I'm going to try and get mpls-linux running on Centos 5.2 (I have some other dependencies that are forcing me to Centos). Before I get going on it I wanted to see if anyone has tried this, and what kind of luck they had making it all work. Thanks, Scott |

I do not know of anyone who has done this. Let me know if there are any changes that need to be applied to the mpls linux patch to make it work.

Scott Your only concern should be the core linux release, aka 2.6.XX paying particularly to the "XX" s. I took a quick look at the Centos page but the Linux release did not jump out at me. If you let me know which linux, aka "uname -a" it uses I most likely have a patch file to match it, if James doesnt. My preferred OS if Fedroa 10, not sure why you have to use Centos and would be concerned that since its a Red Hat clone your kernel, userland, libs are limited to the release levels of Red Hat's distro. Note this is "not" to be read as a criticism of either distro as I prefer bleeding edge releases of Linux. Just call me a glutton for punishment :-). Actually what I do is baseline with Fedora 10, then back track to other distro. For example, I've ported James's MPLS-Linux to the PetaLinux distro, aka kernel 2.6.20. Anyway, is yu tell me your Centro kernel version, I most likely have the build for it. ....Chris James R. Leu wrote: > I do not know of anyone who has done this.

Chris, I'm also trying to get netfpga support on the same boxes, and it needs Centos 5. The kernel is: kernel.i686 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 installed and iproute is: iproute.i386 2.6.18-7.el5 installed Thanks, Scott > > ....Chris > > James R.

Troy This can be done. It will be important to pick the right MPLS-linux patch files, as I suspected. The kernel release changes between 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 where pretty significant in the IP subsystem area. But I believe I have a patches that will work. What I can do is pull from my archive, run a test patch against the 2.6.18 kernel, if it works send it to you and how to apply it. The actual patching testing against Centos you'll have to do. Oh and I almost forget, what is the IProute2 release you are using? Without IPRoute patched, MPLS-Linux is almost pointless so we'll have to match that up as well. Well get to it later today.... ...Chris Troy Frew wrote: > centos 5.2 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 > 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 > centos 5.3 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 > > on top of that, 32-bit has a regular, pae, xen, and centos plus kernel > I would recommend rebuilding the centos plus pae kernel for mpls. > > If you got this up and running, centos would be great for use as a > real mpls edge router in datacenter situations.
