Overview
- The Linux Operating System boasts kernel based networking support
- written almost entirely from scratch. The performance of the tcp/ip
- implementation in recent kernels makes it a worthy alternative to even
- the best of its peers. This document aims to describe how to install
- and configure the Linux networking software and associated tools.
-
- 3. How to use this HOWTO.
-
- This document is organized top-down. The first sections include
- informative material and can be skipped if you are not interested;
- what follows is a generic discussion of networking issues, and you
- must ensure you understand this before proceeding to more specific
- parts. The rest, ``technology specific'' information is grouped in
- three main sections: Ethernet and IP-related information, technologies
- pertaining to widespread PC hardware and seldom-used technologies.
-
- The suggested path through the document is thus the following:
-
- Read the generic sections
- These sections apply to every, or nearly every, technology
- described later and so are very important for you to understand.
- On the other hand, I expect many of the readers to be already
- confident with this material.
-
-
- Consider your network
- You should know how your network is, or will be, designed and
- exactly what hardware and technology types you will be
- implementing.
-
-
- Read the ``Ethernet and IP'' section if you are directly connected
- a LAN or the Internet" This section describes basic Ethernet
- configuration and the various features that Linux offers for IP
- networks, like firewalling, advanced routing and so on.
-
-
- Read the next section if you are interested in low-cost local
- networks or dial-up connections" The section describes PLIP,
- PPP, SLIP and ISDN, the widespread technologies used on personal
- workstations.
-
-
- Read the technology specific sections related to your
- requirements" If your needs differ from IP and/or common
- hardware, the final section covers details specific to non-IP
- protocols and peculiar communication hardware.
-
-
- Do the configuration work
- You should actually try to configure your network and take
- careful note of any problems you have.
-
-
- Look for further help if needed
- If you experience problems that this document does not help you
- to resolve then read the section related to where to get help or
- where to report bugs.
-
-
- Have fun!
- Networking is fun, enjoy it.
-
-
- 3.1. Conventions used in this document
-
- No special convention is used here, but you must be warned about the
- way commands are shown. Following the classic Unix documentation, any
- command you should type to your shell is prefixed by a prompt. This
- howto shows "user%" as the prompt for commands that do not require
- superuser privileges, and "root#" as the prompt for commands that need
- to run as root. I chose to use "root#" instead of a plain "#" to
- prevent confusion with snapshots from shell scripts, where the hash
- mark is used to define comment lines.
-
- When ``Kernel Compile Options'' are shown, they are represented in the
- format used by menuconfig. They should be understandable even if you
- (like me) are not used to menuconfig. If you are in doubt about the
- options' nesting, running the program once can't but help.
-
- Note that any link to other HOWTO's is local to help you browsing your
- local copy of the LDP documents, in case you are using the html
- version of this document. If you don't have a complete set of
- documents, every HOWTO can be retrieved from metalab.unc.edu
- (directory /pub/Linux/HOWTO) and its countless mirrors.

it hasn't yet surprised you, it is bound to soon enough, the
development hasn't stopped.
- 4.2. Linux Networking Resources.
-
- There are a number of places where you can find good information about
- Linux networking.
-
- There are a wealth of Consultants available. A listing can be found at
- LinuxPorts Consultants Database
-
- Alan Cox, the current maintainer of the Linux kernel networking code
- maintains a world wide web page that contains highlights of current
- and new developments in linux Networking at: www.uk.linux.org.
-
- Another good place is a book written by Olaf Kirch entitled the
- Network Administrators Guide. It is a work of the Linux Documentation
- Project and you can read it interactively at Network Administrators
- Guide HTML version or you can obtain it in various formats by ftp from
- the metalab.unc.edu LDP ftp archive. Olaf's book is quite
- comprehensive and provides a good high level overview of network
- configuration under linux.
-
- There is a newsgroup in the Linux news hierarchy dedicated to
- networking and related matters, it is: comp.os.linux.networking
-
- There is a mailing list to which you can subscribe where you may ask
- questions relating to Linux networking. To subscribe you should send a
- mail message:
-
-
- To: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
- Subject: anything at all
- Message:
-
- subscribe linux-net
-
-
-
- On the various IRC networks there are often #linux channels on which
- people will be able to answer questions on linux networking.
-
- Please remember when reporting any problem to include as much relevant
- detail about the problem as you can. Specifically you should specify
- the versions of software that you are using, especially the kernel
- version, the version of tools such as pppd or dip and the exact nature
- of the problem you are experiencing. This means taking note of the
- exact syntax of any error messages you receive and of any commands
- that you are issuing.
-
- 4.3. Where to get some non-linux-specific network information.
-
- If you are after some basic tutorial information on tcp/ip networking
- generally, then I recommend you take a look at the following
- documents:
-
-
-
- tcp/ip introduction
- this document comes as both a text version and a postscript
- version.
-
-
- tcp/ip administration
- this document comes as both a text version and a postscript
- version.
-
-
- If you are after some more detailed information on tcp/ip networking
- then I highly recommend:
-
-
- Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume 1: principles, protocols
- and architecture, by Douglas E. Comer, ISBN 0-13-227836-7,
- Prentice Hall publications, Third Edition, 1995.
-
-
-
- If you are wanting to learn about how to write network applications in
- a Unix compatible environment then I also highly recommend:
-
-
- Unix Network Programming, by W. Richard Stevens, ISBN
- 0-13-949876-1, Prentice Hall publications, 1990.
-
-
-
- A second edition of this book is appearing on the bookshelves; the new
- book is made up of three volumes: check Prenice-Hall's web site to
- probe further.
-
- You might also try the comp.protocols.tcp-ip newsgroup.
-
- An important source of specific technical information relating to the
- Internet and the tcp/ip suite of protocols are RFC's. RFC is an
- acronym for `Request For Comment' and is the standard means of
- submitting and documenting Internet protocol standards. There are many
- RFC repositories. Many of these sites are ftp sites and other provide
- World Wide Web access with an associated search engine that allows you
- to search the RFC database for particular keywords.
-
- One possible source for RFC's is at Nexor RFC database.
-
- 5. Generic Network Configuration Information.
-
- The following subsections you will pretty much need to know and
- understand before you actually try to configure your network. They are
- fundamental principles that apply regardless of the exact nature of
- the network you wish to deploy.
-
- 5.1. What do I need to start ?
-
- Before you start building or configuring your network you will need
- some things. The most important of these are:
-
- 5.1.1. Current Kernel source(Optional).
-
- Please note:
-
- The majority of current distributions come with networking enabled,
- therefore it may not be required to recompile the kernel. If you are
- running well known hardware you should be just fine. For example: 3COM
- NIC, NE2000 NIC, or a Intel NIC. However if you find yourself in the
- position that you do need to update the kernel, the following
- information is provided.
-
- Because the kernel you are running now might not yet have support for
- the network types or cards that you wish to use you will probably need
- the kernel source so that you can recompile the kernel with the
- appropriate options.
-
- For users of the major distributions such as Redhat, Caldera, Debian,
- or Suse this no longer holds true. As long as you stay within the
- mainstream of hardware there should be no need to recompile your
- kernel unless there is a very specific feature that you need.
-
- You can always obtain the latest kernel source from ftp.cdrom.com.
- This is not the official site but they have LOTS of bandwidth and ALOT
- of users allowed. The official site is kernel.org but please use the
- above if you can. Please remember that ftp.kernel.org is seriously
- overloaded. Use a mirror.
-
- Normally the kernel source will be untarred into the /usr/src/linux
- directory. For information on how to apply patches and build the
- kernel you should read the Kernel-HOWTO. For information on how to
- configure kernel modules you should read the ``Modules mini-HOWTO''.
- Also, the README file found in the kernel sources and the
- Documentation directory are very informative for the brave reader.
-
- Unless specifically stated otherwise, I recommend you stick with the
- standard kernel release (the one with the even number as the second
- digit in the version number). Development release kernels (the ones
- with the odd second digit) may have structural or other changes that
- may cause problems working with the other software on your system. If
- you are uncertain that you could resolve those sorts of problems in
- addition to the potential for there being other software errors, then
- don't use them.
-
- On the other hand, some of the features described here have been
- introduced during the development of 2.1 kernels, so you must take
- your choice: you can stick to 2.0 while wait for 2.2 and an updated
- distribution with every new tool, or you can get 2.1 and look around
- for the various support programs needed to exploit the new features.
- As I write this paragraph, in August 1998, 2.1.115 is current and 2.2
- is expected to appear pretty soon.
-
- 5.1.2. Current Network tools.
-
- The network tools are the programs that you use to configure linux
- network devices. These tools allow you to assign addresses to devices
- and configure routes for example.
-
- Most modern linux distributions are supplied with the network tools,
- so if you have installed from a distribution and haven't yet installed
- the network tools then you should do so.
-
- If you haven't installed from a distribution then you will need to
- source and compile the tools yourself. This isn't difficult.
-
- The network tools are now maintained by Bernd Eckenfels and are
- available at: ftp.inka.de and are mirrored at: ftp.uk.linux.org.
-
- You can also get the latest RedHat packages from net-
- tools-1.51-3.i386.rpm
-
- Be sure to choose the version that is most appropriate for the kernel
- you wish to use and follow the instructions in the package to install.
-
- To install and configure the version current at the time of the
- writing you need do the following:
- user% tar xvfz net-tools-1.33.tar.gz
- user% cd net-tools-1.33
- user% make config
- user% make
- root# make install
-
-
-
- Or to use the Redhat packahges:
-
-
-
- root# rpm -U net-tools-1.51-3.i386.rpm
-
-
-
- Additionally, if you intend configuring a firewall or using the IP
- masquerade feature you will require the ipfwadm command. The latest
- version of it may be obtained from: ftp.xos.nl. Again there are a
- number of versions available. Be sure to pick the version that most
- closely matches your kernel. Note that the firewalling features of
- Linux changed during 2.1 development and has been superceded by
- ipchains in v2.2 of the kernel. ipfwadm only applies to version 2.0 of
- the kernel. The following are known to be distributions with version
- 2.0 or below of the kernel.
-
-
-
- Redhat 5.2 or below
- Caldera pre version 2.2
- Slackware pre version 4.x
- Debian pre version 2.x
-
-
-
- To install and configure the version current at the time of this
- writing you need to read the IPChains howto located at The Linux
- Documentation Project
-
- Note that if you run version 2.2 (or late 2.1) of the kernel, ipfwadm
- is not the right tool to configure firewalling. This version of the
- NET-3-HOWTO currently doesn't deal with the new firewalling setup. If
- you need more detailed information on ipchains please refer to the
- above.
-
- 5.1.3. Network Application Programs.
-
- The network application programs are programs such as telnet and ftp
- and their respective server programs. David Holland has been managing
- a distribution of the most common of these, which is now maintained by
- netbug@ftp.uk.linux.org. You may obtain the distribution from:
- ftp.uk.linux.org.
-
5.1.4. IP Addresses, an Explanation.
Internet Protocol Addresses are composed of four bytes. The convention

- This is the best opportunity I've ever had to thank so many people I
- feel grateful to. So, I'm afraid this is going to be a large
- section... It is, in any case, the most important one of this paper
- (for me, at least...).
- First, I want to thank Elena Apolinario Fernndez de Sousa (yes, Elena
- is the first name; the REST is THE surname ;-) ). I tried to reflect
- in this Howto all the knowledge I collected while working with her in
- connecting our Department to the MBone and debugging problems with
- locally generated CSCW software across multicast tunnels. She was of
- invaluable help in finding and correcting network problems,
- discovering and fixing kernel bugs that puzzled us for days, ... and
- keeping the sense of humor alive while problems appeared and appeared,
- but solutions didn't. She also read and corrected the drafts for this
- document and provided important ideas and suggestions. If this howto
- is here and is usefull for somebody, it will be, in many aspects,
- thanks to her. Thanks, Elena!
- There is something I have been lucky enough to find all my (still-not-
- too-long) live, but, despite being repetitive, has never stopped
- amazing me. I'm talking about people that altruistically employ part
- of their time and/or resources to help other people learn new things;
- and, what is better, they enjoy doing it. This is not only (but also,
- too) explain things they already know, but lend their books, provide
- access to their sources and facilitate you the way to learn all things
- they know; sometimes, even more... I know quite a few of that people,
- and I'd like to thank them for all their help.
- Pablo Basterrechea was my "first source of documentation" while I was
- in my pre-Internet stage. I learned assembly and advanced structured
- programming entirely from his books (well, the latter also from his
- programs...). Thanks for all, Pablo.
- In my first course at the University that "primary source of
- documentation" moved to Pepe Maas. He was teaching then Computer
- Programming there, and soon I became addict to his bookshelf. He lent
- me his books lots of times without asking for a minimum sign that
- could assure that I was going to return them back to him, not even my
- name! My first approach to TCP/IP was also by his hand: he lent me
- Comer's "Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume 1" for the whole summer.
- He did not even know my name by then, but he lent me the book... That
- book influenced me a lot, and TCP/IP has become one of my primary
- fields of interest since that summer.
- If there are two persons I must thank most, these are (in alphabetic
- order ;-) ), Jos Manuel and Paco Moya. Nobody I asked more things more
- times (C, C++, Linux, security, Web, OSs, signals & systems,
- electronics, ... anything!) and, despite my persistence, I always got
- throughly and friendly responses and help. If I'm using GNU/Linux now,
- this is, again, thanks to them. I feel particularly lucky with friends
- like them. THANKS.
- Iigo Mascaraque also helped (from him I got my first System
- Administration book) and encouraged me in my beginnings, but never
- stopped reminding me that, although this was a fascinating world and
- an important part of my career, I should not forget the other, less-
- interesting, parts. (I don't forget, I$!).
- As I am on the topic, I'd like to thank my parents, too. They always
- tried to make the best opportunities available for me. Many thanks for
- all.
- I also feel grateful to Joaqun Seoane, the first who trusted me enough
- to give me a root password in the time I was learning system
- administration by myself, and Santiago Pavn, the one who gave me my
- first opportunity here at DIT.
- W. Richard Stevens' books have been a real revelation for me (it's a
- pity they are so expensive...). If he ever reads this paper, I'd like
- to thank him for them, and encourage him to keep on writing. Anything
- that comes out of his hands will -undoubtedly- be good for all of us.
- Finally I'd like to thank Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox
- and all contributors to the Linux kernel and the free software in
- general, for giving us such a great OS.
- I'm sure I'm forgetting someone here... Sorry. I'm certain they know
- I'm grateful to them too, so if they tell me, everybody will know
- it... :-)

-Preamble: This document is written by Ralf van Dooren
-(r.vdooren@snow.nl). Original text and setup of this document is
-copyleft-ed by Albert M.C. Tam, many thanks to him for this initial
-mini-HOWTO. This document is licensed under the GNU Free Documenta
-tion License. Permission to use, copy, distribute this document for

-find an error, or if any information is missing. I appreciate it.
-
-1. Introduction.
-This is the first release since LinuxPorts has become the author of
-this document. First let me say that we hope that over the next few
-months you will find this document to be of use and that we are able
-to provide accurate and timely information in regards to networking
-issues with Linux.
-This document like the other howto's that we manage is going to become
-very different, this document will shortly become the Networking-HOWTO
-not just the Net-3(4) Howto. We will cover such items as PPP, VPN, and
-others...
-2. Document History
-The original NET-FAQ was written by Matt Welsh and Terry Dawson to
-answer frequently asked questions about networking for Linux at a time
-before the Linux Documentation Project had formally started. It
-covered the very early development versions of the Linux Networking
-Kernel. The NET-2-HOWTO superceded the NET-FAQ and was one of the
-original LDP HOWTO documents, it covered what was called version 2 and
-later version 3 of the Linux kernel Networking software. This document
-in turn supercedes it and relates only to version 4 of the Linux
-Networking Kernel or more specifically kernel releases 2.x and 2.2.x.
-Previous versions of this document became quite large because of the
-enormous amount of material that fell within its scope. To help reduce
-this problem a number of HOWTO's dealing with specific networking
-topics have been produced. This document will provide pointers to them
-where relevant and cover those areas not yet covered by other
-documents.
-2.1. Feedback
-We are always interested in feedback. Please contact us at:
-feedback@en.tldp.org.
-Again, if you find anything erroneous or anything you would like to
-see added, please contact us.

- Linux IPX-HOWTO
- Kevin Thorpe, kevin@pricetrak.com
- v2.3, 06 May 1998
- 1. Introduction.
-
- This is the Linux IPX-HOWTO. You should read the Linux NET-3-HOWTO in
- conjunction with this document.
-
- 1.1. Changes from the previous release.
-
- Change of author:
- Many thanks to Terry Dawson for passing on this document and
- congratulations on becoming a father :-).
-
- Additions:
- Addition of a brief explanation of IPX. This is in response to
- many baffled queries on the discussion lists.
-
- Corrections/Updates:
- New version of ncpfs which now supports NDS logins. This is early
- beta test and may be prohibited in your country due to the use of
- patented technology.
-
- Addition of support for trustee rights in mars_nwe. This is still
- in beta test.
-
- 2. Disclaimer.
-
- I do not and cannot know everything there is to know about the Linux
- network software. Please accept and be warned that this document
- probably does contain errors. Please read any README files that are
- included with any of the various pieces of software described in this
- document for more detailed and accurate information. I will attempt to
- keep this document as error-free and up-to-date as possible. Versions
- of software are current as at time of writing.
-
- In no way do I or the authors of the software in this document offer
- protection against your own actions. If you configure this software,
- even as described in this document and it causes problems on your
- network then you alone must carry the responsibility. I include this
- warning because IPX network design and configuration is not always a
- simple matter and sometimes undesirable interaction with other routers
- and fileservers can result if you do not design or configure your
- network carefully. I also include this warning because I was asked to
- by someone unfortunate enough to have discovered this lesson the hard
- way.
-
-
- 3. Related Documentation.
-
- This document presumes you understand how to build a Linux kernel with
- the appropriate networking options selected and that you understand
- how to use the basic network tools such as ifconfig and route. If you
- do not, then you should read the NET-3-HOWTO in
- conjunction with this document as it describes these.
-
- Other Linux HOWTO documents that might be useful are:
-
- The Ethernet-HOWTO , which describes the details
- of configuring an Ethernet device for Linux.
-
- The PPP-HOWTO as IPX support is available for version
- 2.2.0d and later of the Linux PPP implementation.
-
-
- 3.1. New versions of this document.
-
- If your copy of this document is more than two months old then I
- strongly recommend you obtain a newer version. The networking support
- for Linux is changing very rapidly with new enhancements and features,
- so this document also changes fairly frequently. The latest released
- version of this document can always be retrieved by anonymous ftp
- from:
-
- ftp:/sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/IPX-HOWTO>/ or:
- ftp:/sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/IPX-
- HOWTO{-html.tar,ps,dvi}.gz>/ via the World Wide Web from the Linux
- Documentation Project Web Server
- , at page: IPX-HOWTO
- or directly from me,
- . It may also be posted to the newsgroups:
- comp.os.linux.networking, comp.os.linux.answers and news.answers from
- time to time.
-
- 3.2. Feedback.
-
- Please send any comments, updates, or suggestions to me,
- . The sooner I get feedback, the sooner I can
- update and correct this document. If you find any problems with it,
- please mail me directly as I can miss info posted to the newsgroups.
