== Setting up a gateway on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter ==

EdgeRouter is a low cost professional grade router made by Ubiquiti.
All routers in the product family such as EdgeRouter X, EdgeRouter Lite and EdgeRouter PoE run the EdgeOS router operating system.
EdgeOS seems to be an OEM version of Vyatta (now Brocade) and Vyos (an open source version).
The commands are almost identical so with little adjustments this guide could serve the different variant.

EdgeRouter is appealing to anyone interested in setting up a gateway to AMPRNet due to the built in support for the IPIP tunneling protocol.
This guide was created based on my experience with setting up a gateway to AMPRNet using the EdgeRouter PoE model.
I haven't tested it on other models, but since they all use the same OS, it should work with minimal adjustment if any.

This guide covers only one tunnel to the master AMPRnet gateway at UCSD. This guide doesn't cover the automatic setup of tunnels to other gateways.

== Assumptions / Prereqs ==

• You have already registered with AMPRNet and got your 44.0.0.0/9 or 44.128.0.0/10 allocation and it is showing in the encap.txt file
• You have registered some hosts in the AMPRNet DNS like <your call sign>.ampr.org
• Your EdgeRouter is upgraded to the latest EdgeOS (currently version v2.0.6)
• You have a standard working NAT setup
• Interface eth0 is your connection to your ISP
• Interface eth1 is your home LAN where your computers are connected

You have successfully setup the EdgeRouter and it is connected to the internet and providing service to your home computers

== The plan ==

We will use eth2 as our AMPRNet LAN where computers and other devices with assigned AMPRNet address will connect via an IPIP tunnel to the UCSD AMPRNet gateway and the internet.

== Warning!! ==

The author does not assume responsibility if you mess up/brick your router. Please make sure to back up your EdgeRouter configuration prior to any change.
Also make sure you know how to restore your configuration and you know how to restore your router to factory defaults if everything else fails.

== Initial setup ==

Open the CLI using the GUI button or connect using an ssh client such as PuTTY to 192.196.2.1.

The default username/password is ubnt/ubnt unless you have already changed it.

'''You need to establish a Gateway for your 44 network, that the clients will route through.'''

As I write this, my 44net allocation is 44.131.252.64/28

My Gateway will be the next IP in the block. 44.131.252.65

Enter configuration mode
• ubnt@ubnt:~$ configure
Set the AMPRNet network assignment you have received to eth2 (Gateway we just decided on)
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set interfaces ethernet eth2 address 44.131.252.65/28
Now commit the changes
• ubnt@ubnt:~# commit

== Setting up the tunnel ==

In configuration mode enter the following commands
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set interfaces tunnel tun0
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set interfaces tunnel tun0 local-ip <put the external ip assigned to you by your ISP>
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote-ip 169.228.34.84
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation ipip
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set interfaces tunnel tun0 description "Tunnel to AMPRNet gateway"
Now commit the changes
• ubnt@ubnt:~# commit ; save
To verify your input so far, enter the following command
• ubnt@ubnt:~# show interfaces tunnel tun0
The output should look like this
• description "Tunnel to AMPRNet gateway"
• encapsulation ipip
• local-ip <your assigned ISP address>
• remote-ip 169.228.34.84

== Setting up source address routing policy ==

Most likely your home computers LAN is setup to route to any internet destination via the interface connected to the ISP.
In addition, all your private ip addresses are being masqueraded before getting to the outside world.
Entering the following command (in operational mode) will print the routing table
• ubnt@ubnt:~$ show ip route

You should get something similar to this routing table

Codes: K - kernel, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, B - BGP
O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
> - selected route, * - FIB route, p - stale info
IP Route Table for VRF "default"
S *> 0.0.0.0/0 [210/0] via <your ISP default gateway>, eth0
C *> <your ISP network> is directly connected, eth0
C *> 127.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, lo

0.0.0.0/0 basically means "every ip address"

We want to make sure the following happen:

• Normal routing for your home computers LAN is maintained.

• Your AMPRNet hosts are being routed to the tunnel to connect to the internet. No masquerading is needed.

Let's define source address routing policy that will make sure only AMPRNet hosts are routed to the tunnel
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set protocols static table 1 interface-route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop-interface tun0
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set firewall modify SOURCE_ROUTE rule 10 description 'traffic to AMPRNet'
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set firewall modify SOURCE_ROUTE rule 10 source address <put your AMPRNet assigned network - in my case 44.252.131.64/28>
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set firewall modify SOURCE_ROUTE rule 10 modify table 1
• ubnt@ubnt:~# set interfaces ethernet eth2 firewall in modify SOURCE_ROUTE

Now commit the changes
• ubnt@ubnt:~# commit ; save ; exit

== Smoke test ==

To test our configuration, we first need to connect a computer to the EdgeRouter interface eth2 and manually assign an ip address from our assigned AMPRNet network range that has already been registered with the DNS.

To test that we are accessible from the outside world, use a "ping service" such as ping.eu to ping the above mentioned host. If you see response, this basically means that the tunnel is working! (At least from the outside in)

To see that our source routing policy works, ping an external host such as google DNS server @ 8.8.8.8. If you see a response, you at least know that your above mentioned host is reaching the internet.

To verify that we are exiting the router via the tunnel, do a traceroute command to 8.8.8.8. If in the trace you see some ucsd.edu host, you know that you are using the tunnel.

The last test we can do is to use a site like whatismyip.com to see the address which we are coming from. If it is the address is the above mentioned host, then we have successfully setup the AMPRNet gateway.

== Finishing touches ==

If you have reached so far and everything is working correctly, it is time to save our configuration.
In configuration mode enter the following
• ubnt@ubnt:~$ save

Since we have now an open tunnel to the world ending in our EdgeRouter, we need to extend our firewall protection to interface tun0. This can easily be done in the EdgeRouter GUI.
• Select the Firewall/NAT tab
• Select firewall policies tab
There should be two rulesets
o WAN_IN
o WAN_LOCAL

For each rule, press the actions button on the right and select the interfaces option.

• Press the + Add Interface button.
• Select tun0 as the interface and select in as the direction.
• Finish by pressing the Save Ruleset button.

== Example Config ==

This is from my working ER4.

firewall modify SOURCE_ROUTE {

Portal Call Sign Verification

2024-10-16T02:08:01Z

Airgapped: /* License Verification */

= DRAFT - Currently in progress =
== Verification ==
=== How to Verify Call Signs ===

== Claim the Ticket ==
* Click “'''Preview'''”
<br>[[File:John-smith-verify-call-sign-line-in-table.png|750px]]
* Click “'''Take Ownership'''”
<br>[[File:Ticket-information-7014.png|500px]]

== Verify the Request ==
* Call sign verification is done by comparing either against an online Government database or from an uploaded copy of their license, to the information that they have in their profile. We are mainly checking if the account has a valid call sign associated. To help with their next step of address verification, if information included on their license is missing from their profile, leave a friendly reminder and ask them to update their portal profile to include missing information from their license, most specifically their address.
* If you’re not able to verify via database - respond to the ticket and request that the user upload a copy of their license. You can use the comment: “Hello, we were unable to verify your call sign using publicly-available databases. Please upload a valid copy of your license.”

'''STEPS''':
* Automatic Lookup. For some regions, we have a have license verification tool for call sign lookup to help with verification.
* Manually look up the call sign in a database and determine if it meets standards.
** Minimal Verification will be:
*** Is it a valid call sign?
*** Full Name - First and Last (given name)
* If the call sign is for an organization:
** Reply back to the applicant, ask if this is solely for their own use.
*** If they apply that they are the only one, you can add this call sign with their individual account.
*** If they say this call sign is used for multiple individuals, they should apply as an organization. Refer to [[Organizations in the Portal]] for more details.

Note that AMPRNet (Pri) is set as the default organization for all accounts.

* If able to verify - click approve.
* Add a comment along the lines of “Verified name, email and address in [X database].”
* Do not include any personal identifying information (PII) in this field.

== Look Up Call Sign ==
The Portal has a call sign lookup for some locations. If the user hasn’t uploaded a license, we're going to check the call sign lookup first.

Click the users call sign as shown below (beside 'Call sign lookup').

<br>[[File:Ticket-information-call-sign-lookup.png|500px]]

* If there is information in the lookup (see below), we can use the provided information to compare to the user's Portal profile

<br>[[File:Call-sign-lookup-for-verification.png|500px]]

* Click “'''View'''” to continue. This will bring you to the call sign lookup detail described in the next section.

== Compare Call Sign Information ==
'''''Next, we’re going to compare information from the call sign lookup detail to information in the member's profile.'''''

* Below is the call sign detail returned from the call sign lookup described in the section above.

<br>[[File:Detail.png|500px]]

* On the ticket, click the name listed to the right of the '''"Member"''' field.

<br>[[File:Ticket-information-call-sign-lookup.png|500px]]

* This will bring you to the member's profile details, where the name in the profile should match the name returned from the call sign lookup.

<br>[[File:Section-of-profile.png|500px]]

== License Verification ==
'''''Some license verification information is available here. For example, it will help you in identifying unfamiliar license call sign prefixes and other available information. If there isn't help information, you will receive a message as seen below.'''''
* Click “'''License Verification'''”

<br>[[File:Ticket-information-call-sign-lookup.png|500px]]
<br>[[File:License-verification-not-found.png|500px]]

== Approve, Reply, or Reject ==
* '''IF''' the user has uploaded a license to verify against, and all looks in order, add a welcoming reply, and click “'''Accept'''” to approve request
* '''IF''' any information is missing or doesn’t match, reply with a message detailing what’s missing and keep the ticket open. (Keep an eye out for future updates on ticket)
* '''IF''' information in Portal profile doesn’t match their call sign information from on line or uploaded license, send a reply requesting a reason for discrepancy. Ask them to correct if discrepancy was in error.
* '''IF''' the request is suspected to be fraudulent, provide a polite response, letting them know reason you will not approve the request, and that you will be closing the ticket. ''<u>(Do not close the ticket without giving them an explanation)</u>''

In all cases, remind users that if they believe their ticket was closed in error, they should feel free to open a new ticket.

Aim for a user-friendly and easy process. Give users the benefit of the doubt and provide a clear path to fix errors. Focus on protecting against intentional fraud rather than conducting an overly strict review.

(Make sure to click “'''Add Reply'''” to upload/post your message)

=== Approve Request ===
* Click “'''Approve'''”
<br>[[File:Ticket-information-call-sign-lookup.png|500px]]
<br>[[File:Approve-lot-request.png|500px]]
* Add '''Notes''': Provide brief summary of how you verified the call sign
* Click “'''Approve'''”
'''You're Done!! Grab the next Ticket'''

=== Reject Request ===
* Click “'''Reject'''
<br>[[File:Ticket-information-call-sign-lookup.png|500px]]
<br>[[File:Reject-lot-request.png|500px]]
* Add '''Notes''': Provide brief summary of why you rejected the verification
* Click “'''Confirm rejection'''”

Welcome to the AMPRNet Wiki.

44Net is shorthand for Internet network 44 (44.0.0.0/9 & 44.128.0.0/10), also known as AMPRNet. Since its allocation to amateur radio in the mid-1980s, the network has been used by amateur radio operators to conduct scientific research and to experiment with digital communications over radio. The goals are to of advance the state of the art of Amateur Radio networking, and to educate amateur radio operators in these techniques.

To request an assignment of IPv4 addresses see below.

Setting up a gateway on Linux

There are a few different ways to run an AMPRnet gateway on a Linux system. Each has some benefits, so you'll need to pick your favourite.

Before configuring the Linux gateway you'll need to:
# Using the [[Portal]], obtain your AMPRnet IP addresses from a regional coordinator.
# Obtain a public static IP address for your gateway.
# Using the [[Portal]], create an entry for your gateway.
# Get some of your AMPRNet IP addresses registered in the [[ampr.org]] DNS.

== Native Linux kernel AX.25 and IPIP tunneling ==

Linux contains the necessary building blocks for a gateway without much added software. Radio interfaces are configured much like any other network interfaces such as Ethernet, they're just given amateur radio callsigns in addition to an IP address (callsign will act the role of the Ethernet MAC address). If you're familiar with Linux configuration but have not heard of NOS, or if you wish to go with minimal amount of moving parts, this would probably be your choice.

Setting up a native Linux gateway consists of two main steps:

=== Step 1: Setting up tunnel routing to the rest of the AMPRnet===
Configuring your Linux system to learn about other AMPRNet [[gateway| gateways]] can be done two ways:

# Automatically learn about other gateways via modified RIPv2 advertisements. Two popular programs to do this are:
## Using [[ampr-ripd]], a C based routing daemon
## Using [[rip44d]], a PERL based routing daemon
# Manually Downloading the [[encap.txt]] file using FTP and setting up routes using a [[munge script]] is the traditional method

=== Step 2: Setting up radio interfaces in Linux===

* [http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/ Linux AX.25 set-up]
* 802.11 WiFi on amateur frequencies (2.4 or 5 GHz) is a new popular way to set up fast links.

== Running JNOS (or other NOS) on top of Linux ==

If you're already familiar with running NOS on top of DOS or Linux, or wish to keep the AMPRnet IP packet routing away from the host Linux system, it might make sense to run JNOS as an application on top of Linux.

The downside is that it'll have a slightly higher overhead (consumed memory and CPU), and you'll have two IP routers running on top of each other instead of just one, which is seen as slightly complicated by some.

The upside is that you'll also get the JNOS BBS-type features, and some other traditional services without installing additional software on top.
