Hi! I have installed linux-mpls 0.996 (mpls 1.0) over linux kernel =
2.4.13 (Red Hat 6.2 distribution) in pentium 133 with 32 Mb RAM it seems =
to work properly, but I have some questions:
(First of all, sorry for my english...)
- Can someone tell me one easy way to find out if I have installed =
correctly the mpls-linux?
- How can I redirect the mplsadm debug messages to a file?
- When I make the basic example that is in mpls-linux/utils/ (this is a =
simple LSP between two hosts) After executing all the commands to make =
the LSP I put in both hosts ./mplsadm -d to set the debug option. Then I =
make a ping from one host to the other with the count option in order to =
send only one packet. In the sending-host it seems to work properly =
because it ends with mpls_output: exit , however in the receiving-host =
it ends with the mpls_rcv: exit message but it doesn't end executing the =
mplsadm, it seems to be waiting to another message. And when I make =
another ping, it receive it in the same way as the first one and it =
continues waiting. It seems to be a no-end loop, the only way to exit =
from it is with 'control + c'. Is it correct? or Do I have installed or =
executed wrongly the mplsadm utility?
In receiving host side these are the messages:
mpls_rcv: exit
mpls_opcode_peek: enter
mpls_opcode_peek: exit
mpls_input: enter
mpls_input: labelspace=3D 0, label=3D 17, exp=3D 0, =
B.O.S.=3D 1, TTL=3D 64
mpls_input: pop
mpls_opcode_pop: enter
mpls_opcode_pop: exit
mpls_input: mii_proto 8
mpls_finish: enter
mpls_finish: exit
mpls_input: sending to IPv4
skb_dump from eth0 with len 84 (284) headroom=3D 32 =
tailroom=3D 8
(three lines with ASCII chars, I think they are the =
bytes that are in the packet)
mpls_input: retval from ip_rcv 0
mpls_rcv: exit
(And here is where it waits to receive another packet from the other =
host)
- Now I have compiled the ldp-portable package, and I don't know how it =
exactly works.
I have had some compiling problems, the first time I try to build it, it =
failed and ended with a core_dump. But then I made a clean, and then, =
when I compiled the package it seems to be compiled correctly (only a =
few warning messages about unused variables).
So, can someone tell me a basic list of instructions (in the =
ldp-portable prompt) to verify that ldp-portable works properly?=20
- It seems you have to add hosts and interfaces, but do I have to add a =
LSP between the host with mplsadm before using ldp-portable? or Does =
ldp-portable make the LSPs?=20
- Is there some documentation about this package?
- Now I'm trying to install ethereal to take some statistics, but I =
don't know if it works with mpls-linux. I'm tryng with ethereal 0.8.19, =
but I can't install it in Red Hat 6.2, so now I'm going to install Red =
Hat 7.1, but I don't know if it will work with mpls-linux and ethereal. =
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!
Dani
