The Solaris 2 and SVR4 ports share a lot of code -but are not identical. The STREAMS kernel modules and driver for -Solaris 2 are in the svr4 directory (and use some code from the -modules directory). - -NOTE: Although the kernel driver and modules have been designed to -operate correctly on SMP systems, they have not been extensively -tested on SMP machines. Some users of SMP Solaris x86 systems have -reported system problems apparently linked to the use of previous -versions of this software. I believe these problems have been fixed. - - -Installation. -************* - -1. Run the configure script and make the user-level programs and the -kernel modules. - - ./configure - make - -If you wish to use gcc (or another compiler) instead of Sun's cc, edit -the svr4/Makedefs file and uncomment the definition of CC. You can -also change the options passed to the C compiler by editing the COPTS -definition. - -2. Install the programs and kernel modules: as root, do - - make install - -This installs pppd, chat and pppstats in /usr/local/bin and the kernel -modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/strmod, and creates the /etc/ppp -directory and populates it with default configuration files. You can -change the installation directories by editing svr4/Makedefs. - -If your system normally has only one network interface, the default -Solaris 2 system startup scripts will disable IP forwarding in the IP -kernel module. This will prevent the remote machine from using the -local machine as a gateway to access other hosts. The solution is to -create an /etc/ppp/ip-up script containing something like this: - - #!/bin/sh - /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 1 - -See the man page for ip(7p) for details. - -Dynamic STREAMS Re-Plumbing Support. -************************************ - -Solaris 8 includes dynamic re-plumbing support. With this, modules -below ip can be inserted, or removed, without having the ip stream be -unplumbed, and re-plumbed again. All states in ip for an interface -will therefore now be preserved. Users can install (or upgrade) -modules like firewall, bandwidth manager, cache manager, tunneling, -etc., without shutting the machine down. - -To support this, ppp driver now uses /dev/udp instead of /dev/ip for -the ip stream. The interface stream (where ip module pushed on top of -ppp) is then I_PLINK'ed below the ip stream. /dev/udp is used because -STREAMS will not let a driver be PLINK'ed under itself, and /dev/ip is -typically the driver at the bottom of the tunneling interfaces -stream. The mux ids of the ip streams are then added using -SIOCSxIFMUXID ioctl. - -Users will be able to see the modules on the interface stream by, for -example: - - pikapon% ifconfig ppp modlist - 0 ip - 1 ppp - -Or arbitrarily if bandwidth manager and firewall modules are installed: - - pikapon% ifconfig hme0 modlist - 0 arp - 1 ip - 2 ipqos - 3 firewall - 4 hme - -Snoop Support. -************** - -This version includes support for /usr/sbin/snoop. Tests has been done -on both Solaris 7 and 8. Only IPv4 and IPv6 packets will be sent up to -stream(s) marked as promiscuous, e.g, snoop et al. - -Users will be able to see the packets on the ppp interface by, for example: - - snoop -d ppp0 - -See the man page for snoop(1M) for details. - -IPv6 Support. -************* - -This is for Solaris 8 and later. - -This version has been tested under Solaris 8 running IPv6. As of now, -interoperability testing has only been done between Solaris machines -in terms of the IPV6 NCP. An additional command line option for the -pppd daemon has been added: ipv6cp-use-persistent. - -By default, compilation for IPv6 support is not enabled. Uncomment -the necessary lines in pppd/Makefile.sol2 to enable it. Once done, the -quickest way to get IPv6 running is to add the following somewhere in -the command line option: - - +ipv6 ipv6cp-use-persistent - -The persistent id for the link-local address was added to conform to -RFC 2472; such that if there's an EUI-48 available, use that to make -up the EUI-64. As of now, the Solaris implementation extracts the -EUI-48 id from the Ethernet's MAC address (the ethernet interface -needs to be up). Future works might support other ways of obtaining a -unique yet persistent id, such as EEPROM serial numbers, etc. - -There need not be any up/down scripts for ipv6, e.g. /etc/ppp/ipv6-up -or /etc/ppp/ipv6-down, to trigger IPv6 neighbor discovery for auto -configuration and routing. The in.ndpd daemon will perform all of the -necessary jobs in the background. /etc/inet/ndpd.conf can be further -customized to enable the machine as an IPv6 router. See the man page -for in.ndpd(1M) and ndpd.conf(4) for details. - -Below is a sample output of "ifconfig -a" with persistent link-local -address. Note the UNNUMBERED flag is set because hme0 and ppp0 both -have identical link-local IPv6 addresses: - -lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1 - inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 -hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 - inet 129.146.86.248 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 129.146.86.255 - ether 8:0:20:8d:38:c1 -lo0: flags=2000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 8252 index 1 - inet6 ::1/128 -hme0: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2 - ether 8:0:20:8d:38:c1 - inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fe8d:38c1/10 -hme0:1: flags=2080841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,ADDRCONF,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2 - inet6 fec0::56:a00:20ff:fe8d:38c1/64 -hme0:2: flags=2080841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,ADDRCONF,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2 - inet6 2000::56:a00:20ff:fe8d:38c1/64 -hme0:3: flags=2080841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,ADDRCONF,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2 - inet6 2::56:a00:20ff:fe8d:38c1/64 -ppp0: flags=10008d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 12 - inet 172.16.1.1 --> 172.16.1.2 netmask ffffff00 -ppp0: flags=2202851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST,UNNUMBERED,NONUD,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 12 - inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fe8d:38c1/10 --> fe80::a00:20ff:fe7a:24fb - -Note also that a plumbed ipv6 interface stream will exist throughout -the entire PPP session in the case where the peer rejects IPV6CP, -which further causes the interface state to stay down.

Installing the -package by executing "make install" will result in additional files -residing in /kernel/drv/sparcv9 and /kernel/strmod/sparcv9 -subdirectories. - -64-bit modules and driver have been compiled and tested using Sun's cc. - -Synchronous Serial Support. -*************************** - -This version has working but limited support for the on-board -synchronous HDLC interfaces. It has been tested with the /dev/se_hdlc -and /dev/zsh drivers. Synchronous mode was tested with a Cisco -router. - -There ppp daemon does not directly support controlling the serial -interface. It relies on the /usr/sbin/syncinit command to initialize -HDLC mode and clocking. - -Some bugs remain: large sized frames are not sent/received properly, -and may be related to the IP mtu. This may be due to bugs in pppd -itself, bugs in Solaris or the serial drivers. The /dev/zsh driver -seems more larger and can send/receive larger frames than the -/dev/se_hdlc driver. There is a confirmed bug with NRZ/NRZI mode in -the /dev/se_hdlc driver, and Solaris patch 104596-11 is needed to -correct it. (However this patch seems to introduce other serial -problems. If you don't apply the patch, the workaround is to change -the nrzi mode to yes or no, whichever works) - -How to start pppd with synchronous support: - -#!/bin/sh - -local=1.1.1.1 # your ip address here -baud=38400 # needed, but ignored by serial driver - -# Change to the correct serial driver/port -#dev=/dev/zsh0 -dev=/dev/se_hdlc0 - -# Change the driver, nrzi mode, speed and clocking to match your setup -# This configuration is for external clocking from the DCE -connect="syncinit se_hdlc0 nrzi=no speed=64000 txc=rxc rxc=rxc" - -/usr/sbin/pppd $dev sync $baud novj noauth $local: connect "$connect" - - -Sample Cisco router config excerpt: - -! -!
