General :: Set Up Routing Over Two Network Interfaces

Sep 9, 2011

I'm often on my corporate network but also need to be on another network simultaneously. At the moment I have to manually switch back and forth between the two. I'm using ubuntu 10.04. I've come across an excellent document that explains how to do this: "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO" by Bart Hubert. He mentions:

make sure that your kernel is compiled with the "IP: advanced router" and "IP: policy routing" features

I've downloaded the kernel sources, but I don't find any config options with names like these in them.

sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

Searching doesn't reveal anything

~/kernelBuild/linux-2.6.35/debian.master$ grep -iR policy . | grep -i routing
~/kernelBuild/linux-2.6.35/debian.master$

So my question is...how can I tell if the kernel I have has these config options. Failing that, how do I build a kernel that does support these things?

Additional use cases for this knowledge. (1) At work with desktop computer plugged into corporate network. Plug 3g phone into USB port. My corporate network wont allow me to access my external servers over ssh, but the 3g phone will. (2) At home on the corporate VPN, but would like to access my other local network computers.

Networking :: Routing Via Aliased Interfaces In RHEL

Apr 7, 2011

I am having following problem:

RHEL 5.5 won't accept specifying an aliased interface (e.g. eth1:0) when I add a new host route to the routing table of a machine with multiple Ethernet interfaces. I have read that this works with Ubuntu, but RHEL gives problems. It only understands the interface card (e.g. either eth0 or eth1, but does not understand the aliased virtual interfaces within say eth0 or eth1).

As such, when I try to reach a host in the same subnet with the aliased interface and after adding that route to the routing table, Redhat won't reach that host.

Ubuntu Networking :: Adding Interfaces To /etc/network/interfaces?

Apr 16, 2010

If I try to add a new interface (eth1) to /etc/network/interfaces, I get

Code:
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device

[Code]...

How do I add 2 interfaces and get anyone of them to work, as available ?

General :: Get Wvdial To Run From /etc/network/interfaces?

Dec 23, 2010

I am using wvdial to connect to a mobile network (I have a usb modem) and it works fine. However, I wanted to automate the connection a bit (currently I am running wvdial every time I want to connect). I was wandering if there is a way to add this network to /etc/network/interfaces (in a truly Debian way) to have it connect on startup and/or whenever I connect my modem.

General :: Route Different Applications Through Different Network Interfaces?

Jan 13, 2011

Is it possible to route different applications through different network interfaces?

Let's say (hypothetically) I want to route /usr/bin/thunderbird through vlan0 but /usr/bin/firefox through eth0.

Is there a way? And if so, is there a graphical tool for it as well?

General :: Bridging Network Interfaces Hangs On Getting IP

Aug 14, 2011

I have two physical NICs (eth2 & eth3) with eth2 connecting to the home router/dhcp server and eth3 connecting to another machine which needs access to the internet. I'm trying to create a bridge so that the second machine on eth3 can be connected on the lan. I've tried the following, however it hangs when attempting to get an IP address from the router. Likewise, attempting to give it a static route doesn't seem to work either.

$ sudo aptitude install bridge-utils
$ sudo ifconfig eth2 down
$ sudo ifconfig eth3 down
$ sudo brctl addbr br0
$ sudo brctl addif br0 eth2 eth3
$ sudo dhclient br0 # this hangs and fails to get a dhcp address

I've tried to ensure my routing table mimics what it looks like when using eth2 normally, I cannot hit the gateway at all.

$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 br0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0

I attempted an 'arping' to the MAC address of the router while I had eth2/3 bridged, but it failed to obtain it's IP address as well. One interesting thing I noticed was that attempting to bring down the bridge & reactivate my internet on eth2, I was having trouble pinging the gateway. It turned out 'ipmasq' had been installed and was running causing odd problems. When I stopped the ipmasq service, my internet started working properly again. I removed the 'ipmasq' package entirely and tried bridging the NICs again thinking it may have been causing problems, but it still failed.

General :: List Only The Device Names Of All Available Network Interfaces?

Oct 25, 2010

I want to get a list of all available Network-Device Names on my Linux server. I figured that

netstat -a

would do the job, however netstat produces quite much output:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 08:00:27:fc:5c:98
inet Adresse:192.168.2.222 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Maske:255.255.255.0
inet6-Adresse: fe80::a00:27ff:fefc:5c98/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metrik:1

[Code]....

I assume that this can be done by a combination of "cat", "sed" and "grep", but I have simply no clue of how to strip the uneccessary information.

General :: /etc/network/interfaces Doesn't Get Loaded Automatically

Feb 17, 2011

In Ubuntu 9.10 I configured manually network settings to /etc/network/interfaces, and it works fine when I run /etc/init.d/networking restart.

Problem is that those settings are not loaded to GUI application (Preferences/Network connections).

I don't want to edit my preferences there, I just want to use my interfaces file as default! Do you know what's going on?

Networking :: Routing To Internet Through One Network And To Local Ips In Another Network?

Mar 31, 2009

I have two networks. One of them is wired, the other is wireless. The wired has an internet connection and a few other computers connected to it. The wireless network has a few hosts connected to it too, but it has no internet connection. What I've been trying, fruitlessly, to do, is make all connections that are bound to the internet, or my wired network, be routed that way, and all the connections to the hosts of the wireless network go that way.

Here's the setup..

Wired:

192.168.1.0/24 Gateway = 192.168.1.1

Route internet through here

Wireless

192.168.2.0/24 Gateway = 192.168.2.1

If my computer sends a packet to the internet, it should be routed through 192.168.1.1 If I send a packet to one of the local hosts of the wireless network, it should be routed through 192.168.2.1. Here's the routing table I've set up(This is one of many configurations I've tried)

Code:

$ ip route show
192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 scope link
192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 src 192.168.2.4

[code]....

With this, and everything else, I get destination host unreachable when pinging. The strange thing is that, if I unplug my eth cable, reboot and connect to the wireless network, everything is fine and I can access the router and the others. I'm trying to improve my networking skills, as I've had this of setting up a small linux box as a router for quite some time, for the fun of it, but I need to get routing under control before I go ruin my network.

OpenSUSE Network :: Can't Get Interfaces To Come Up Without IPs

Apr 19, 2010

I'm trying to configure OpenSuSE 11.2 with Open vSwitch, and I'm having trouble getting various interfaces to come up automatically when I have bootmode set to "none." startmode is set to auto (or on - tried both), and bootmode set to none, with no IP address assigned in the file. At boot time, I get the message that it's bringing up eth0, for example, but when I log in and check, the interface is not up. Also, if I try "ifup eth0", I get the following output:

xen-users:~ # ifup eth0
eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

but the interface is not brought up. why SuSE is saying that it's bringing up the interface successfully, but is actually not bringing it up?

Networking :: IP Routing WirelessLAN And Ethernet In Same Network

Feb 1, 2010

My hardware has two interfaces: a) ethernet - eth0 b) WirelessLAN - eth1.After power on, eth1 gets associated to WirelessLAN access point.

The ethernet interface of Hadrware and test PC is directly connected to Wireless LAN access point through ethernet cable. Hardware is associated to Wireless LAN access point through eth1 interface.Now, when ethernet cable is connected to hardware, I can ping 192.168.254.254 from test PC.When I removed ethernet cable from hardware, I cannot ping 192.168.254.253 from test PC.I think access point should forward the incoming packet from test pc to hardware's eth1 interface wirelessely. Where am I wrong? Is it related to Kernel's routing table? If yes, how to detect removal of ethernet cable from hardware and change routing table dynmically?

Networking :: Iptables Routing Packets On Same Sub-network

Feb 17, 2010

I am running into trouble while trying to set-up a iptables routing policy. I have two machines on the same sub-network (xxx.xxx.153.0). One of the machines is used as a default gw for the other (xxx.xxx.153.250 is a gateway for xxx.xxx.153.142 and xxx.xxx.153.254 is a gw for xxx.xxx.153.250). There is no explanation for why the xxx.xxx.153.250 is in the middle -- xxx.xxx.153.142 can go straight to xxx.xxx.153.254, but is is like that for now.I am trying to find an iptable rule to be executed on the xxx.xxx.153.250 machine to route the packets.

Ubuntu :: Installing The Two Network Interfaces?

Feb 26, 2010

On my desktop having a NIC 3Com, connected to the company intranet and correctly working, I have added a second NIC ( Realtek RTL-8139) to connect a second small network ( three devices, instrumentation) using static addressing.The new board seems to be rekognized by Ubuntu, indicating "auto eth1" in the Network connections dialog. When I try to configure the connection, the "Apply" button is always disabled, therefore I cannot activate it. The command lspci shows that the board has been recognized but when i sent the

lshw -c network

the response is:

*-network:0 DISABLED

Debian :: Still Can't Reload Network Interfaces?

Mar 24, 2011

So I've always asked this in the past when I get on a Debian system. This makes no sense to me but I just don't see how I restart network interfaces (i.e. eth0) on a standard Debian install. If I change the static I.P. address listed in /etc/network/interfaces from x.x.x.100 to x.x.x.101, I then assume I can simply do any of the following:

- /etc/init.d/networking stop | start
- ifdown eth0
- ifup eth0
- service networking stop
- service networking start

All the commands above do nothing. My only solution I know that works and implements the changes I've made is a complete system reboot which to me in Linux, is ridiculous. I've struggled with this over and over and nothing I do correctly assigns the new I.P. in the 'interfaces' file to the actual adapter. This isn't my single isolated Debian machine but every Debian machine I can get my hands on. Servers, workstations, VM's, any release, etc etc etc. Below is my interfaces configuration file:

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

OpenSUSE Network :: Configure My Server For Routing Between Vlans ?

I'm trying configure my server for routing between vlans, but I'm having troubles with my server after that vlans are set. I can create vlans and routing is OK, but when I trying remove a vlan, restart the network script or restart the server, the CLI freeze and then I can't do anything. Even Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Z isn't work. I can use other terminal or do other SSH connection (if the network interface used by ssh isn't crashed), but if I try use a ifconfig per example, crash again. The unique solution is restart the server. Nothing about this is found in the log.

Networking :: VPN And Routing - PC No Longer Visible On Local Network

I am using Network Manager to connect to a VPN server so that I can access some of the computers on the local network there. When I'm connected, I have two problems: All my internet traffic goes through the VPN. My computer is no longer visible on my local network. I waste a lot of time connecting and disconnecting the VPN. Is there any way I can set up a VPN so that I am still on my local network and only requests to 172.x.x.x go through the VPN. I suspect it can be done with iptables, but all the info about iptables goes WAY over my head.
