Dbeacon does work on Fedora 12, as I have just tested it.  When you say "your" host name was not updated on the webpage, what was the command you were using to execute dbeacon.

I suggest running it using something like:

	dbeacon -4 -n "[your display name] -b ipv4.dbeacon.aarnet.net.au -O -a [your email address] -C [country code]

For example, I issue the following myself

	dbeacon -4 -n "CQU (Jastest)" -b ipv4.dbeacon.aarnet.net.au -O -a j.bell at cqu.edu.au -C AU

Hopefully that should work for you.

Additionally, I can see your entries with the NZ beacon (http://beacon.karen.ac.nz/), which shows that you 2 machine can communicate between each other using multicast, but fails to communicate with other beacons.

Note: a Blind beacon is when a beacon cannot talk multicast is any other beacon.  For example, if you stop "nfri-ag-server.gist.ac.kr", than your other beacon (nfri-ag-display.gist.ac.kr) will become a blind beacon.

Hope this information helps.

Regards,
Jason.

Thanks, Jason.

First, I installed the 'dbeacon' and started. However my host name was not updated in web page and the 'Venue Client's 'Multicast Not Available' button was enabled. In Fedora 12, 'dbeacon' does not works?

So, I try using the New Zealand beacon. In the 'Venue Client', 'Multicast Available' button was enabled. However, in matrix, my host was printed in 'Blind Beacons'.

I changed my '/etc/beacon.conf' file like bellow.
==============================
GROUP = 233.176.75.32 
CONTACTNAME = NFRI-AG-Dispaly
CONTACTINFO = 000-000-000
CONTACTLOCATION = korea
NOTIFYEMAIL = sichoi at netmedia.gist.ac.kr
OUTPUTDIR = /var/lib/beacon 
CENTRALSERVERNAME = beacon.karen.ac.nz
===============================
Is that right?

Regards,
Sangil Choi

Sangil

We now use dbeacon within Australian, as the aarnet beacon server is no longer running.

See http://www.accessgrid.org/node/1998 for install instructions for dbeacon for Fedora 13.

Alternatively, you could try using the New Zealand beacon which can be found at http://beacon.karen.ac.nz/.

Cheers,
Jason.

Thanks, John.

I checked my client and server and I find that multicast beacon is not installed. I treat that and I show the ‘Multicast Available’ on the venue client. After that, the client can show the bridge but that is in different networks(Bridge's in 210.x.x.x / Client's in 203.x.x.x). Unfortunately, the same problem still remained.

Can you send me your '/etc/beacon.conf' file?

In addition, is the aarnet beacon server works well?
I couldn't open aarnet beacon server's web page(http://beacon2.aarnet.net.au). So I doesn't see the 'multicast beacon table'.

I would appreciate your help with this.

Regards,
Sangil Choi.

Sangil,

It's simple reason why this is the case: If two bridges do not have
multicast connectivity between them, then the traffic between the two
bridges can not reach each other.

On the same bridge, you can be sure everyone is connected to the same
traffic; but, if on different bridges - currently there is no way to be sure
that the multicast traffic reaches between bridges without testing.

Currently, there is no way without just testing which bridges do this - and
sometimes the networks change between sites that multicast breaks and until
reported isn't fixed.

For an event, I will typically (if required) suggest which bridge sites
should utilize if they aren't multicast capable that I know can work between
bridges. *most* of our sites here are now multicast enabled however, so we
try not to rely on bridges at all.

note: be sensitive to using other people's bridges because that will incur
extra traffic on their network (if for large # of clients and bandwidth,
this could be a problem for some sites hosting bridges without them
realizing it).

We have 'internal' bridges in our state where we have our own registry that
we only give out to our Louisiana site nodes so they only show up for our
clients. Very useful way to take advantage of the registry feature.
