From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Miroslav Skoric Subject: Link Win/BPQ32 >< Lin/FPAC Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:37:46 +0100 Message-ID: <4F5CAAAA.3030605@eunet.rs> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-hams-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: linux-hams@vger.kernel.org Hi all, I have three BPQ32 machines in the home LAN and they talk each other by using bpqether ports. One machine has two network cards and the other two have one card each, so the box with two cards interconnect all three boxes in a 'chain': _____________ ______________ ______________ VHF | BPQ32 4.10f | | BPQ32 4.10f | | BPQ32 4.10f | TRX-TNC2-| | -- | FPAC 3.28.18 |--| | ant |____________| |______________| |_____________| (1) (2) (3) 192.168.1.2 <--> 192.168.1.1 192.168.0.1 <--> 192.168.0.2 All comps are dual-boot. The box with two NICs is dual-boot with Debian 6.0.4 and I put FPAC 3.28.18 there. I managed to force FPAC talking via bpq0 (eth0) to the BPQ32 comps. Although the three nodes communicate each-other, I discovered an annoying traffic of FPAC filling up the BPQ32 monitoring screen: In fact, it sends the rows bellow continually to the box (3), on the right in the Fig. above: 12:52:53R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.0.2? Tell 192.168.0.1 12:52:54R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.0.2? Tell 192.168.0.1 12:52:55R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.0.2? Tell 192.168.0.1 12:52:57R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.0.2? Tell 192.168.0.1 12:52:58R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.0.2? Tell 192.168.0.1 ... and the similar traffic it sends to the box (1), on the left in the Fig. above: 12:52:59R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.1.2? Tell 192.168.1.1 12:53:01R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.1.2? Tell 192.168.1.1 12:53:02R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.1.2? Tell 192.168.1.1 12:53:03R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 Who Has 192.168.1.2? Tell 192.168.1.1 ...etc ... To locate the issue, I reboot the box in the middle to Win/BPQ32 again, and the production of those funny lines stops. Any idea? By the way, ifconfig returns the following: root@localhost:/home/misko# ifconfig ax0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr YT7MPB-15 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:255 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) bpq0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr YT7MPB-15 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING MTU:256 Metric:1 RX packets:95 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2477 (2.4 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) bpq1 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr YT7MPB-14 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING MTU:256 Metric:1 RX packets:71 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2336 (2.2 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 94:0c:6d:80:4d:83 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::960c:6dff:fe80:4d83/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2547 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2550 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:198452 (193.8 KiB) TX bytes:164246 (160.3 KiB) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe800 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4b:2e:da:df inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:4bff:fe2e:dadf/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1446 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2532 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:117209 (114.4 KiB) TX bytes:160870 (157.0 KiB) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B) nr0 Link encap:AMPR NET/ROM HWaddr YT7MPB-3 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:235 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) nr1 Link encap:AMPR NET/ROM HWaddr YT7MPB-4 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:235 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) nr2 Link encap:AMPR NET/ROM HWaddr YT7MPB-3 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:235 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) nr3 Link encap:AMPR NET/ROM HWaddr YT7MPB-4 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:235 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) rose0 Link encap:AMPR ROSE HWaddr 2200210000 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:251 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) root@localhost:/home/misko# Misko
