Note that the procedure for changing proxy arp machines remains the same, as described below. However, tyagi now proxy arps for 152.2 and skipper161 still proxy arps for 152.19, but the hardware has changed (from a 400MHz PII to a 200MHz pentium)
11/6/98 : created by David Ott
Here's a quick set of notes from when we changed the DiRT network ARP
proxy machine from sam to yako137 on 11/6/98. (Later we changed yako137's
name to sam and took the old sam offline.)
# Load in the arp tables for proxy arp - BEGIN /sbin/ifconfig xl0 down /usr/sbin/arp -f /etc/arp.generic.table /usr/sbin/arp -f /etc/arp.topsecret.table /sbin/ifconfig xl0 up # Load in the arp tables for proxy arp - END
Note that if the network card on topsecret ever changes in the future, the table files will need to be revised.
Also note that sam proxy arps for the 152.2 net and skipper161 proxy arps for the 152.19 net.
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 14:42:29 -0400 (EDT) From: David OttTo: dirt@cs.unc.edu Subject: skipper161 The old skipper (152.2.137.20) has now been renamed to skipper161 (152.19.161.20). The reason has to do with the proxy arp problem we've run into before. Sam, which normally proxy arps for the experimental and test/development networks, is unable to load 152.19.* entries in /etc/arp.goldberg.table because of its IP address (152.2) and netmask (255.255). That means we can't get to 152.19.160 machines on the test/development networks from outside. To solve the problem, we have changed skipper to be a 152.19 machine (which is still on the department network) and configured it to proxy arp for the 152.19.160 block of test/development machines. Seems to work okay, but let me know of any problems. -d
