Hi, RAToolSet can be downloaded from http://www.isi.edu/ra/RAToolSet. Below, I am including the instructions in case some of you may want to try it out next week. My understanding is that the tools will stay installed on meeting.ripe.net (acct name rademo) for a while. Regards. Cengiz -- Cengiz Alaettinoglu Information Sciences Institute (310) 822-1511 University of Southern California http://www.isi.edu/~cengiz ====================================================================== Instructions for RAToolSet Demos ================================ Your feedback on these tools are greatly appreciated. You can download RAToolSet from: ftp.isi.edu:ra/RAToolSet http://www.isi.edu/ra/RAToolSet There is a mailing list ratoolset@isi.edu To subscribe, send mail to majordomo@isi.edu with body of the message containing "subscribe ratoolset". NOTE: RAToolSet is configured to connect to RAWhoisd running at meeting.ripe.net at port 5045. If you get a connect failed error, RAWhoisd probably is not running anymore. In which case you can connect to whois.ra.net by issuing: unsetenv IRR_HOST unsetenv IRR_PORT To run: 1) cd demo/data NOTE: Most of the executables are in ~cengiz/demo/bin. This directory is already in the PATH of the rademo account. Example data files are in the ~/demo/data directrory. The man pages are in ~demo/man. The MANPATH contains this directory. 2) to generate a config file for a cisco router RtConfig < ornet-gw.ra You may want to examine the file ornet-gw.ra first. This file is used in production to configure one of the routers of Oregon IX (courtesy of Dave Meyer). 3) to generate a route server config file RtConfig -config rsd < rsd.sprint.tmpl rs1.sprint.ra.net is configured using this template file every four hours. You may want to add "-h meeting -p 5055" to speed this up. (see relayd below). 4) roe roe <your-as-number> If you have a cisco bgp dump, you should load it from the file menu. You may want to try "roe AS226", there is a bgp dump file that goes with this AS in file roe_bgp_dump_as226. 5) aoe aoe <your-as-number> If you have a cisco bgp dump, you should load it from the file menu. You may want to try "aoe AS3582", there is a bgp dump file that goes with this AS in file aoe_bgp_dump_as3582. 6) CIDRAdvisor CIDRAdvisor -incl_multihomed AS226 This will not check any policies. Try: CIDRAdvisor -incl_multihomed AS226 -radius -3 to check policies of all ASes 7) peval peval -expand_all 'AS1220 AND AS226' peval will list the multihomed routes between AS1220 and AS226 8) other (9 and 10 below are more interesting) prcheck <your-as-number> pmatch AS3130 cat.isi.edu prpath AS2914 193.85.128.0/24 prtraceroute www.isi.edu we are having problems running prtraceroute on bsdi. 9) relayd is running on meeting.ripe.net on port 5055. All tools above can be run using relayd by issuing the command line options "-h meeting -p 5055". For example: RtConfig -config rsd -h meeting -p 5055 < rsd.sprint.tmpl You will see warning messages saying the data comes from a CACHE. You may also notice certain tools run faster. If you get a connect() failed, most probably somebody rebooted meeting.ripe.net, and relayd is no longer running. You can restart relayd by: relayd -c all-as.db 10) IRRv irrv Rusty's instructions: For a demo the following things can be done: 1. Select "IRR -> AS Peers" menu option and enter as3333. => this expands as3333 2. Find Ebone (as1755) and drag it into the clear 3. Expand Ebone 4. Select "IRR -> Layout -> Gater Peers" => this will collect all of Ebones singly connected peers => around Ebone * at this point you may want expand a few more ases to get the map a bit cluttered to demo the "Gather Nodes" option. following are some suggested expansions 5. Expand as3215 6. Expand as5582 7. Expand UUNet (as175?) => this will cause the uunet icon to turn yellow, indicating no => registered peer info 8. Expand 6708 9. Select "IRR -> Layout -> Group Nodes" && select 3 or 4 levels on the popup => this will group all nodes of degree 3 (or 4) reducing much => clutter. 10. Select RIPE (as3333) and pulldown the 'IRR -> IRR -> Display Autnum" menu. => this will show the '!man,as3333' query results in the text => window. 11. Select RIPE (as3333) and pulldown the 'IRR -> IRR -> Display Routes" menu. => this will show the '!gas3333' query results in the text => window. 12. You can select the 'IRR -> Geographic -> World' to show the geographic ability, although the maps should show as a backdrop, this may produce uninteresting results. *** About exec'ing commands there is an executable script ~eddy/bin/irrv that will change directories to ~eddy/bin and exec tkined. I have symbolic links for: prpath -> ~cengiz/RAToolSet/src/prpath/prpath roe -> ~cengiz/RAToolSet/src/roe/roe prtraceroute -> ~cengiz/demo/bin/prtraceroute that will get executed when the 'IRR -> tools -> ..." gets selected. after executing prtraceroute or prpath using the text log screen and hyper commands, it is safest to quit the log window if you will attempt another exec of prtraceroute or prpath. This is because tkined has a bug that jumbles subsequent hyper link commands.
