Re: [casper] 10Gbe yellow block outside of subnet?

2010-10-13 Thread Jason Manley
The 10GbE block is hard-coded with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.  Anything 
outside of this subnet is routed through the gateway specified by you at 
configuration (so it is possible to route traffic to other subnets provided you 
have a correctly configured gateway). 

With this subnet mask, we need an ARP table of 256 addresses which maps nicely 
into BRAM. It should be possible to modify the VHDL to support different subnet 
masks and you would then need to modify the tgtap driver too. This is not 
supported in the standard toolflow.

Hi Billy,

I'm not aware of the 10Gbe being specific to certain subnets.  Are you sure
it's a generating packets issue and not a receiving packets?

Have you tried looking for packets using something like wireshark or
tcpdump?

Also, if you run ifconfig, what is your subnet mask set to?

[casper] 10Gbe yellow block outside of subnet?

2010-10-13 Thread Barott, William Chauncey
Hi all,

 

I'm running version 7 of the toolflow compiling for BEE2s.  Have run
into a difficulty with the 10Gbe yellow block.

I can quite successfully generate packets within the same subnet - e.g.
the BEE2 on 10.4.0.100 and a receiver computer on 10.4.0.101.  However,
I've not been successful in trying to generate packets outside of the
/24 subnet.  With the same 10.4.0.100 BEE2 address, I cannot get packets
delivered to 10.5.0.101, for example (note the 4 changed to 5).  I've
not been able to find a subnet configuration for the BEE2 10gbe block -
maybe I've missed it, nor have I found anything about such a limitation
in the documentation.  It could also be a peculiarity of my network
setup (though it's all quite out of the box), but difficult to diagnose
at this stage.

 

Has someone out there successfully done what I'm trying to do?  Or know
that it's not possible?

Any info is appreciated.  Thanks!

 

Billy
