ERROR: Unable to determine the MAC address of 10.1.2.25 through interface "eth1"
Hello,
I am trying to solve this error. I have 4 providers on the same
interface, eth1 and one of them is down (the router have a hardware
problem now). When I tried to start the shorewall firewall it couldn''t
start because it couldn''t determine the MAC address of 10.1.2.25
gateway
because it is down. How could ignore this error ? I prefer to have the
shorewall up even the gateway is down.
Do you know hot to solve this error ?
Looking for bugs in the release notes, I have found in 4.2.9 the next
solved problem:
"
3) When Shorewall could not determine the MAC address of of a gateway
router where multiple providers are configured through the same
interface, invalid iptables-restore input was generated. This
resulted in an error message similar to the following:
iptables-restore v1.3.5: Bad mac address `-j''
"
I thought in the possibility of relation of my problem with that bug but
it seems that is not real relation.
I am using the 4.2.10 shorewall version.
Thank you.

My problem now is the different behaviour of backup server and production server. Messages in backup server when I run a "shorewall try .": Adding Providers... WARNING: Interface auna is not usable -- Provider web2 (4) not Added In production server I didn''t get this message but it seems to working in the same way as backup server. It detects that web2 provider is down but it is not showing any warning. The installations are the same (could be a little difference that I don''t know...), could you give a clue ?
