[LARTC] HOWTO v.0.1.0 error

[LARTC] HOWTO v.0.1.0 error

[Ron]

<PRE>I noticed an error in the HOWTO (which I saw by reading this list has 
affected at least one other person).

In the GRE section of the ADV Routing HOWTO the commands are listed as:

ip tunnel add netb mode gre remote 172.19.20.21 local 172.16.17.18 ttl 255
ip addr add 10.0.1.1 dev netb
ip route add 10.0.2.0/24 dev netb

when they should be:

ip tunnel add netb mode gre remote 172.19.20.21 local 172.16.17.18 ttl 255
ip link set netb up
ip addr add 10.0.1.1 dev netb
ip route add 10.0.2.0/24 dev netb

(and obviously the same applies to the neta section)

I was fortunate enough to figure this out on my own, but some people may 
not be so lucky. Hopefully the maintainers of the HOWTO will add this 
correction to the next release of the HOWTO if they get a spare second in 
between the millions of other things that they surely have going on.

Regardless, I would still like to thank the maintainers of the HOWTO for a 
fine document. It was, and still is, incredibly helpful to those of us who 
love linux, but don't have a clue about programming... :)

Thanks,

Done. Fixed on <A HREF="http://ds9a.nl/2.4Routing,">http://ds9a.nl/2.4Routing,</A> I'll submit an update to the LDP
later this week. Thanks.
