Desert adventure gw21/23/2024 ![]() The air may be thin up there but the area will be thick with adventure as you explore Symphony’s Haven or the dungeons of the Grotto. Where else can you venture to? “All or Nothing” is the brand-new episode of Path of Fire’s Living World and it takes us to Thunderhead Peaks. The arrival of the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik razed the eastern side of the region but the area’s still something to behold. ![]() Onion domes top the skyline of the city that’s filled with gossip-mongers at the Yahnur Market or the floating Seborhin tree above the Garden of Seborhin. Once known as a hub of wealth and culture, under the rule of Palawa Joko, Vabbi is now a hotbed for the production of Awakened. Mostly lawyers and probably the dude who named all these places. Areas of interests include Joko’s Bone Palace, where you can hear the screams of those who were used in its construction the Mouth of Torment, which is a crater on the former shoreline of the Crystal Sea and the Realm of Torment, where the corrupted reside. There, the stench of sulfur singes the hairs in your nose. ![]() This cheery-sounding locale is the HQ to the remnants of Palawa Joko’s empire. Some say it’s an eyesore but Joko himself thinks it really ties the region together – or he did before he became a dragon’s lunch. Cast your sight south and you’ll see Palawa Joko’s Bone Wall. Now a lush landscape with dotted ruins, you can retrace the steps of the heroes of yore who traveled the path of Ascension. It used to be a desolate location until Palawa Joko diverted the Elon River through it. We’re not sure if there are still treasures to be looted but Kevin isn’t ashamed to be rooting about like some common sneak. The grains of sand here are rumored to hold the entrance to the crystalline lair of the dragon Glint. You can check out the Tomb of the Primeval Kings, where the Elonian rulers from ancient dynasties are buried. Head north of the Crystal Oasis and you’ll come to the Desert Highlands. He’s kinda swarthy and has a terrible back tattoo of either a centaur or a guy riding a horse. If you’re there, help me look out for Kevin. Swing by the Grand Sahil Casino to wet your whistle or get cheated- I mean, try your luck. There’s also the Free City, Amnoon Oasis, that is a filled with defectors of Palawa Joko’s empire. If you hunger for some of that old time religion, the Temple of Kormir, goddess of truth, is located in Elona Reach. If you tire from the dusty dunes of the Crystal Desert, the Crystal Oasis provides a much-needed respite, although that’s not saying much. ![]() If you happen to see Kevin, let me know because he still owes me money for the last expedition. Probably lost souls of previous visitors like you. Home to Drakes, Wurms, Hydra, Loser Centaurs, oh yes, and ghosts. Situated at the northern border of Elona, the Crystal Desert is a dry and arid region teeming with life. Today, we’ll be taking the scenic route of the Living World series that promises story missions and episodes that creates a breathing landscape for you to play in. Sure, the place has issues with bears Elementals threats of the Scarab Plague Fleshreavers undead horrors Elder Dragons… but, hey! Silver linings and all that, right?

Loopback alternative mac1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() The Reverse path filtering setting is enabled for strict routing by default.Modify arp_announce to 2 to prevent addresses on the loopback interface from being announced on the network. Modify the arp_ignore setting to 3 so ARP responses are not generated for host-scoped addresses. Prevent cluster advertisement (ARP suppression).When Load Balancer’s MAC forwarding or encapsulated MAC forwarding is used, the following configuration steps must be taken on each Linux server: Recall that the cluster address must be assigned to the loopback to prevent conflicts with the Load Balancer and the loopback interface cannot transmit packets on the network. ![]() The cluster address is not configured on the ethernet interface so responses from the server to the client are discarded. With strict routing, traffic must use an address assigned to the sending interface, otherwise, the traffic is discarded. Servers are configured with a strict routing policy by default. The reverse path filtering setting controls the addresses allowed to send traffic on the network. The default loopback address, 127.0.0.1, is never advertised since it is reserved for the local machine. ARP settings must be modified to prevent loopback address advertisement. The Load Balancer no longer distributes connections for the cluster. If the server advertises the cluster address, the server receives all the cluster traffic. Linux, by default, advertises addresses configured on all interfaces, including the loopback. Responses are routed directly back to the client and do not flow through the Load Balancer. The server transmits responses from an ethernet interface with the cluster address as the source address. Aliasing the cluster IP on the loopback interface allows the server to receive forwarded packets. The servers receive network traffic for any address configured on the server. This address is reserved to represent the local machine. ![]() A special address of 127.0.0.1 is always assigned to the loopback interface. The loopback interface is a virtual interface that is always present and cannot transmit data on the network. The loopback interface is a special interface that allows local socket communication. Operating system configuration changes are required for all Linux servers defined to receive MAC-forwarded or encapsulated MAC-forwarded traffic. A common method is to add the sysctl commands to the /etc/nf file.Īfter the configuration changes are made, if the expected behavior is not observed, review your specific operating system manual. Consult your operating system documentation for administering persistent settings. Users with Linux for System z must review this material.Īvoid Trouble: Make the server configuration changes persistent such that changes are retained when the system is rebooted. To configure Linux servers to process MAC or encapsulated MAC forwarded traffic, you must add the cluster address as an alias on the loopback adapter, suppress advertisement of the cluster address, and modify reverse path filtering. The cluster address is added to the tunnel interface. However, if a collocated server is defined, the Load Balancer creates a special tunnel interface named ibmulb. The collocated server and the Load Balancer compete for resources and cause degraded performance and response time. Servers on the same machine as a Load Balancer are called collocated servers. Collocated servers are not recommended. To allow this behavior, the cluster address is added to the loopback device on the back-end servers as shown: When the MAC forwarding method is configured with WebSphere ® Edge Load Balancer, you must ensure that cluster-addressed traffic can be accepted by the stacks of the back-end servers. The Linux™ operating system employs a host-based model of advertising hardware addresses to IP addresses with the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). This model is incompatible with the back-end server or collocated server requirements for Load Balancer's Media Access Control (MAC) forwarding method. Why is configuring MAC and encapsulated MAC forwarding for WebSphere ® Edge Load Balancer different on Linux™? ![]() |
