Unfortunately not; the only thing that is particularly different about the PM3 (and PM2) is that ALL networks in an area have to be specified in explicit ranges in order to be recognized; on Cisco, Bay, and gated they (normally) don't. I just followed the "procedure" in chap 11 of the Livingston manual (and usually have to access their web site each time I do this - we don't have a current printed manual). With a PM3 make sure you have recent firmware :-) (2 of ours have the V.90 beta 3.8b15, the other is 3.7.2c3; 3.7.2 had problems with some cheap V.34 modems which c3 helped some). Note that ospf didn't work (though was present) before 3.5. That shouldn't affect you with a PM3 since they need >=3.7 anyhow. You have to "set ospf enable", "save all", and reboot before any other ospf commands will have any effect... (you may also want to enable snmp before the above "save all"; I usually do). I then "add ospf area 0.0.0.0", and various: set ospf area 0.0.0.0 password vvvvvvvv set ospf area 0.0.0.0 range xxx.yyy.zzz.0/19 (set more ranges as needed) set ospf area external set ether0 ospf on set ether0 rip off set user-netmask on save all reboot yet again (may not be needed) I don't remember exactly all the steps. Making this useful needs the set user-netmask thing; then subnet routes via radius work. It is a bad idea to run both rip and ospf, though you could if desperate. (a *very* bad idea if you are routing subnets via the segment in question) 3.8 has improved the output from most commands; the show and help are finally fairly complete. Both Bay (all versions so far) and our older Cisco code (10.3) don't have "NSSA" support; I think the gated I run doesn't either. So, I don't use it in the PM either. Remember that the hello and dead intervals must match on all routers talking on a segment; this has bit me several times and makes the mismatched one refuse to talk to the rest. I think the PM and cisco defaults match. -- Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
