I'm currently having some problems trying to work-out how to get a linux/390 router to broadcast rip version 2 to a neighbouring router this is the setup :-
SLES-linux-390-router: has 2 interfaces: eth0 (with qeth/qdio drivers for an OSA Express GB card) ip address 10.0.138.86 gateway to 10.0.138.0/25 hsi1 ( hipersockets on a z/VM guest LAN) ip address 10.0.61.65 gateway to 0.0.61.64/26 I can ping from a host on the 10.0.138.0/25 network to a host on 10.0.61.64/26 provided the host a static route via 10.0.138.86 and vice versa from a host in 10.0.61.64/26 to 10.0.138.0/25 with a static route via 10.0.61.65 So far so good. The problem from my perspective is that the rest of the the intranet is reachable via a cisco router (ip adddress 10.0.138.1) which is expecting any hosts in 10.0.138.0/25 to broadcast via rip v2 the ip addresses of any hosts that reside the the hipersockets subnet. I've been experimenting with zebra.conf and ripd.conf to try to get this working without any success, here a summary of what I currently have: zebra.conf ------------- interface eth0 multicast ! Direct connections ip route 10.0.138.0/25 eth0 ! default ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.138.1 interface hsi1 multicast ! Direct connections ip route 10.0.61.64/26 hsi1 ripd.conf ----------- router rip ! version 2 ! network 10.0.138.0/25 network 10.0.61.64/26 redistribute connected All I can tell is that I cannot ping between hosts on the other side of the cisco router and the hipersockets subnet. Not am I privy to the details of the set-up of the cisco router. I've tried using tcpdump to gather some information but I if I restrict the output to be via host or network then I get no information displaying. So I'm stumped, any comments are welcome, though bear in mind I'm a newbie at the networking stuff. John P Taylor IBM Hursley
