[mpls-linux-general] problem with iptables. Error invalid argument type.

[J. N. <oc...@gm...>]

Hi all,


I'm trying to make the scenario (QoS scenario) described in MPLS-Linux Labs
by Adrian Popa with VNUML (
http://www.dit.upm.es/vnumlwiki/index.php/Main_Page). I have a lot of
problems to achieve a kernel that I can compile (a lot of problems with uml
architecture). After aplying a lot of patches I finally be able to have a
testbed with mpls support and a filesystem with debian. The only kernel that
I can achieve to compile with uml and without errors is 2.6.18.1 (with mpls
patched too) but the problem is that if I install iptables like it syas in
http://www.elcom.pub.ro/~adrian.popa/mpls-linux/mpls-linux-docs/1-3-installation.html,
then when I launch iptables  for example in:

var1=`mpls nhlfe add key 0 instructions ds2exp 0xf 0x1e  0x3  0x0 0x0 exp2tc
0x3 0x1  0x0 0x3 push gen 2000 nexthop eth3 ipv4 10.0.5.3 | grep key |cut -c
17-26`

#create a FEC: packets with DSCP=0x1E and DSCP=0x00 go to nhlfe $var1
iptables -A FORWARD -m dscp --dscp 0x1e -j mpls --nhlfe $var1

it launches an error saying iptables: invalid argument type. I've been
seeking in Google and I see that probably is because the rpm file that I've
downloaded is for kernel 2.6.15.1 (like Adrian do in his manual) but
actually I can't compile any kernel previosu than 2.6.18.1 (vnuml problems)
and I dont know how to compile iptables for that version of Kernel. I try a
lot of options, trying to install iptables in the filesystem with 'chroot',
try to install when in the guest machine (run the virtual machines and
trying to install iptables.deb in every machine)... but all have the same
result. I try to know how to compile with that kernel support (2.6.18.1) or
if there is a version of MPLS for that kernel with a .rpm or .deb packet of
iptables.

The previous scenarios that don't use iptables run good in my mpls testbed
and changing my virtualitzacion system is not an option becaus I have to do
it with VNUML.

Thank you in advance for all advices,

regards

[J. N. <oc...@gm...>]

I  am aware that netkit have MPLS support but I have to make with VNUML
because I have made before another works with that platform and now that
after a lot of work I can have an MPLS kernel running on it I want to make
it work. I think that the only thing that it remains is download a version
of iptables (patched with mpls support) that runs with 2.6.18.1 or trying to
compile it with KERNEL_VERSION option, but by now I cannot achieve it :(

By the way, I cannot get access to your perforce server with visual clinet,
it launches an error saying that the server is too old:

only 2004.2 or later servers supported by Perforce Visual CLient.

I remember that moths ago I can get access to it. Anyone have the same
problem?

Thanks for all James and sorry for my english

[Adrian P. <adr...@gm...>]

Hello Jesus,

I wasn't able to compile iptables for my kernel a few years ago (I got all
sorts of gcc errors), so the only solution for me was to convert the patched
iptables rpm to deb (with alien). You should be able to find this rpm on
sourceforge, and you should install it by force in your debian system.

Regards,
Adrian

Re: [mpls-linux-general] problem with iptables. Error invalid argument type.

[J. N. <oc...@gm...>]

Hi Adrian, first of all thank you for your response!

I was able to do what you say ( convert with alien and install in my debian
system in guest machine) the problem is that the version that you say in the
document is for MPLS 1950 and for 2.6.15.1 kernel machine, but I wasn't able
to virtualize in VNUML that type of Kernel. I only was able to virtualise
and make run 2.6.18.1 and I think that the patched version of MPLS Linux was
1955. I do'nt have problems with the previous scenarios but concretely
iptables packet launch an error when I use (invalid argument). I know
(because of google) that it launch that error when: " This happens when the
structure size between kernel and userspace changes. You will need to
recompile the iptables userspace program using the include files of your new
kernel. This only happens if you (or the vendor of your kernel) has applied
some patches either only to the old or only to the new kernel".

I don't know how to do this because I'm working with virtual machines in
UML; I have a recompiled UML kernel (2.6.18.1) and a Filesystem (debian
lenny) and all that I do is install the packets that you provide in your
document doint a 'chroot' and installing in filesystem. I think that if I be
able to download the version of iptables.rpm that run with kernel
2.6.18.1(in time that that kernel was the current kernel) I could
solution this.

Thank you both for your time ;)

Re: [mpls-linux-general] problem with iptables. Error invalid argument type.

[Adrian P. <adr...@gm...>]

As far as I can see, the files for mpls-linux 1.950 and 1.955 are no longer
available on sourceforge. Please ask James to send you the rpm for iptables
1.955 and convert it to deb.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] problem with iptables. Error invalid argument type.

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

Your fighting a losing battle by trying to use old versions of
mpls-linux.  The easiest path is to use Fedora 8 with mpls-linux 1.961.

If you choose to use something other then the RPMs I release then you
are pretty much on your own.  I barely have enough time to keep the RPMs
up to date for fedora 8, I definitely do not have time to support every
combination of linux distribution and mpls-linux version.

I'm sorry.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] problem with iptables. Error invalid argument type.

[J. N. <oc...@gm...>]

I understand your point James. Believe me, I tried to use rpm of mpl 1961
with Fedora 8 and when I use a single PC to use MPLS linux I use this
combination, my problem is that I also have to do a virtualitzacion and the
only option that I have is to use that version of MPLS-Linux. If you dont
have the rpm of iptables of MPLS 1955 don't worry about it, I'll try to
achieve it in other manner.

Please don't get angry it's not my intention. Sorry for the problems that I
could give you and for my bad English too ;)
