Ubuntu Networking :: Change Network Device For Default Inet Gateway?
Oct 21, 2010
I've been struggeling with this for a few hours now, googleing and so on trying to find an easy way to just switch which device I want as primary for internet connections. After long battles I'm at a loss, this is the current automatic routing
Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
85.225.76.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
85.225.76.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0
I installed openSUSE on one of my work system. The network port wasn't working when I was installing, but works fine now (checked in Windows). But for some reason, I am not able to configure the network. I used both Dynamic and Static IPs (both work fine in Windows) but still no go. I am using Yast Control Center for this purpose. I can't even ping the default gateway when I am using custom settings. When I use dynamic settings, it says Unreachable Network.
I installed ZTE MF 626 modem in my F10 with kernel 2.6.27.12-170, i run usb_modeswitch and so far things happened normally. Watching through /var/log/messages it says that F10 detects two port device for this modem: ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2, and in the sequence it disable port ttyUSB1 BUT Network Manager still set this port.I mean, when i connect via wvdial appointing to ttyUSB2 i get connection, but Network Manager fails to do it appointing to ttyUSB1. How to change device port in Network Manager?
I recently upgraded a 11.0 installation running on Xen Server to 11.3. I am experiencing frequent network disconnections now. The ip address and default gateway is assigned statically. However, the system seems to ignore the default gateway after a while. Then after several minutes it seems like it comes back.

When my sessions suddenly die and I have to coax it into routing correctly again.
I'm using comcast, and I setup my server, everything works fine.But later I found out that the server inet address is changing everyday, and it makes my server almost not accessible.Is there anyway to fix that problem??
I have installed ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty server from disk. I am connect to my corporate internet. I have put in my http_proxy everywhere I can find to put it. I am getting an ipaddress, gateway, broadcast,etc. My wired is connected. When I try to ping my default gateway it times out. %100 packet loss. I get the ipaddress of the gateway from the (route command).
My configurations on /etc/network/interfaces is correct(I am on another computer so I can't copy and paste) and I even tried updating the drivers for NIC card. I am using a Intel 82567LM-3. I have been working on this longer than I care to admit.
I had a router crap out yesterday. I'd been testing out a new one for the last few days and just reconfigured it to be the main. Took the old one down and everything in my house (Windows 7 PC, XP Files server, Ubuntu PC , windows 7 laptop, android tablet, ps3, etc) seems to be working fine whether it be hard wired or wifi. All except my ubuntu 10.04 laptop. It worked fine before the swap so I can't figure out what's going on.
I'm able to connect to the new SSID without issue but I can't resolve any external names and when I try to ping the default gate way every other packet has (DUP!) behind it. If I'm hardwired I don't get the dup! when pinging the default gateway but I still can't resolve any external names. I have provided the results of an ifconfig and the results of a ping to the default gateway below.

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.
I have a computer with two interfaces: a fixed connection (eth1) and a modem (ppp0). My goal is to receive UDP packets from both connections concurrently (using the recv() function). The problem is, that the received packets reach the application only when the default gateway is set to that interface's address. For example, if I set the default gw to be in the eth1 subnet, only packets from eth1 reach the application. Other packets are received in the interface (checked using tcpdump), but they seem to be blocked somewhere. The policy defined in iptables is "ACCEPT" for all incoming packets, with no rules at all. I would like to know how to overcome this problem, and anyway how is the default gateway related to incoming UDP?
I have a dual-homed Debian server running squid, but not acting as a router. Simplied network diagram is below - there are other local hops between the gateways and the Internet.
Code: (eth0 @ 192.168.44.2) <--> (Gateway1 @ 192.168.44.1) <--> Internet (eth1 @ 192.168.55.2) <--> (Gateway2 @ 192.168.55.1) <--> Internet
Using Gateway1 gives a very fast, but not always reliable route to the Internet. Using Gateway2 gives a slower, but more reliable route to the Internet. The server uses Gateway1 as the default gateway.
I have written a script that pings three hosts on the Internet, and if all three are down, switches the default gateway to Gateway2. This part seems to be easy, but I'd like know if there is a way of routing a ICMP/ping out eth0 to a host, with all other traffic to the host going out eth1, so I can determine if the Internet is reachable via Gateway1 again.
I am realtively new to BGP. I use BGP in my network to advertise my /20 subnet. What i would like to know is what is the point of accepting routes from your neighbouring AS(ISP)?My ISP has given me a default gateway, and no matter what I want to reach on the internet I have to go through that default gateway, so why populate the routing table with soo many routes?also, as i understand it, there are 3 kinds of routes that you can accept, those are full routes, directly connected routes and default routes. What is the diffrence between them and again how do they affect routing since my network only has the one default gateway?
I posted it on another forum, but could not get response,So I have this cenOS, Ubuntu and windows operating system running on virtual machines.Now I gave them manual ip address, both ubuntu and windows machines can ping the default gateway, but not the CentOS.It should forward 0.0.0.0. to my cisco router address(192.168.5.254),
I'm looking for a method to assign a default gateway via dhcp randomly depending on ether the last char of the mac being odd or even, or the time the user connects. Is there a good reliable way to achieve this?
I have installed dhcp-server on ubuntu. And server is providing ip address to clients (Window machines) but not default-gateway but I have another network in my network and same configuration and same dhcp-server provides every information.
I need to place an Ubuntu machine on a network where I have a DHCP server which does not configure the Degault Gateway parameter (we don't want ordinary users to browse the internet). Is it possible to leave the machine using DHCP and define the Default Gateway manually (as in Windows XP i.e.)? How?
Struggling to get my Linux server accept ICMP redirects not originating from default gateway. No problem to get it working if the redirects is originating from def gw.I know it's not a good solution security wise, but my network is so cluttered I'm forced to do so.
Client which uses an ISP with a Linux machine (Server 1) with two network cards. Eth0 with ip 1.1.1.2 and gateway 1.1.1.1 these ip's is not public ip's and falls unders the isp's internal range, eth1 with the internal ip range. OpenVPN listen on eth0 for incoming connections. We want to connect to Server1 from external networks. Due to different reasons the isp could not get the routing sorted and give us an public ip on his network. We had to setup another bos (Server2) with eth0 2.2.2.5 and gateway 2.2.2.1 which is public ip's and eth1 with ip 3.3.3.5. Server 2 can communicate via the ISP internal network with server 1. I use DNAT to forward all incoming connections on server 2 to server 1 but the problem I have is that server uses its default gateway for the return packages and does not sent the reply back to server 2. My iptables rules looks as follows on server 2.
I'm using OpenWRT on a WRT54GS. I'm using wifidog in combination with openvpn. For those of you familiar with wifidog, my auth server is located at the other end of an openvpn tunnel and the "wifi dog gateway" is running on the WRT itself. I'm don't really think that wifi dog is the issue. Basically, I'm using openvpn with the "redirect-gateway" option which works well. In this mode, openvpn removes my current default gateway setting and adds the remote openvpn server as the default gateway (as it should). However, overnight, my default gateway on the local network keeps reapperaing (along with the openvpn one as well).
This causes confusion and I don't want any packets (But ovbiously the connection to the actual openvpn server) to go down this local gateway. Why do you think it reappears? Do you reckon openvpn is dropping connection and somehow the normal gateway is being added back? I *could* run a cron script which runs every minute or so with something like "route del default gw xx.xx.xx.xx" (where xx.xx.xx.xx is the default gateway which I don't want to be there) but that is quite messy and means that if I were to ever move the router I would need to reconfigure this and considering that I would like in the future to have many of these wifi dog gateways, this really isn't an ideal option (as every network will have a different default gateway).
I could not able to configure the default gateway ip address onto the system. i use the route command (" route add default gw 192.xxx.xxx.xxx eth0 ") to add a default gateway onto the routing table but it is "disappear" in the routing table when i had restart the service network.
I recently bought a logitech headset which is working very nice, the thing is that I cannot make it my default device when I plug it in. I edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to make snd-usb-audio the default card but it only works when the computer is turned on with the headset plugged in. A workaround is to plug it and then "alsa force-reload" but I find it very ugly plus it kills all apps using audio and leaves the volume indicator unstable.
I just added a 2 port network card to a system that is running Fedora 11, but it is INACTIVE. I open the Network Device Control to activate it but there is no network ports in Network Device Control. It is empty.It looks like the system recognize the card and loaded correct driver.
I recently installed a new sound card, and I need to find out how to change the default device. Currently, I'm dual-booting Windows, and I had re-enabled the on-board audio in the PC's bios. After doing that, Debian started detecting that on-board as the default sound device. Is there a way to set my sound card to be used instead? I found out that the 'alsaconf' utility has been phased out. I"m currently running Debian testing, for amd64.
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?

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'm having a strange problem. I'm using Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS and I want to setup a system with 2 network interfaces: eth0 and eth1. However eth1 does not come up at boot I have a screenshot of my /etc/network/interfaces file I don't see what is wrong. eth0 gets it's adress from DHCP eth1 gets a static adress. When i try to restart networking it quits with this message "don't seem to be have all the variables for eth1 inet" Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong? if i do 'sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up' eth1 comes up
I'd like to use one of the popular USB wireless modems for Internet access. If Linux supports this, I assume that the required driver is in the kernel, and that connection would be automatic. Has anyone had experience with this?
I have two network card in my computer. 1. eth0 is set to automatic obtain IP from provider (DHCP) 2. wifi0 is set to static IP (local) 192.168.1.1
My ifcfg-wifi0 is configure in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wifi0 as below # Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC DEVICE=wifi0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 HWADDR=00:17:9A:75:48:37
my /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=pc1.homeserver.in
eth0 IP is connected to broadBand internet service provider device WiMax and IP change time to time from internet service provider. How can I get IP for gateway in /etc/sysconfig/network. I am using Redhat enterprise Linux 4.
I have a network gateway system which runs redhat 7 (2.2.16) Firewall running is ipchains Internal network is eth0 192.168.5.1 External network is eth1 99.99.99.98 (example add)
My problem when I change the static address of the external network from 99.99.99.99 to 99.99.99.98 I am not able to connect to internet. From my preliminary investigation ip is not binded to network card., but I am not sure, is there a way to check binding accurately Below is the ifcfg-eth1 file contents
