Re: Backup packet IP access

 

Oh wow John - what a brilliant idea. So just make sure there's a Telnet server running on the RPi and then connect out on port 2? What a cool idea. Now, is there any way this can be restricted to SYSOPs? Or is the only protection the telnet password?
I might be interested in seeing about IP access later on, but this is brilliant for now!
Thanks again?

Are you looking for access to the Linux shell, or do you actually need IP access? Both are possible, but shell access is much simpler. You just need to connect to the node and then to connect to a telnet server on the Pi . Something like (With BPQ Telnet Server on port 2 and Linux Telnet server on port 2173):

att 2 127.0.0.1 2173 REALTELNET pi

*** Connected to Server


Linux 6.1.0-rpi4-rpi-v8 (pi5-64) (pts/0)


pi5-64 login: pi

Password: xxxxxxx


Linux pi5-64 6.1.0-rpi4-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.54-1+rpt2 (2023-10-05) aarch64

I should add, I'd want to do it on the same port as 'normal' packet?

Re: Link partners wanted¡­

 

Hi Jim,

Also I have reached out to you via PM here. When you get it or not let me know either way. Happy to accommodate. You can email me at my mail on QRZ, if you have a path to me via packet or I think you've even logged in on HF over RF ports before. In Arkansas here.

Re: IPGATEWAY ax.25 rf only

 

Now trying to ping the bbs from a pi5 bookworm 64bit... direwolf /? tncattach with setup for ip with 10.0.0.10/24 and bbs with 10.0.0.1/24.
?
pi desktop pings out rf interface correctly,? no response from bbs. While logged into bbs remotely I ping from within linbpq and bbs will ping out on port 1... neither will answer.
?
I know not alot of info here, mainly giving setup... Coming from networking engineering side of life I know what to expect from a eithernet response.?
?
Trying to take in consideration the time delay of 1k2 rf ;) I wonder if my expectations are invalid ?. Or how Linbpq responds on that port. Does linbpq respond to pings, I can ping out from the term of bbs and radio will keyup and I can see it then on the direwolf screen..of other packet unit.
?
Any ideas
?

Re: IPGATEWAY ax.25 rf only

 

that was the last part of the puzzle...thx you for the help and everyone else too.? it's working


Re: IPGATEWAY ax.25 rf only

 

sudo setcap "CAP_NET_ADMIN=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep" linbpq

I think you may be missing the above command from the linbpq documentation. The above assumes you have renamed the pilinbpq binary to linbpq.?

If that's not it, then are you sure the adapter name is still eth0?

Re: IPGATEWAY ax.25 rf only

 

When you comment out the IPGATEWAY statement it may render the others unrecognized, thus the error.? Use a multi-line comment when commenting out the IPGATEWAY section:
?
/*
IPGATEWAY
Adapter eth0
44ENCAP 100.64.1.223
IPAddr 10.0.0.1
IPNetmask 255.255.255.0
IPPorts 2
ARP 10.0.0.10 KD6MTU-2 2 D
NONODEFAULTROUTE
****
*/
?
?
But, I think perhaps you may have luck if you reduce the section to it's most simple form:
?
IPGATEWAY
Adapter eth0
44ENCAP 100.64.1.223
IPAddr 10.0.0.1
IPNetmask 255.255.255.0
IPPorts 4
****
?
?
If this works then you can start adjusting.? If it does not show us the errors it produces.? It may be in the IP addresses used, or perhaps something else..

Re: IPGATEWAY ax.25 rf only

 

Good day.

Here is the full configuration example on the BPQ website.? Note there are 4 asterisks at the end to mark where the IPGateway feature ends.? There are several BPQ features that use this methodology. I think you are missing that last line perhaps because it was not in my previous message.

IPGATEWAY

IPPorts 1,3,7                # BPQ Ports to be used for links to IP systems. List of ports, separated by commas

NAT 44.131.56.2 192.168.x.x	 # 192.168.x.x is the LAN address of another PC that I want to have access to AMPRNET

Re: IPGATEWAY ax.25 rf only

 

I think I understand what you are trying to do. Even if you are not using tunnels, etc. and only need to run IP over ax25 via a radio, you still need to run the "full fledged" IPGATEWAY feature. You just won't be using all of it. In other words, you still need to enable the tunnel or tap and RIP even if they are not used.
?
Using the BPQ documentation as a baseline, first I don't know if you are using Windows or Linux, so I'm leaving both options available. If Windows, you need to ID the Ethernet adapter using the bpq adapters executable that comes with the Windows version of BPQ.
?
?
I believe the above is probably the answer !... I misunderstood John wiseman? in his saying to ignore the encap and statements for the nat ...will try it again with full statements this time... Well after I track down what ever I broke in my forwarding to other bbs...I guess if you play to much murphy will get you :)
?
Using 32bit raspberry os pi4 ... I am at the point of needing to start fresh again with the BBS. Have a ardop hf port but don't have the radio hooked up yet.. I moved this year to far northern central Nevada this year and am trying to put it all back together. It is completely solar powered with the internet portion of it through starlink. That in itself is enough to pull your hair out LOL.. Thxs to Mark for the work around to that issue well as long as I don't break it :(...will update as soon as I get my mess cleaned up

Hi Mark,

its not in the port conf section...Linbpq on a pi4....

At the moment the only solution is to turn on "Don't check from call" in the main bbs config. The next version will include SERVIC as a valid from call.
