'''NOTE: To operate a [[Gateway]] on [[AMPRNet]], you must have a method of obtaining up-to-date route information.

This Wiki provides operators a straightforward method of configuring your OpenWrt device for use with the ARDC network.


Running the RIP44 protocol

NOTE:

Therefore:

  • You must have access to a binary executable of ampr-ripd that is compatible with the CPU in your OpenWrt device (e.g. i386, i586, x86_64, MIPS, PPC, etc.). If you do not, you must compile ampr-ripd yourself, or install the packages necessary to run rip44d.
  • ampr-ripd (written in C by YO2LOJ) is used in this Wiki example, as fewer prerequisite software are required (e.g. C++ library), compared to rip44d
  • There is also an experimental RIP44.lua daemon which should run with standard packages
  • For information about compiling for OpenWrt devices, see:

Before we begin - assumptions

NOTE - these instructions assume:

  • That you have been assigned AMPRNet IP address allocations that are properly claimed; and your Gateway IP or hostname configured on your account in the Portal
  • While not a requirement, that the allocation is /30 (preferablly /29) or larger - that you have enough usable IPs for: tunl0, AMPRLAN and for downstream client usage
    • NAT is not used on the AMPRLAN side of this example
  • That you have properly enabled DNS PTR records with your AMPRNet regional coordinator - this enables global IP addresses usage
  • That you intend to configure your OpenWrt-based (version 14.07 or greater) AMPRNet Gateway to be a stateful firewall for your AMPRNet allocations (i.e. enabling connection tracking). If you prefer to forward all traffic to your allocated AMPRNet IP addresses, you may follow these instructions; but configure your Firewall Zones to forward all traffic to/from AMPRLAN to AMPRWAN
  • These instructions configure your AMPRNet Tunnel and AMPRNet Local Interfaces in their own policy-based routing scenario; and places all local AMPRNet allocations in the main routing instance (you must provide routing rules for your local AMPR subnets to reach local subnets, if you desire)
  • Since the OpenWrt Kernel is aware that your AMPRNet allocations exist locally (and are populated on the MAIN ROUTING TABLE), you must provide routing rules for AMPRLAN to reach these local subnets, or omit those rules (not permitting your AMPRLAN to route to your local subnets)
  • Lastly, that the user:
    • can navigate the default OpenWrt LuCI web-based graphical user interface locally; and that they are using a device capable of having the packages installed
    • is familiar with the chmod command, and/or
    • familiar with entering OpenWrt UCI (Unified Configuration Interface) commands by serial console or SSH.

Setup and configuration of OpenWrt

Install:

Paste:

  • ampr-ripd to /etc/config/ (always run RIP44 software in console mode FIRST after installation to verify execution and obtain the password, the execution of the file is commented-out below)
  • optional - dynamic firewall script to /etc/config/load_ipipfilter.sh (see the ipset section of the firewall wiki)
  • the following to /etc/rc.local or on web GUI atSystem > Startup > Local Startup:

Enumerating tunnel/VLAN (AMPRWAN/AMPRLAN) Interfaces and firewall zones

REMINDER: In OpenWrt 14.07 or lower - be sure to enable connection tracking if you will not masquerade.

Interfaces

  • Create an unmanaged Interface instance for tunl0 (AMPRWAN) - set to not bring up on boot, adding it to a new own firewall zone amprwan using
    • Input: Drop (or Reject)
    • Output: Drop (or Reject)
    • Forward: Drop (or Reject)
  • Create an interface instance for a new VLAN and bridge (AMPRNET). Assign an IP from your allocation to this interface - this will become the the Default Route/Gateway IP used on other 44 clients in your VLAN - add it to its own new firewall zone using
    • Input: Accept (if you wish for you AMPRLAN devices to reach the router)
    • Output: Accept; and
    • Forward: Drop (or Reject, depending if you have other downstream routers in this VLAN)
  • reboot

General Firewalling

  • Permit forwarding from AMPRLAN to AMPRWAN and WAN (you must masquerade this traffic when using WAN)
  • Permit forwarding from LAN to AMPRLAN (as desired, NOTE: you must make an IP Rule for the AMPRLAN to use the LAN's route on the Main Routing Table)
  • For IPENCAP in - create Traffic Input rule to allow IPv4 IPENCAP (IP protocol type 4) from Any IP on WAN to any IP on Router (or configure optional dynamic script above, see Firewalls - OpenWrt)
    • specify WAN IP instead of Any - if statically assigned by ISP
  • For RIP44 packets in - create Traffic Input rule to allow IPv4 udp/520 from 44.0.0.1 in AMPRWAN to 224.0.0.9 at port udp/520 IP on Router
  • Create Traffic Forward rules for any inbound services (as desired)
  • assign the new VLAN to any switch/trunk ports (as desired)
  • make ampr-ripd and load_ipipfilter.sh executable using chmod +x

Lastly

  • test ampr-ripd in console using the -d argument
  • add password to the Local Startup entry and uncomment ampr-ripd line
  • reboot
