Hi,
re:

No worries.
re: what did you do for "I added the routes"

> ip route add 224.0.1.4/255.255.255.255 dev em4
OK, the hard way ;-)

OK.

This would be a good thing to test when you get time.

Again, the hard way from my perspective.

Needing to do this is one of the reasons that I say that this is the hard way.
re:

OK. My question remains: if the _only_ traffic on 'em4' is from the Novra
S300N,
why go to so much bother to lock down access?

Interesting. Was this needed? The reason I ask is we have IP forwarding
turned off in our /etc/sysctl.conf file.
re: Are you working with a university that is connected to the IDD to get feeds?
> As far as I know we are not working with a university.
Then you will need to get the GOES-16/17 data from your NOAAPort reception
system and then stitch the tiles together to make full scenes. We can not
feed a non-university site ** unless ** they have contracted with us to
provide the feed(s) that they want, and this is not cheap (since it costs
so much to setup via the contracting process). If you are interested
in receiving not-for-free feeds from us, I can put you in touch with the
appropriate person to further discuss the matter.
re:
> If I have to get all GOES-R data
> via noaaport, what configuration changes do I need on LDM?
Nothing on the ingest side needs changing (assuming you have configured
your Novra S300N to process the needed PIDs in NOAAPort). Typically,
sites feed the output from a NOAAPort ingest machine to one or more
downstream LDMs where data processing is done. We do not recommend
trying to double duty an ingest machine with processing the data since
the output from the Novra S300N is a UDP stream, and UDP streams have
no retransmit capability like TCP does - if you miss processing packets,
you miss products.
re:
> Besides the noaaport ingest lines I added in ldmd.conf.
Again, we recommend that all processing be done on a machine which is
being fed from a NOAAPort ingest machine.
On the downstream machine, you would need to setup an LDM pattern-action
file action that stitches together the ABI L2 tiles being sent in
NOAAPort into full scenes. If you are also interested in the other
L2 products in NOAAPort, you will need to process them appropiately
also (e.g., strip off NOAAPort broadcast headers and footers to leave
the underlying netCDF4 files). One of the developers here created a
Python 3 script that handles the stitching together of tiles into
full scenes. That code can be found in the ldm-alchemy package in
the Unidata section of GitHub:

OK, this is a big job.
re:

Hopefully, there will be soon a new release of GEMPAK that fixes the problem
that
one user has reported. There is no estimate for when this may be at the moment.
Cheers,
Tom
