Haven't gotten around to trying yet, still getting all my VMs up
and running.
Ok, keep us posted. I'll poke at it myself as well.
I had a quick look in to this today and started setting up a lab, but
got distracted by real work. From what I can see though, you can't
execute any interface configuration commands. So, it would have to be
a complete copy of the config from FTP to NVRAM followed by a reboot.
Personally, I'd be a bit uneasy about downloading a random config
periodically and just loading it on to my router. If it was going to
be a mesh I'd rather get an update with the details of endpoints, etc.
and do it myself.

Hi, Wolfgang.

Hi All,
I requested access to HECNET some moons ago. Due to family Business
and heavy Workload in my Day-Job I had to pause this project for a
while.
Now as things settled I am back with my SimH/Vax (running 24/7 on a
raspberry pi) and my Alpha (an Alphastation 255 I newly aquired).
There are Decstations in Storage too (these odd MIPS Boxes) - maybe
one of these could be connected too - provided there's DECNet Support
in Ultrix.
There is. You just need to find the distribution.
What I'm asking for are three Node-Numbers (I don't need a whole area
- NodeNames would be MINE, EMMA and JACK) and a bit of advice with
Multinet. I have only a Dynamic IP uplink and am absolutely
unexperienced with Multinet.
You need to figure out who to connect to first, then we can fix the node numbers. I have a terribly short memory. Who was it that could handle Multinet with dynamic IP? Steve?
Care to help out? Also, Wolfgang, do you want to set a level 1 router, or do you just epxect all your machines to be endnodes, and have each on have their own link?
Best Regards,
Wolfgang
PS: This may be double posted. First submission was from a wrong email adress.
That would have been caught by filters and never showed up.

Ok, I'm motivated. Let's get this automated.
I've got a small bit of python I wrote to generate cisco configs for the
tunnels.
If you are interested in getting auto-generated tunnel configs please
send me the following information:
1) The email address you want new configs sent to
2) Your routers public IP address(es)
3) The source interface(s) for your tunnels in full interface text. re:
FastEthernet0/1
4) The cost you want your tunnels to be if you don't want them to be 10.
Once you've gotten your first config text from me delete all your
current HECnet tunnels and then apply the config text you'll have been
emailed.
Unless anyone objects, I'm starting tunnel indexes at 50.
Steve D. -- if you want a router let me know. I'm going to eventually
get off my ass and migrate to this 2851 which will free up the 1841. I'm
more than happy to loan it to you as long as I have no need for it.
(Which I doubt I ever will)
The one question I have for everyone is.... Do we do a full mesh or do
we choose 1-3 "hubs" to connect everyone to? If 20 people have cisco's
and we do a mesh that's 20 tunnels, FYI. I'm ok with that, but I want to
get an idea of what everyone else thinks.

Do you have any idea if the mesh would create lots of traffic?
I mean that if there are 20 Area Routers exchanging hellos all the time and route updates every now and then, how much bandwidth would that need?
I think many participants have e.g. an ADSL connection with 1Mbit/s or something like it. Would the continuous routing traffic cut a significant slice of the bandwidth?
Anyway, the mesh idea sounds good. I vote for it. I think it has benefits like better availability in case of power outages or HW failures and better distributed traffic between the various areas.

Will do. Gotta figure out why I have high packet loss to it first.
Bah. It seems I somehow broke something and I don't know what my secret is what's the quickest way to reset it?
Editing the NVRAM file by hand, it seems. ;)

Now, dynamic IP handling: I was thinking a script that would:
1). Periodically ping the hostname
2). If it stops responding to ping, update the destination hostname for the tunnel (as the tunnel resolves hostnames right then and there, correct?) (perhaps a simple database of the current IP for the tunnel would be better?)
I think we need to get this working natively in IOS somehow. I don't want to generate a new config if someone's IP changes, although I *could* if I needed to.
I thought IOS supported CRON and scripting?
Assuming it doesn't happen all the time I guess that's not so bad, really.
