CenturyLink 6rd on Cisco IOS

I have a static IPv4 address from CenturyLink (x.y.z.198). To find my corresponding IPv6 6rd address I need to convert my IPv4 address to hex and append CenturyLink’s 6rd prefix.

SSHFS Mount on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Today, Ubuntu 12.04.1 (GNOME Classic) was giving me this error when unmounting and SSHFS drive: “mount disagrees with the fstab.”

USER@SERVER:/path/to/project    /mnt/server   fuse.sshfs    user,noauto,transform_symlinks,idmap=user 0 0

CenturyLink DSL Setup on a Cisco 1720

I turned up a 7Mbps DSL connection with CenturyLink this evening. Here’s the configuration I used to get the circuit working. The ‘debug ppp authentication command’ helped a lot, too.

Note: To get the username and password I had to call CenturyLink technical support. The CenturyLink provisioned modems must have some mechanism to get the necessary information automatically.
