Re: Unidentified node appeared on AXIP


 

That's why you should always know your linking partner, what their software
is, what their capabilities are and making sure that a solid AXIP connection
exists between both of you. The OSI 7 layer model teaches us what takes
precedence, namely physical layer, data link layer, network layer, etc
way before the application layer (last).



Each of us needs to understand this and not delegate it to someone upstream.
You also need to think about your own connectivity, access and security.
Especially since we are supposed to be a closed system of amateur radio
networking.

That being the case, we have a serious security problem. With AUTOADDMAP active, unknown non ham entities can? gain access to what's supposed to be a closed network. It's like opening the border. Anyone and everyone will be able to waltz in unhindered. That was recently experienced here when I made the mistake of activating AUTOADDMAP. What was reportedly some sort of European CB type node gained direct access to my system, and I to theirs. That is a non starter and will not end well if left uncontrolled.? It's advisable to NOT enable AUTOADDMAP.
My system seems to (mostly)? work just fine without it.
However, in consideration of the above, I wonder if not running AUTOADDMAP could be the reason for some AXIP/BBS partners using DDNS.NET not being accessible? I've lost at least two AXIP/BBS partners who utilize DDNS.NET in that they are simply not reachable. They may resolve to an IP address but just don't respond. There's no route.? It's been reported that they see me on their end, but there is no connectivity. A route to them never or rarely appears on my end. If a route appears, it is dead/unresponsive. They have my correct MAP information entered on their end, and I theirs. My solution was to dump DDNS.NET and replace it with DYNU/FREEDDNS.ORG. That works well for me. DDNS.NET must be eliminated on both ends just to be sure.

If you are talking about AUTOADDMAP that is not needed.

Hi, John:
Thanks.
I want to get you and Matt KB8UVN chatting about this.
When I commented my AUTOADDMAP, I lost all links.
When I re-enabled AUTOADDMAP I got my links back.
I will send you a copy of Matt's recent email to me
containing an explanation of the protocol in use.
vy73, Chuck
