+ For the default routing filter then you have two real choices: either
+ a "national" view or the "safe" option of only your own callsign.
+ Examples of each (for my node: GB7DJK) are:-
+
+
+
+ acc/route node_default call_dxcc 61,38
+ acc/route node_default call gb7djk
+
+
+ GB7DJK uses the first of these. The DXCC countries can be obtained
+ from the show/prefix command.
+
+
+ The example filters shown control output TO all your partner nodes
+ unless they have a specific filter applied to them (see next section).
+
+
+ It is also possible to control the incoming routing information that
+ you are prepared to accept FROM your partner nodes. The reason this is
+ necessary is to make sure that stuff like mail, pings and similar
+ commands a) go down the correct links and b) don't loop around
+ excessively. Again using GB7DJK as an example a typical default input
+ filter would be something like:
+
+
+
+ rej/route node_default input call_dxcc 61,38 and not channel_dxcc 61,38
+
+
+
+
+ What this does is accept node and user information for our national
+ network from nodes that are in our national network, but rejects such
+ information from anyone else. Although it doesn't explicitly say so,
+ by implication, any other node information (not from the UK and Eire)
+ is accepted.
+
+
+ As I imagine it will take a little while to get one's head around all
+ of this you can study the effect of any rules that you try by watching
+ the debug output after having done:-
+
+
+
+ set/debug filter
+
+
+
+
+ After you have got tired of that, to put it back the way it was:-
+
+
+
+ unset/debug filter
+
+
