General :: Get Ppp Interface Gateway Address In Debain 6
Jun 10, 2011
I am using debain 6 and using a Sierra modem c888 to connect internet. I am using wvdial package for connecting the modem. I am able to connect internet. The question I have is, how do get the gateway address of the newly created ppp0 interface?
Im trying to achieve the multiple uplinks/provider found on LARTC.org. I have to get the IP addresses from my interfaces (EF1 and EF2) by using a script, but i dont know where to look at for the default gateway from each interface which got their ip address from my ISP.
As a new user I like to know how to configure ip address, gateway etc in ubuntu 9.10. I used opensuse 11.1, their I can manage to do these but ubuntu I did not find anything.
What is the Linux command to clear IP address of an interface without bringing it down and/or restarting network services. Seems strange ifconfig is able to change IP address but has no option to clear it, or am I wrong?
EDIT:As simple as ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0. They should have put it in the man
where are the interface configurations (set by ifconfig, not the static ones) stored? I'm asking because I'm trying to understand, more broadly, the order of IP address lookup. If I ping the local machine (localhost, or one of the interfaces) no messages get sent out (at least according to wireshark), so some local lookup must be taking place.
I have a requirement of switch between wireless network with a single wireless device. First it should be switched to adhoc mode and then after sometime switch to infrastructure mode to establish internet connection. Everything works fine except the gateway settings.
I have used: system("route add default gw x.x.x.x dev wlan0") to set the gateway, where x.x.x.x is gatewayip address. I have used this whenever switching happens in addition to ifconfig command to set the ip address and netmask. But this is not setting the gateway ip address. How to set gateway IP address?
System details below OS :CentoS 5.3 Kernel :2.6.18
I have just changed my gateway address,now I can access internet with my browser but unable to run add/remove software as it says no network connection available,system updates are not working as well. What should I do make these working?
Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
I need to change the static configuration, like I 169.254.0.0, I don't know how it got there also I want to delete 192.168.1.1 from a static gateway. How can I do this?
I would like to configure the eth0 manually. I can configure the ip address and sub-netmask but the system can't hold my gateway ip address (I added). It will keep it 0.0.0.0. I have no problem when I getting IP address from DHCP server.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and my setup is as follows:
As you can see, I am directly connected to router 192.168.25.1, and so my ip address is 192.168.25.101. I want my ip address to be 192.168.13.101, and make router 192.168.13.1 my gateway router. Is this possible under the current physical layout (I do not want to have to connect directly into 192.168.13.1, but keep my computer where it is at)?
When I run tracepath, it shows 192.168.13.1 is one hop away.
What I've tried:
The problem is under this manual setup, I cannot ping 192.168.13.1 and running command netstat -rn returns the following:
I have trouble getting a gateway to the internet when setting eth0 with a fixed IP address. The gateway address (192.168.2.1 my modem/router) resets to 0.0.0.0 whenever I apply the changes. DHCP works fine but I need a fixed address for my server.
I have 17 system (sys1,sys2,sys3.....sys17) in my office, and i am willing to setup a dedicated system to act as a firewall for that i have selected sys1 with two NIC(eth0 for local network and eth1 for internet) and i have configured to access internet in my office for that i have opened a wellknown port 80.but my clients are not accessing the internet..
and please check my sample IP configuration !!!
interface : eth1 (ISP IP)just for example IP :192.168.0.2 gateway:192.168.0.1 dns:202.56.230.5 dns:202.56.230.6
Interface : eth0 (my local lan )
192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
IP address of xp clients ranges form 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.16 with default 255.255.255.0
my question is that which gateway address and dns i have to give to my clients for accessing internet ?...
I have Debian (Kernel 2.6.26-2-686) installed on two computers. On one of them it reboots quite finely but I am having following problem with rebooting Debian on my second computer.When i type reboot at the linux prompt, following messages appear and system hangs up after saying "Restarting System":
The difference that I noted between my two computers is that I don't have ACPI support in the BIOS of the system which is giving me this error whereas the BIOS of my first computer do have ACPI support on which Debain do not give this Restart hanging problem.I have also disabled running the acpid script by running Code: update-rc.d -f acpid remove.
I downloaded debain 5.0 on a computer and like a dummy I did not write down what I was using for passwords. There was a icon on the left hand bottom corner that I hit on the log in page that took me to a gray blueish screen where there is an "X" in the middle of screen that I can move with my mouse. no matter how many times I reboot I get this screen How do I get back to log-in page or do I start over and re- install?
How can i find out what mac address had been configured by factory default. I changed my mac address with
Code:
ip link set addrs 00:01:02:03:04:05
and now want to have the original one back. I'm having some trouble with a gigabit LAN PCI Express card. Namely the 89156 from delock. Output of dmesg
Code:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 4.137225] r8169 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 4.137268] r8169 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 4.137346] r8169 0000:02:00.0: irq 27 for MSI/MSI-X
[code]....
So the card was recognized by the kernel. The driver was loaded and everything fine.... should be! But after assigning an ip addr and setting the nic up with
Code:
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth1 ip link set dev eth1 up
the kernel complained about something like that
Code:
?SISTEM? Can't assign address Also I could not find anything useful on the net finally the readme gave me some. So i changed the MAC address and everything was fine. The nic came up and got an ip through dhclient.i want to know why the old/original mac address didn't work. But even after reboot the new mac address remains. All I know the old one begun with 7b. how to get the original mac of a nic?
When I do ifconfig than IPv6 address is appearing on an interface. However when I run the system-config-network and select to edit same interface than it shows the normal ip4 192.168.1.x address. Why is it like that? ipv4 at one place and ipv6 at other?
I recently just upgraded from humble Linux user to confused Linux admin of my own virtual Linux server. When I issue the ifconfig command I get following output.
Code:
venet0:0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:1.2.3.4 P-t-P:1.2.3.4 Bcast:1.2.3.4 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
The WAN IP of the interface is not really 1.2.3.4 I just changed that IP for security reasons.What I am trying to figure out, is it possible to assign a private IP address to the same interface or can I only have one IP address per interface. I understand I have a mask of /32 so I am not going to be able to subnet the address to create any more addresses, so I assume I am stuck with the WAN IP (public IP) that I have, and just need to deal with it.
The reason I ask this is because I have been reading through several DNS/BIND tutorials/walk-throughs, and a lot of them specify setting up a intranet access with 192.168.1.1 address for the local DNS server, but since I am connecting to the sever via SSH I figure I do not need a private IP address.
is it possible to set up a "gateway" with just one network interface? Basically, I have a cable wireless router which is connected to the internet. I want to have my network use a transparent proxy, however, the transparent proxy is on an ARM computer with only one network interface. So the proxy will act as the "gateway", which then forwards all external request to the Cable modem.
[Code]...
Now, I need the cable modem to be in the same network, because I want to use it's wireless access point... Do I need to have two subnets? one between the Cable modem and the proxy, and then a second subnet as a virtual interface on the proxy to communicate with all the computers?
Notice the 2 in address. Seems to me it doesn't like the network and wants it to be 172.16.0.0, but I am adding to a network already configured this way.
how to do a virtual interface under linux. I'm using for example eth0:1 so ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 for example.
However if i do eth0:1 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 It changes eth0 as well. Where should i look into for creating a separate virtual interface that's simply bridged with one of the existing interfaces that has a separate ip and hw address that the os handles.
I've got a server that has bond0 and bond1 setup. I'm documenting some things in case I need to failover and bring up my secondary server up as primary... I just need to know if simply creating the interface ifcfg-bond0:0 with a new IP address obviously of the crashed system,,, is all that needs done or do I need to load bond0:0 module in /etc/modules.conf also?
Someone just erased my HWADDR line from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. How can I obtain my original MAC address?
Code:
ifconfig eth0 does not work (it shows the wrong MAC address) since the HWADDR line from the file I mentioned above was erased. Also there is no ifcfg-eth0.bak backup configuration file.
Just curious, because it seems my wireless connection works regardless of whether or not the MAC address is listed there. I'm just curious why that option is there to add it if it works regardless.
I want to configure multiple virtual ethernet interfaces over a single physical ethernet interface (eth0) and for each virtual interface the MAC address must be unique and the IP address must be Static.Finally all the virtual interfaces must be able to communicate both internally and externally and the traffic should be captured using wireshark.
I need to have such kind of setup to communicate devices individually using one physical ethernet device.
Because I was fiddling with few kernel modules like MACVLAN and MACVTAP and successfully enabled those modules and rebuild kernel. Using macvlan and macvtap I can configure virtual interfaces with unique mac address and static IPs but while capturing packets using wireshark interfaces behave weirdly.
For example say on HOST machine I have 1 physical interface and created 3 virtual interfaces as shown below.
First from above interfaces I started pinging eth0 internally from host machine in which it worked as usually.
Second I did same externally from other machine which is connected to the same network of Host machine, and this did work as usually.
Third I pinged first virtual interface veth0 both internally and externally and this also works and after that I did check source and destination MAC address using wireshark tool-where both showed up there respective MAC address.
Now triggers the issue, where I pinged second virtual interface same like I did for first one, but this time ping was success and where as in wireshark tool the MAC address for veth0 is picked by veth1. This is where I got stuck and this issue happened for all the remaining virtual interfaces.
I couldn't see any virtual interface showing their respective MAC address, as of the remaining except the first virtual interface has been picking the first veth0 mac address.
On startup of my pc (ubuntu 10.04 server x64), samba bind itself only to loopback network interface, as i can see when i do netstat -an , preventing me to enter in my shares from a remote pc.
Here is my configuration regarding samba network:
Code: interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.0/24 bind interfaces only = yes and my /etc/network/interface Code: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback code....
Any idea fo speed up my bridge configuration or to force samba to wait unitl the bridge is ready?
i am using windows 7 in my laptop and linux is installed on virtualBox but my problem is the screen is showing small in virtualbox is there any way to enalarge the screen to show like windows screen? i did before by using VGA setting but it made problem me i was not able to use GUI interface i meant graphics interface it was just showing me Command Prompt.
