IPV6 - Anjum and Ghulam (this has been de-prioritized until new database PingER is working)
IPV6 machine is working fine. However, we cannot logon. Ghulam is investigating. Progress
Le4s has the passwords for the IPv6 host at SEECS. He still has to try it.
Earlier Ghulam installed pinger2 on it and tried to collect data. But it was unable to resolve the IPV6 address. Les looked at pinger2.pl, it verifies the address is IPv4 4 octets. In addition one will need a copy of pinger.xml with IPv6 hosts and their addresses. I have modified traceroute.pl to work with IPv6. The new version is 5.71. if you are updating any monitors then this is the version to install. It is available at http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/traceroute/traceroute.pl. I am unable to fully test at SLAC since we have no IPv56 host/network. It has 2 subroutines There are 2 subroutines in traceroute.pl that may be useful in making pinger2.pl support IPv6. They are valid_ip and gethostbyname6.
Next we need to make pingtable.pl and getdata.pl IPV6 capable, again this could use valid_ip.pl. the 2 subroutines. Since Ghulam and Sadia are working on these it would be good for them to add this.
We were unable to log in to IPV6 machine at SEECS. Kashif sattar sent an email to Les for sharing username and ?passwords for Maggie1 and Maggie2 on 29th Feb, but we haven't yet acted upon it.
pinger2.pl
Joun has installed the latest version pinger2.pl that is not supposed to lose <BeaconsList> at 3 sites (cae.seecs.edu.pk, maggie2.seecs.edu.pk, aup.seecs.edu.pk). We will have a better idea of whether it works at the end of the month when the sites get updated.
What are the updates on these 3 hosts, Joun? Amber send joun an email and ask.
We have defined how to force updates of the <BeaconList> fro SLAC. However, it is not implementedA month later after install the <BeaconsList> appears OK on all three. Joun may want to extend the deployment of the new pinger2.pl.
