(usr-tc) Netserver 3.7.24 and RIP
Hello, I'm trying to establish RIP routing between my USR TC with a Netserver running 3.7.24 and my cisco 3640 (so I can redistribute it OSPF and have the routes propogate throughout my network.) However, it doesn't seem to be working. I have very limited documentation, as I inherited the USR from an ISP we acquired. Does anybody have any suggestions as to settings to check, and/or ways to debug this?

Well...I would highly suggest that you want to run RIPv2 rather than plain ol' RIP...I believe that's the default, but check it with the command "set ripv2 on". Then make sure that the NETServer is set to broadcast routes with either "set routing on" or "set routing broadcast". I seem to remember some issues with the NETServers misunderstanding each other's routes, so you may be better off just letting the NETServers blast out the routes with RIP and not listen for routes from others (the set routing broadcast command), and let the Cisco handle the intelligence of the routing. There just aren't that many settings for routing on a NETServer, so other than that, it should be a matter of configuring your 3640 correctly...something like: router rip version 2 network <network address of the ethernet port> should do it. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Hmmm....when I first saw this, I was excited, because I hadn't seen the set ripv2 command before. But it still wasn't working. It took a reboot to get rip v2 to kick in :> So, excellent advice, thank you _very_ much. I wish the command set was either better documented in the ComOS or on the totalservice.usr.com page, but from the sounds of the list (I just joined today, and for some reason got flooded with all of the list mail for the day) command documentation is the least of the problems facing USR owners :> Andy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Andy Dills 301-682-9972 Network Administrator Fax 301-695-4060 Xecunet, LLC www.xecu.net xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dialup * Webhosting * E-Commerce * High-Speed Access - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Cool...glad I still remember it. :)

Well, you should also be aware that the NETServers are basically unsupported from 3Com at this point. 3Com lost access to the source code for the NETServers when their licensing deal with Livingston/Lucent expired in Dec. of 1998. They no longer have source code so really can't provide support for those cards anymore. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

Not at all. Jeff and Brian know all of the commands, stored in some sort of database in their brains. With them on the list, none of us need to read or remember anything. *cackle* *grin* *ducking* - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

On the TC: set net0 routing on # broadcast and listen to RIP set ripv2 on # use RIPv2 set enh_routing on # used enhanced routing on the Cisco: router rip version 2 timers basic 30 30 2 60 300 network x.x.x.x # network your tc/cisco is on no auto-summary or if you are redistributing into OSPF: router ospf 10 redistribute connected subnets redistribute static subnets redistribute rip subnets network 208.206.76.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 ! router rip version 2 timers basic 30 30 2 60 300 network 208.206.76.0 no auto-summary notes: I also usually set all my interfaces under my cisco rip config to "passive-interface f3/0" etc..................
Thanks, Andy
