Hello all!
I am trying to test up decnet iv on a rsts/e 10.1 system on simh and
hopefully connect to hecnet. Currently borrowing a node name/number
from Peter L.
Is the following setup workable/suitable?
rsts/e --> delqua --> virtual tap ethernet --> pydecnet -->
real-ethernet --> GRE tunnel.
Anyone who has done this and willing to share the setup used?
Or any good links?
I have not found a decnet-iv manual for rsts/e online, but maybe the
rsx manuals are usable. Anyone know?
Best regards,
Thord.
Hi Thord,
I have a slightly different setup, that is working well:
*** On one Raspberry Pi with simh v4.0, I am running DECnet/E V4.1 on
RSTS 10.1. Node PIRSTS::
The Pi's physical Ethernet eth0 is bridged with a tap device on br0 for
outside access.
The tap device is assigned to simh's DELQA (set xq type=DELQA; att XQ tap0)
*** On another Raspberry, pydecnet is configured, also on a bridged tap
device, to connect to the HECnet in area 29 (node ONAPI4::)
in the pydecnet config file are two circuits:
circuit TAP-1 Ethernet --cost 1 tap:tap1 --random-address
circuit MUL-29 Multinet --cost 2 xx.yy.zz.aa:portx:connect
This last line connects me to the HECnet IP-node that expects a
connection. This is something that you have to agree with your "HECnet
partner".
Note that I am not using (lib)pcap on any of my simh nodes. bridging the
physical Ethernet with a tap device makes this unnecessary.
