Install n2n-Edgenode¶
Requirements¶
To install n2n you will need the following:- a installed and supported operating system (e.g. CentOS 6.x)
- root-access
- EPEL repository
- a fast internet connection
Preliminary note¶
most of this is taken from- [[http://www.ntop.org/products/n2n/]]
- [[https://github.com/lukablurr/n2n_v2_fork/blob/master/doc/multiple-supernodes.pdf]]
- [[http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/n2n]]
- [[http://listgateway.unipi.it/pipermail/n2n/2009-October/000300.html]]
Install¶
The EPEL-Repository is a requirement.
yum install n2n
manual testing¶
starting Edgenode¶
maybe simple as
edge -a 10.1.2.5 -c mynetwork -k mypwd -l 94.136.160.87:5644
edge -d n2n0 -c mynetwork -k encryptme -u 99 -g 99 -m DE:AD:BE:EF:01:23 -a 192.168.254.7 -p 50001 -l 123.121.120.119:7654
Start edge with TAP device n2n0 on community "mynetwork" with community supernode at 123.121.120.119 UDP port 7654 and bind the locally used UDP port to50001. Use "encryptme" as the single permanent shared encryption key. Assign MACaddress DE:AD:BE:EF:01:23 to the n2n interface and drop to user=99 and group=99 after the TAP device is successfull configured.
Add the -f option to stop edge running as a daemon.
Somewhere else setup another edge with similar parameters, eg.
edge -d n2n0 -c mynetwork -k encryptme -u 99 -g 99 -m DE:AD:BE:EF:01:21 -a 192.168.254.5 -p 50001 -l 123.121.120.119:7654
Now you can ping from 192.168.254.5 to 192.168.254.7.
The MAC address (-m <MAC>) and virtual IP address (-a <addr>) must be different on all edges in the same community.
running n2n-EdgeNode as a service¶
if everything is working as expected we maybe want n2n-edgenode to survive a system-reboot.
The following should work without modification:
Create a folder /etc/n2n and create configuration files (as described below) using following file name format:
mkdir /etc/n2n
edge-host1.example.com
edge-host2.example.com
edge-*.example.com
The interesting contents of 'edge-host1.example.com' would look similar to this:
vim /etc/n2n/edge-host1.example.com
# == edge configuration values parsed by /etc/rc.d/init.d/edged == # Each value is read by the init script - do not modify variable names. # Read 'man edge' for details about these values... # Uncomment N2N_FORWARD if you want to route packets via VPN... # N2N_FORWARD="-r" # N2N_DAEMONISE="-f" N2N_TUN_IF="tun10" N2N_IP="10.10.10.11" N2N_NETMASK="255.255.255.0" N2N_KEY="MySecretCode" N2N_COMMUNITY="MyCommunityName" # Better to use numeric public IP rather than DNS hostname, but... N2N_SUPERNODE="gw1.example.com" N2N_PORT="8765" N2N_UID="99" N2N_GID="99" # Other options... # N2N_OPTIONS="-p 1234 -M 1200 -t -b -v" N2N_OPTIONS="" # === end edge-host1.example.com config. file ===================
Read comments in the scripts below to make more sense out of how they work.
Here is the init-script that works when used with configuration files as described above:
vim /etc/init.d/edged

make init-script executeable
chmod +x /etc/init.d/edged
Using CentOS tools to activate the sys.v init scripts:
chkconfig --add edged
chkconfig edged on
Command line syntax:
service edged [start|stop|restart|any debug]
For example:
service edged restart
…OR…
service edged restart debug
provides some extra clues.
