Topic: ipp2p on SME8

[gdbs]

Is anyone here want to test ipp2p contrib on sme8?

I cannot test it so i'd like to get your return on it

First install ipp2p:

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh http://jeremielorente.free.fr/linux/sme/8/contribs/ipp2p/i686/ipp2p-0.8.2-1.i686.rpm
then the kmod according to your arch:

i686:

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh http://jeremielorente.free.fr/linux/sme/8/contribs/ipp2p/i686/kmod-ipp2p-0.8.2-1.2.6.18_308.8.1.el5.i686.rpmi686-PAE:

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh http://jeremielorente.free.fr/linux/sme/8/contribs/ipp2p/i686/kmod-ipp2p-PAE-0.8.2-1.2.6.18_308.8.1.el5.i686.rpmXEN:

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh  http://jeremielorente.free.fr/linux/sme/8/contribs/ipp2p/i686/kmod-ipp2p-xen-0.8.2-1.2.6.18_308.8.1.el5.i686.rpm
install smeserver package:

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh http://jeremielorente.free.fr/linux/sme/8/contribs/ipp2p/noarch/smeserver-ipp2p-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
Enabling:

Code: [Select]

config setprop ipp2p apple enabled
config setprop ipp2p bit enabled
config setprop ipp2p ares enabled
config setprop ipp2p ipp2p enabled
config setprop ipp2p soul enabled
config setprop ipp2p winmx enabled
check:

Code: [Select]

config show ipp2p
apply changes and restart server:

Code: [Select]

signal-event remoteaccess-update; signal-event reboot
Let me know if everything is ok

src are here (if anyone could compile it and test on x64 arch.... thx):

I will, but I must ask:
If i have a static IP setup with my ISP, then I technically have another static IP setup for the gateway itself correct?
Can I usde that for my test SME server? Then I can help in testing by setting up that server to be accessible to devs and myself.
How would I set the other connection? Would I set it as dynamic in SME configuration since static will require the gateway IP as well?

sorry i don't understand what you want to do.... maybe if you draw it...

[newburns]

                                     Comcast Modem (One Static IP Purchased)
                                           /                              \
                           SME 8 Production Server          SME 8 Test Server
                         |Setup in Gateway/Server|        |Setup in Gateway/Server|
                         |mode using Static IP      |        |mode using modem IP     |
                                                                     |dynamically                   |

I heard before, that if you have purchased a static IP, you can use the static and still have connection "dynamically" through the modem's static. The only reason is to be able to have SSH connection to the test server. I know I can port forward, but I want to also do test while the server is in Gateway/Server mode. I am trying to test new contribs, multiple PXE images to learn PXE booting, anad VPN solutions to learn how VPN's work. The PPTP is not very reliable for me on my production server.

Hi gdbs,

Thanks for your work. But I still can test it, because I have a different kernel version installed.

I currently have the stock kernel : 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5

If I upgrade through yum, I will have 2.6.18-308.16.1.el5, so isn't usefull too.

It's possible for you to build a kmod for different kernel versions?

Thanks in advance, I will try to test it asap, let me know if you need help to advance on this topic.

Regards,

[Franco]

I currently have the stock kernel : 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5

...and I am on 2.6.18-308.13.1.el5

You can ssh into your gateway sme server and then at the command prompt ssh to other sme servers on the LAN. Check ssh command syntax eg in it's most basic form:
ssh serverIP

There was an external howto published many years ago, probably around sme6 era, that allowed you to setup & connect a test sme server in "server & gateway mode" behind an Internet connected main sme server in server and gateway mode. This allowed full testing in server gateway mode, I think it would be applicable to any sme version.

Do some searching or maybe someone else has a link to it. I'm sure I still saw it online about a year ago. Somewhere I have the details, if I find it I will post it here.

This howto may help

I assume it should work, or could be made to work, with more recent sme server releases.

Hey newburns

Did you ever try this howto
