Hi-
I am trying to use the RISCom/N2 driver that comes with the
2.2.7 distribution. The driver configures the serial card as an
SPPP network interface. I have two PC's with RISCom cards
and I am simply trying to make a connection between the two
machines. I have done the proper ifconfig and route configuration
calls (I think) and I get the following when I do an ifconfig -a
and a netstat -r:
(I've excluded the actual IP /ethernet addresses...)
machin1# ifconfig -a
ep0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xx.xx.xx.26 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xx.xx.xx.255
ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
sr0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xx.xx.xx.26 --> xx.xx.xx.176 netmask 0xffffffff
sr1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
machine1# netstat -r
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif
Expire
default default-gateway UGSc 1 0 ep0
localhost localhost UH 0 4 lo0
xx.xx.xx/24 link#1 UC 0 0
machine1 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx UHLW 0 38 lo0
machine2 sr0 UHS 0 8 sr0
When I attempt to ping between the machines, I get:
machine1# ping machine2
PING machine2 (xx.xx.xx.176): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is down
ping: sendto: Network is down
I configured machine2 to speak to machine 1 via
its own sr0 interface as well.
Do you know what I might be missing in my understanding
of how SPPP is used to configure and support the RISCom/N2
card? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
