Advertising IPv6 Routes Between IPv4 BGP Peers (Cisco)

Situation:
  
I want to advertise IPv6 networks / prefixes over IPv4 eBGP session
History:
  
Although not common, this case may occur in some situations. 

  For example, in this moment, I have a Cisco router with IPv6 support (routing) but do not support BGP IPv6 neighbors
Error (just in case):
  (Probably you are receiving the message below) 
    :)

*Mar  1 02:05:00.663: BGP: 1.1.1.1 Advertised Nexthop ::FFFF:1.1.1.1: Non-local or Nexthop and peer Not on same interface
*Mar  1 02:05:00.663: BGP(1): 1.1.1.1 rcv UPDATE w/ attr: nexthop ::FFFF:1.1.1.1, origin i, metric 0, originator 0.0.0.0, path 1, community , extended community
*Mar  1 02:05:00.667: BGP(1): 1.1.1.1 rcv UPDATE about 2001:db8::/32 -- DENIED due to:
*Mar  1 02:05:00.667: BGP(0): Revise route installing 1 of 1 route for 10.0.0.0/24 -> 1.1.1.1 to main IP table
*Mar  1 02:05:00.771: BGP(0): 1.1.1.1 computing updates, afi 0, neighbor version 0, table version 25, starting at 0.0.0.0


 
Solution:
  
Fortunately BGP support carrying routing information for different protocols (ie. IPv6). Therefore it is possible to exchange prefixes IPv6 over eBGP IPv4 sessions.
Configuration:
  
In this basic scenario with R1 <--> R2 connected back-to-back the configuration is as follows (the prefix announced by R1 is learned by R2).

R1:
!
 interface Ethernet1/0
 ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.252
 full-duplex
 ipv6 address 2001:db8::1/64
 ipv6 enable
!
router bgp 1
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 1.1.1.1
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 neighbor 1.1.1.2 remote-as 2
 neighbor 1.1.1.2 ebgp-multihop 2
 no auto-summary
 !
 address-family ipv6
 neighbor 1.1.1.2 activate
 network 2001:db8::/32
 no synchronization
 redistribute static
 exit-address-family
!
ipv6 route 2001:db8::/32 Null0

R2:
!
 interface Ethernet1/0
 ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.252
 full-duplex
 ipv6 address 2001:db8::2/64
 ipv6 enable
!
router bgp 2
 no synchronization
 bgp router-id 1.1.1.2
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 1
 neighbor 1.1.1.1 ebgp-multihop 2
 no auto-summary
 !
 address-family ipv6
 neighbor 1.1.1.1 activate
 neighbor 1.1.1.1 route-map IPv6-NextHop in
 exit-address-family
!
route-map IPv6-NextHop permit 10
 set ipv6 next-hop 2001:db8::1
!

"The trick":
  
* The session must be eBGP multihop, if not, R2 will not learn the prefix (the same error as seen above). I admit I do not get 100% why it happens however after readings some documents it looks like the router complains that the next-hop IP address and the way it was configured are in different subnet (make sense, one is IPv6 and IPv4 another!).
  
* In R2 (who receive the prefix) there must be a route-map applied (in) forcing the next-hop IPv6 address of R1
After applying ebgp-multihop (everything works):
* Mar 1 02:01:42.539: BGP (1): 1.1.1.1 rcvd UPDATE w / attr: nexthop :: FFFF: 1.1.1.1, origin i, metric 0, path 1* Mar 1 02:01:42.539: BGP (1): 1.1.1.1 rcvd 2800:26 :: / 32* Mar 1 02:01:42.543: BGP (0): Check route installing 1 of 1 route for 10.0.0.0/24 -> 1.1.1.1 to main IP table* Mar 1 02:01:42.543: BGP (1): Check for installing route 2001: db8 :: / 32 -> 2001: db8 :: 1 (::) to main IPv6 tableMore information:- https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-21110- http://ieoc.com/forums/p/15154/130174.aspx- http://ieoc.com/forums/p/15154/130174.aspx

Installing Linux in a Sun Fire Server

Introduction:
The following describes the procedure for installing the operating system Debian GNU / Linux on a Sun Fire V210 Hardware. 


First:
* As we know, this has not Hardware Out Video Card VGA or PS2 port for Keyboard. What if it has a serial port for Management.  
* This server is  64-bit SPARC architecture.

Procedure:

1. - Download Image.
You can download the distro from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.3/sparc/iso-cd/
You will need least CD number 1
Then downloaded ISO: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.3/sparc/iso-cd/debian-6.0.3-sparc-CD-1.iso


Please remember to burn the image a low speed, it's good to avoid some drawbacks.



2.- Place the Debian CD image to the CD / DVD ROM Server.
3. - Now, we must establish a connection via Serial COM with the Sun Fire V210 server.
We can use Hyperterminal, Minicom or even PuTTYtel.

To create the serial connection you will need the following parameters:
 9600,8, n, 1 (Default). 

The cable is a cable type used Rollover (NOT crossover). Typically console cables Cisco equipment will work.

3. - Start the server. The challenge is to make Boot from CDROM drive.
To do this, do the following: When the server is starting, we pressed Sequence 'STOP + A'.
In a conventional keyboard, this sequence is the same as 'CTRL + SHIFT + BREAK' or 'CTRL + BREAK'.
In doing so, you will get PROMPT {} Ok, when that happens we do the following:
{} Ok printenv auto-boot (To see the State Flag of the auto-boot)
{} Ok setenv auto-boot false (for setting the auto-boot Flag False)
{} Ok reset-all (Reboot the System)
4. - When the computer restarts, return to Press 'STOP + A', and at the prompt {} Ok we do isinstructed to do Boot from CDROM, so:{} Ok boot cdrom 

4.- From that moment, the server should begin to start from the CDROM drive. I recommend to use the terminal in Full Screen mode to see the installation as if it were a monitor connected to the server.

5.- From this point, it follows exactly the Debian installation procedure (Users, Partitions, Repositories, etc..)
Key Points:- Download the ISO image for SPARC 64.- The sequence 'STOP + A', which can be also 'CTRL + BRAK' or 'CTRL + SHIFT + BREAK'.- Place the screen in full screen.- If at any time the connection is lost Serial (usual with PuTTYtel), simply close and reopen theSerial Connection and type any key to recover the installation.- The system boots from the CDROM cuandl being the PROMPT {} Ok you type 'boot cdrom (Very Important ...!)
- To start the server automatically is necessary in ok prompt type the following:

auto-boot? = trueboot-device = disk

Error 1017 in Cacti. MySQL. Blank Graphics

Error:
4/7/2012 5:37:49 PM - CMDPHP: Poller [0] ERROR: SQL Cell Failed!, Error: '1017 ', SQL: "SELECT count (*) FROM polle
WHERE r_time poller_id = 0 AND end_time> '0000-00-00 00:00:00 '"

4/7/2012 5:38:34 PM - CMDPHP: Poller [0] ERROR: SQL Cell Failed!, Error: '1017 ', SQL: "SELECT count (*) FROM polle
r_time WHERE end_time = '0000-00-00 00:00:00 '"

Procedure:
If the file cacti.log you see the above error tt indicates a failure with poller_output mysql table.
In this respect, I have seem three different solutions, order from the less risky to the highest.

1) Repair mysql table with a php script that brings cacti

# php $PATH-TO-CACTI/cli/repair_database.php

2) Repair the table with mysql command:

# mysql> REPAIR TABLE poller_output;

If you do not know the user information for the mysql database, it can be found here:

$PATH-TO-CACTI/include/config.php


3) Remove the table and do it again (this solution despite being aggressive works perfectly and you do not lose the historic Cacti information). Just enters the mysql CLI and copy/paste the following:

-
- Table structure for table `poller_output`
-
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `poller_output`;
CREATE TABLE `poller_output` (
MEDIUMINT local_data_id `` (8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0 ',
Rrd_name `` varchar (19) NOT NULL default'',
`Time` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00 ',
`Output` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`local_data_id`, `rrd_name`, `time`)
) TYPE = MyISAM;
-
- Dumping data for table `poller_output`
-
Poller_output `LOCK TABLES` WRITE;
/ *! 40000 ALTER TABLE `poller_output` DISABLE KEYS * /;
/ *! 40000 ALTER TABLE `poller_output` ENABLE KEYS * /;
UNLOCK TABLES;


Ready!, Then you can wait for the poller runs 15 minutes and you will have something in your graphs. If you want to force the poller command is as follows:

# /usr/bin/php-q /var /www/miServer-cacti/poller.php  -force

I hope it will be useful,

Devede. One solutions for two different errors


Situation: 

1) When creating a .iso image using Devede and creating  subtitles  in Spanish DeVeDe returns the error: "Failed to write to the destination directory. Check That You have privileges and free space there". 

2) When you create a .iso using Devede and creating subtitles in Spanish Devede returns the error: "conversion failed. It Seems a bug of spumux" 
Solution:
The problem is due to the subtitle file format, it must be a .srt and UTF-8 encoding
That is, the solution is to have the .srt with UTF-8 encoding. To do that you can use Microsoft Word, and follow the following procedure:

a) Open the subtitle file .srt with Microsoft Word
b) File -> Save As -> select Plain Text (. txt)
c) Click on save
d) A new window appears, select the option "Other encoding"
e) Select UTF-8 from the list on the right side.

Done!, re-create the ISO using Devede.
