I have a small network that's growing. For the last few years I have run
a Tnos bbs that is hosted on a linux (RH 5.2, 2.1.36)machine running
diald (works great!). Now I have added another machine (RH 6.0,
2.2.5-15) to support a 56k packet port and to learn ax25-utils. I have
attempted to setup a AXIP tunnel between the two machines and the config
is thus:
Machine 1 HUB
Machine 2
ax25-util port ax2 linux RH6.0 | linux
RH5.2 Tnos
(ax2
44.8.4.13)------(44.8.0.115)-eth0-|-eth0-(44.8.0.112)--sl0--(44.8.0.32)
axip call KC6IKE-6 www server | diald server axip
call AA6QN-6
Tnos:
attach axip axip1 256 44.8.4.13 aa6qn-6
#attach axip <port><mtu><destination><my_axip_call>
sl0 is an internal slattach link linking the tnos with the linux kernel
AX25-Utils:
#ax25ipd
socket ip
mode tnc
mycall kc6ike-6
myalias axip2
device /dev/ttypd
speed 9600
loglevel 0
route aa6qn-6 44.8.0.32
#axports
ax2 9600 256 7 axip link too aa6qn-6
#rc.local
/usr/sbin/kissattach -i 44.8.4.13 -m 256 /dev/ptyqd ax2
(for some reason or another the port will not bind to [axip name]) This
also happened with my data engine mkiss attach with defaulted to ax0 and
ax1.
I started ax25ipd in the rc.local with all the other daemons. I also had
to create a sym link from libncurses.so.3.4 too libncurses.so.4.2 to get
'call' to work. I then tried to 'call ax2 aa6qn (bbs), (-6), (-5 conv
bridge), (-3 node) while running a trace on the tnos axip1 port and did
not see any ax25 connect. I insured that I had IP connection from
44.8.4.13 too 44.8.0.32 (the two endpoints of the ax25 tunnel) and it
looked good. I then tried to go the other way from the Tnos port 'c
axip1 kc6ike' and saw the outgoing ax25 call but no response from the
far end of the tunnel. I have a RJ45 Ethernet Hub in between both
machines and can see both ends trying to connect.
Help to resolve this would be appreciated.
