Re: [Vyatta-users] Activate intervlan routing
Hello,
I hope that my post was complete. I posted the config of my two switches if
you need anything, please tell me.
Thanks a lot for help.

Hello,
I attached the config of the two switches in the message.
Note tha the switches can't ping the vyatta, and vyatta can't ping the
switches ( vyatta and switches are in the same vlan 101).
Vyatta can't ping vms .
But each vms can ping all the interfaces of vyatta ( eth0 and all vif)
VMs on the same vlan can communicate
Virtual switches of ESX tag Virtual machines packets with the appropiate
vlan ID.
The config of vyatta is very simple, because my goal is to route two vlans
: route vlan 104 and 106 in first time:
ethernet eth0{

vif 106{

}
}
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hmm. Can you post your configs in this new scenario (the switch and
vyatta).
Also, a netstat -rn (or route print from windows) form two hosts that
can't talk to each other would be helpful. It feels like there's a route
missing somewhere.

Hello,
I did the test, so I start vyatta v3 on a machine using the live CD.
It is better than before because My virtual machines can ping the Vifs
of the vyatta: a machine of the vlan 104 can ping the vif 104 which is its
default gateway ( 10.30.104.254), it can also ping the vif 103
(10.30.103.254).
It is the same for machines of the Vlan 103.
But the problem is :
A machine from the Vlan 103 can't ping an other machine from vlan 104,
and machines from vlan 104 can't ping machines of vlan 103.
I also notice that from a VM i can ping all the interfaces of the
vyatta, but from vyatta i can't ping the VMs.
Thank you in advance

I'll try this tomorrow, and i tell you the result.
2007/11/21, Aubrey Wells [EMAIL PROTECTED] :
I think you'll find the problem is with the vmware server not
passing through the vlan tags (especially since its windows, ive never
had
much luck with 801q and microsoft). i dont think that is supported.
everything looks correct except that part. do you have a desktop
machine you
can run the livecd on with an identical config and see if it works? that
will at least isolate it down to vmware or vyatta. I'm pretty sure
you'll
find its the former.

Re: [Vyatta-users] New router using CF for boot
Both tmpfs and unionfs are available in vc3. I wouldn't put all of var under tmpfs unless you never plan on using packages upgrades of any sort. However to change /var/log and /tmp to tmpfs file systems you should edit your /etc/fstab to add something like the following lines... Make sure you have enough r tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 tmpfs /var/log tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 This is safe enough. Obviously, make sure you have enough RAM to handle your log files... The more complicated solution would be to install the system to boot using a union. In order to do that you would need to boot the livecd. Next create a partition and an ext3 file system on a local disk using parted or fdisk and mke2fs. Then mount the new partition and copy /live_media/ to the partition. Finally you will have to setup grub by hand on that partition. Create your partition/boot/grub/menu.lst file and run grub-install. These are not exact the exact steps, but the outline should provide enough pointers to get you going. this will create the root union using tmpfs. You can make writable union partitions by editing the fstab on the installed system after the first boot. Cheers, Robert.

This is going to be a learning thing for me for sure, so wish me luck ;) If I am unsucessful on my own (+misc support), I am afraid I am just going to lean twards buying a few cisco 7900's. It is the proven reliability and support that Cisco brings to the table. *note* I am a CCNP so I am a little biast, also down 8 pints of Guinness ;p From: silvertip257 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 11:38 PM To: Max [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray I'm reading it, but as I have not customized Vyatta myself yet, I really can't help you much.

I have a bit of a head scratcher here.. it seems the Vyatta 3.0 live CD does not work out of the box on G1 Compaq DL360's. From what I can tell the sym53c8xx module is loaded before the needed cpqarray module and thats what is causing the failure. I have tried unloading the modules and reloading cpqarray but don't seem to have any luck. My guess is the SCSI controller needs to be reset or what have you. Is there a way to prevent the sym53c8xx module from loading from the boot loader? Or should I look into recreating the live CD from scratch with my own kernel?

Re: [Vyatta-users] Vyata deployment across different servers
Did you remove the HW-ID entries from the config file before moving it to the new machine(s)? -- Aubrey Wells Senior Engineer Shelton | Johns Technology Group A Vyatta Ready Partner www.sheltonjohns.com On Nov 26, 2007, at 1:47 PM, Thomas wrote: Greetings, I'm sorry if this has been addressed in the Config Guide just in case I missed it. We have built out a Vyatta router that we are finally satisfied with. We would like the generic portions of this configuration to become the base configuration for other routers that we will deploy. I know that when Vyatta boots it has some approximate functionality to migrate configurations (tell me if I'm on the wrong track here...) but is there a way for me to deploy the same config.boot to other Vyatta routers so that they come more or less pre-installed with only some minor changes that need to be made to the interfaces and some configured IP addresses? I tried this by just copying the config.boot, but when I did so the router appeared to lock up in the following bootup. No good. I figured there must be a procedure in place to accomplish the same task... -Thomas Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.
