Alternatives to bridge when running via a dynamic IP address

by jeep＠scshome.net

This issue has been dealt with here. The declab.net site runs a dedicated VAX with Multinet that polls the other end at predetermined intervals. When the other ends' address changes this end makes change to the Multinet database and reboots. This software has been in use for well over a year and appears to work very well. It does require the use of DynDNS at the end that changes addresses so that this end can do the lookup. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Mark Wickens Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 17:14 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] Alternatives to bridge when running via a dynamic IP address On 15/09/11 22:03, hvlems at zonnet.nl wrote: Won't the IP address remain unchanged as long as you keep the router up and running?

The 3G network enabled Vigor 2800 router that I will be using at the DEC Legacy event appears to be working reasonably well, but unsurprisingly there does appear to be some fluctuation in the IP address. This means that an alternative to Johnny's bridge program might be called for. I have a dynamic DNS reference set up and now updating periodically, hecnet.no-ip.org, the question is what can I use as an alternative to the bridge program which will cope with IP address changes? I seem to remember Multinet tunnels being mentioned in the past, do they support dnydns, or any other technology? Thanks for the help, Mark. Unfortunately not. I've seen three IP address changes in about the same number of hours. I don't know whether this poor performance is down to the completely haphazard location of the dongle, or whether it's always this rubbish but you don't realise when all you're doing is browsing the internet. My experience of using a 3G dongle for anything other than web browsing is very limited! Regards Mark.

It should happen before disk access across the CI bus is even possible. ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Mark Wickens Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] Satellite configuration/NCP crash Verzonden: 15 september 2011 23:29 On 15/09/11 22:27, Peter Coghlan wrote: Unless youLre running an NI cluster.

After that, one or modes might bugcheck with a CLUEXIT exception. A SSRVEXCEPT exception much more likely indicates something is wrong with the software. Regards, Peter Coghlan. If it helps in the discussion the crash happened very quickly.

In a scsi cluster the cluster traffic is passed across another bus, like FDDI, ethernet (and possibly memory channel). That is the main difference between SCSI and DSSI. Likewise there is mo decnet over scsi as there is decnet over dssi (and the older CI) ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Peter Coghlan Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] Satellite configuration/NCP crash Verzonden: 15 september 2011 23:27 Unless youLre running an NI cluster.

Alternatives to bridge when running via a dynamic IPaddress

Simply put a dongle is not an infrastructure component. There's no friendly neighbour to help you out? Possibly. The alternative is a local company, but they don't have a fixed IP address either. Obviously over an ADSL connection we are more likely to get a reliable IP address. However, the problem with this solution is that configuring NAT was an issue last time - they're router was managed by an external company, which put a spanner in the works at the time... However, it might be worth a try again. Regards, Mark.
