probably this feature was designed in early 90th, when sending one
additional broadcast packet was an expensive thing.

  I suggest to keep sending ARP requests while there is a demand for
this (we are trying to transmit packets to this particular IP),
ratelimiting these requests to one per second. This will help in a
quite common case, when some host on net is rebooting, and we are
waiting for him to come up, and notice this only after 1 - 20 seconds
since the time it is reachable.

  Any objections?

And even then it can't be used for any device interrupts since there aren't 
any I/O APICs.  On a UP machine without I/O APICs, it's actually probably 
more optimal to just use irq0 and irq8 for clocks rather than the lapic timer 
anyway.  The only real possible gain is the ability to use the profiling 
interrupt from the local APIC.

Does mpd really limits bandwidth to 64000 bits/sec?

 




that number is only 'pretend'   it is so  tha tyou can tell mpd which 
lionks ahf what %

of the traffic in multilink ppp.

i.e  64000 and 64000 will split the traffic in half for each link
64000 and 128000 will split it 1/3 and 2/3

(or so I remenber archie saying.)

IPsec: panic/reboot with 5.4-STABLE

2005-11-07 Thread David Boyd
Panics occur as often as every few hours (usually once or twice a day) on
eight identical systems used as VPN devices in hospital radiology appliance
maintenance network.  System were upgraded to 5.4-STABLE because panic(s)
was followed by hang in 5.4-RELEASE.

One other system running 4.10-RELEASE on Soekris Net4801 doesn't experience
this problem.

6.0-RELEASE: if_bridge+vlan panic

2005-11-07 Thread Csaba Urban
Hello,

I'm trying tho have if_bridge work with vlan members but kernel panics 
after a few minutes.  I tried if_bridge+ng_eiface+ng_vlan but it panics 
too. The strange thing is that it seems forwarding packets correctly 
until it crushes.

I have the following setup:
  
-x.x.2.1 [FreeBSD]x.x.1.1/24--tagged--[Cisco 2950]
  | | 
 vlan1  vlan2
  | |
  x.x.1.2/24x.x.1.3/24

STP must be disabled on the switch because it uses per vlan spanning-
tree (PVST) and if_bridge doesn't understand that but I can't set up 
vlans in the bridge to be in STP mode anyway.

Does it work for anybody?

Csaba

Can you submit a PR with the panic string, ifconfig output and any other
info that would be helpful.

A backtrace would be greatly appreciated, see the docs here

I got access to the BIOS of the Pentium 3 machine I am using, but it has 
no option to enable/disable the local APIC.

Joseph Koshy is right, Linux enables the local APIC timer while booting 
up. I got the following in the bootup log of Linux 2.4 kernel on the same 
machine.

-
Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling.
Found and enabled local APIC!

Using local APIC timer interrupts. 
calibrating APIC timer ...
-

Though there is no I/O apic in the UP machines, but I only wanted to use 
local APIC timer in the lapic_timer_oneshot() mode to schedule few timers 
accurately.
