GRE between Netscreen and FreeBSD

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

 Due to special request to do tunnelling with any available products which is one Netscreen 204 and one PC router based on FreeBSD 5.4, I tried to establish a GRE tunnel between them.

 It’s works. And this is the configuration in both nodes:

 

—-(subnet A)—FreeBSD router—–(LAN/WAN)—–Netscreen—-Subnet B 

 

===============Netscreen 204 Configuration===================
set interface “tunnel.1″ zone “Untrust”
set interface tunnel.1 ip 22.22.22.1/30
set interface tunnel.1 tunnel encap gre
set interface tunnel.1 tunnel local-if ethernet1.11 dst-ip 192.168.1.2
set interface tunnel.1 mtu 1450
========FreeBSD 5.4 Configuration============================
ifconfig gre0 create
ifconfig gre0 tunnel 192.168.1.2 10.242.2.129
ifconfig gre0 inet 22.22.22.2 22.22.22.1 netmask 0xffffffff link0 up
ifconfig gre0 mtu 1450

Free 3G services in Smart 3G Network in Manila

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

While sitting in the taxi from airport to the hotel, I saw the advertisement from SMART Phillipine
It said “The following Smart 3G services can be accessed for free during the trial period: 3G video calling, 3G video streaming, 3G high speed Internet browsing and special 3G content downloads.
Because I also bring 3G phone that I usually use for test the 3G trial network in Jakarta, i tried to find the prepaid card and fortunately it only cost 200 Peso + 300 Peso refill voucher. After some configuration by using OTA, the GPRS was activated and also subscribed to 3G services.
And, the result is this post. I write this post over FREE SMART 3G Packet Data services !!!

I do hope that Indonesia operator will also offer FREE 3G data services in the their soft launch periods.
