Kevin,

  Thanks for the point to 802.1D!

  However, most devices that I have encountered in the past several
years that support 802.1p also support 802.1Q.  Phones, switches,
routers, etc.

Thought I would jump in here on the 802.1P. 
 
802.1P is priority queuing at the MAC layer.  IEEE standard 802.1p is a part
of the IEEE standard 802.1D. 802.1Q is the IEEE standard for vlans and is
part of the IEEE standard 802.1D. There are many switches with 802.1P
without 802.1Q VLAN's.

Lonnie,

  802.1p is expressed in an 802.1Q header, but you don't need to
specify a vlan and it is generally considered that most devices that
support one support the other.  However, you can define one and not
the other:

Lonnie,

  I was hoping that I could eventually figure out a way to set the
802.1p value for non-vlan interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2) as well.

  For VLANs only, I like your way more!

Mike,

  In Asterisk 1.2 it applies to both signalling and media.  In
Asterisk 1.4 you can specify different values for signalling, audio,
and video.

Or how about allow the VLAN definition have an optional trailing :N  
where (0 <= N <= 7)

VLANS="eth0.20:5"

I assume "0" is the current AstLinux defined priority?

In my case, I have Layer 2 switches, and only 802.1p priority tags  
are used.  (HP Procurve 1700 and 1800 series)

Is this the the current best way of handling priorities?

Re: [Astlinux-users] VLAN's and 802.1p priority

Just on this subject (PS my disorder is an irrational fear of packet loss),
does the tos= in sip.conf only set the TOS of the SIP signalling packets or
the media traffic as well?

Lonnie,

  AstLinux doesn't currently set 802.1p priorities on VLANs.  There
isn't even a config variable for it.  In linux, however, all you have
to do is set the correct value with vconfig:

vconfig set_egress_map eth0.41 1 5

  How about something like this:

EPRIO="eth2.41:5"

etc, etc, etc?

  Asterisk does not set layer 2 (802.1p) priority, but it does set
layer 3 (DSCP/IP TOS) with tos= in sip.conf, iax.conf, etc.  How are
your switches / routers configured for that?

[Astlinux-users] VLAN's and 802.1p priority

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hopefully this is of general academic interest...

I currently have many SPA-942 IP Phones and AstLinux (net4801) all  
connected via VLAN capable switches, networked on VLAN20.  My VLAN's  
are routed via m0n0wall (net4801) through a "tagged only" ethernet port.

But, the ethernet ports of the phones and net4801 are untagged, the  
switches are configured to add/strip the VLAN tags at the last few  
meters.

This all works well... but I have an Obsessive Network Tweaking  
Disorder ;) .  All my switches prioritize egress traffic based on the  
802.1p bits added along with the VLAN ID tag.

So, would I be smart in making all my internal voice traffic, VLAN  
tagged from phone to Astlinux (end to end)?   Easily done in the  
SPA-942's.

In AstLinux I assume:
VLANS="eth0.20"
EXTIF="eth0.20"

Would work in PBX only mode?

Question:  What does AstLinux set the 802.1p priority tags to?  Does  
asterisk sense the VLAN and set the 802.1p priority to 5 or 6 like  
the SPA-942 does?

 From a practical point of view, I doubt it makes much difference in  
my situation, but learning is half the fun.

Any experience is appreciated.

Michael,

  I haven't used analog interfaces in a while.

  What is fxotune supposed to do?

  Anyways, you can insert fxotune -s at about line 109 of
/etc/init.d/asterisk (before asterisk -p).

  Please let me know what best practice for fxotune is so that I can
include it in future releases.

Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes

I cannot begin to guess which missing partition grub refers to. Any ideas?

Re: [Astlinux-users] Fxo tune

[Gary G. H. <ghe...@co...>]

I have not had to mess with FXOTUNE in quite a while but seem to recall that
last time I did it, I used a recipe I found on voip-info.org ... there was a
"manual" first step where you ran the program at the command line which
created some sort of "sample file" ...  suspect you will have to put
Astlinux in R/W mode for this piece of puzzle ... then you edit the script
file that executes zaptel and insert the command just after the zap card is
initialized ...  the idea is that on reboot, fxotune reads the sample file
and tweaks the fxo ports based on the sample ...
 
I wish I was a bit more technically astute on this issue and could give you
specifics ... but the scenario I describe is I think accurate ... suspect a
bit of experimentation will be required ...  you might want to start with
the article at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+fxotune and see
if that helps ...

fxotune should run after zaptel is loaded.  It should check for some 
files then execute if those files are found (I forget if it's in /etc/ 
or /etc/asterisk ).  /etc/init.d/zaptel should load it though.

Basically what it does is read a set of variables to set the echo 
cancellation for the card.

  Anyways, you can insert fxotune -s at about line 109 of

Bryce,

Actually we went through this exercise a month or so back.  This 
particular chipset uses the r8169 driver, but requires a newer one than 
what is included in the kernel. 

Florian,

I don't know how soon or if we will be able to support this in the 
project.  More than likely it will just work when a newer kernel is 
used.  The 0.4 branch is based off an older kernel (2.6.16.12).  Trunk 
has 2.6.20.  I didn't see anything in the kernel change log to indicate 
any changes to the r8169 driver since that kernel release.  Do you know 
if that hardware works on a standard linux distribution with a 2.6.20 
kernel?

[Bryce C. <br...@rh...>]

Florian,
The r8169.ko module (for the RTL8169 chipset) is already included as 
part of Astlinux. To verify this, you can boot up an Astlinux machine 
and run `modprobe r8169` and then `ifconfig` will list the interface. I 
myself use this driver with the Netgear GA311 NIC with nor problems.

[Astlinux-users] Compilation of Realtek r1000 driver in Astlinux

[<ast...@ti...>]

Hi folks,

recently I bought a Kino-Luke system with integrated Realtek RTL8169 
(1gbit NIC) and unfortunately
the neccessary r1000 driver is not yet in Astlinux.

The driver itself is provided by Realtek:
ftp://210.51.181.211/cn/nic/r1000_v1.05.tgz

I already tried to add it as new package (in tags/0.4.5) - I 
customized the necessary variables, of course - but I didn't succeed.

So if someone of you has any advice for me I'd be quite grateful.


Best regards

Florian

The portage package is not used and probably should be removed unless 
someone can think of a really good reason to keep it.
