I asked for people using gated in the list some weeks ago, with no
answer. So good, someone has tested it !!
What version of gated are you using ? I used the one wich comes with
RedHat 5.0, RedHat 5.2, and they have strange behaviours in rip-1 and
rip-2. I looked at gated url, and that's true, there is problems with
this protocolos, reported here by some users.
My problem was that with RedHat 5.0 version rip doesn't work, and with
RedHat 5.2 the rip broadcast only worked over the netrom and rose
interfaces, not ax25 ones... Maybe gated is not well compiled in this
distributions (I haven't tested to recompile it).
Rip-2 is "very important" for hams, so I think that the better will be
to be "represented" somewhere in the gated consorcium, and try to
improve this software to support a parameter in the config file wich
defines the period of the updates (well, in the future maybe...)
I suppose that this period is hard coded somewhere in the sources with a
#define
About routing, what do you think about that:
Use rip-2 for internetwork conectivity
Use rspf for intranetwork conectivity
The problem I've found with rspf is that you can define a config file,
it must use /etc/ax25/rspfd.conf ... I wanted to have running several
rspfd processes, one for each radio interface of the gateway, completly
independent.
