Bug Name Submitted by Date OS Description Freeing Andrew Hart 12-4-1996 All We're testing GateD 3.5 Beta 3 on BSDI, and may have found a allocated <hart@ebina.hitachi.co.j problem with memory p> BGP. I've just recently started working with GateD, so please when AS bear with me if my explanation is a little fuzzy. path matching The problem is with freeing allocated memory when AS path entries matching entries are deleted during operation. Specifically, are when we start up GateD with BGP import entries including AS deleted path regular expressions, then delete these entries and cause during GateD to reread the configuration file, viewing the dump operation. indicates that memory blocks are still in use by the tasks named asp_trans, asp_table, and asp_state. Shouldn't this memory have been freed? I'm not sure whether this is really a bug, so any help you can give would be appreciated. I will be away from the office for a few days, but if you need more info I'll get it to you when I return. SDL ntwo Marc Evans 7-12-1996 All - SDL requires the use of the PPP code in their FR protocol adapter <marc@destek.net> stack, and hence has the driver inform the kernel to treat bug. the interface as though it is a PPP connection. - The gated code requires that a PPP have both the source and destination addresses indicated in the ifconfig statement. So, I think to myself, that's easy, I will just have to use an "ifconfig alias" statement for each seperate PVC in the frame cloud (in this specific case, about 75 or so PVC's). Unfortunately, they all share 1 of 2 source addresses, and hence only 2 of the ifconfig lines actually are used.

KRT RT ERROR 140.173.24 mask 255.255.252 router 140.173.144.1 flags <GW>2: variable subnet masks not supported So, although SunOS indeed does not support variable subnet masks, I'm not trying to use variable subnet masks, and all of the debugging that gated gives me tells me that it knows that. Yet it still complains and refuses to install the routes. Gated Bill Fenner 8-15-1996 All The problem is that gated doesn't set ifa_net for doesn't <fenner@parc.xerox.com> point-to-point interfaces. This is obviously required for set "unnumbered" interfaces, but causes problems in this ifa_net situation. I am vaguely considering adding something for point disgusting like to point. interface { interface hsis0 isreallyonanetwork; }; (maybe find a nicer keyword =), since I don't want to break "unnumbered" interfaces. Any other suggestions? Exporting From: Rob Liebschutz 5-25-1996 All Description: Exporting via OSPF both static and aggregate via OSPF <rob@rjl.com> routes both causes gated to die when the static routes are listed in the static and aggregate statement. aggregate routes Another related bug: causes gated to static { die when xxx.yyy.24.0 masklen 24 gateway xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa; the static }; routes are listed in aggregate xxx.yyy.24.0 makslen 24 { the proto static { aggregate xxx.yyy.24.0 masklen 24; statement. }; }; export proto ospfase { proto aggregate metric 1 {all;}; }; Does not export this network number. I would expect it to do so. GateD's Dave Ward 7-12-1996 All I have found that (GateD's) OSPF will not advertise on the OSPF will <dward@netstar.com> last interface in the interface table. not advertise on the last interface in the interface table. Reconfig rkalathu@us.Newbridge.co 4-19-1996 All The SIGHUP signal does not seem to have an effect on the GATED -signal m (Ramesh Kalathu) process. The GATED process continues to send problems RIP on all the interfaces even though the configuration for some of the interfaces have changed. VARIABLE mayer@unisys.co.at 3-20-1996 All VARIABLE SUBNET MASKS NOT SUPPORTED SUBNET (Hans Mayer) MASKS NOT SUPPORTED Problems Gordon M Taylor 5-30-1996 IRIX I have been trying to run the current version of GateD with Gated <gordon@cmf.nrl.navy.mil R3_5Beta3) on an SGI indy that is running IRIX_5.3. I have on IRIX. > not had any problems with the configuration or the compiling of the software package, but the machine hangs after a certain period of time. This period of time varies anywhere from 2 hours to 20 hours. I have not gotten anything from the log files (with trace) or from the SYSLOG file after any of these incidents. I have noticed that the last thing in the SYSLOG file is always a file rotation for gated's trace file. I have tried running the factory-distributed version of gated that came with the IRIX install CD, and it ran for over a week with no problems. Unfortunately, this version (1.9.3.2??) does not support enough features to make this a viable long-term option. I will include my config file from the obj.IRIX* directory from the source tree, and the gated.conf and related files at the end of this message. If you would like to see some of the tracefiles, I could send them to you. Can't ping hitel.kol.net 6-17-1996 Linux I can ping from my linux to pc and from linux to office lan. from Linux And I can ping from lan to linux and from pc to linux. But I can't ping from my pc to office lan or from lan to pc. Linux drops packets with ip address other than linux lan card, that is, for example 192.2.1.101. How can I solve this problem. I have tried almost all configs. But I failed. No Linux JensenJ@90cs.warren.af.m 5-28-1996 Linux Is there a compiled binary distribution of gated for the version il latest slackware 3.0 distribution of Linux? (or the previous non-ELF distribution?) Concern Curt Conrad 12-1-95 All I am not a BGP expert (and I don't play one on TV) but I am about concerned that not all cases of AS_PATH attributes are handled gated-R3_5B correctly in aspath_attr() in gated-R3_5Beta_1/aspath.c. eta_1/aspat h.c In particular, it seems that when handling consecutive SEQUENCE segments, only the first might be copied. Suppose an AS_PATH consists of only two consecutive SEQUENCES. In the first pass through the AS_PATH (lines 1586-1619, aspath.c), "nseg" will be set to 1 (to compress the two consecutive SEQUENCES into one). In the second pass, when the AS_PATH is actually copied (lines 1641-1717, although only lines 1641-1675 are significant here), the first SEQUENCE will be copied, "nseg" will be decremented to 0 at line 1668, and the while loop will exit without copying any part of the second SEQUENCE. Didn't ANS fix a similar bug in this area of gated? Does this new code fix some bug in alpha 11? I am curious to know the answer, since I would like to drop a couple of unrelated fixes for "generate" routes in aspath.c. Rip mib sreid@utah.xylan.com 10-17-1996 All I have been working in the SNMP interface area for GateD. bug (Steve Reid) Since we don't use ISODE as our SNMP agent, I have been taking the code delivered with the GateD release and performing surgery on it to be compatible with our SNMP engine. When I came to the code which would seem to handle the RIP MIB, I find that the code that we received in rip_mib.c was nothing but an empty shell which returns constant zeroes for almost every field.
