similar to: Multiple ISP Links - Gateway Not Getting Restored

Hello, I have configured a load balancing router using Julian''s patches and as described in "nano.txt" for two ISP links as shown below. ISP 1 ISP 2 . . | | | | | | | WAN

I configured multiple isp (actually only multiple gw) according http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html. Now NAT (Internet) seems to work, both external interfaces work ( I didnt configure load balancing because I dont need it). However I have problem that I can not ping from NAT to public ip of my Linux box. Problem is that I can not connect from 192.168.1.0/24 network to services

Dear Sir, Please help me in building the right solution. My requirement is: 1st I want to club both ISP bandwidth to get 512kbps. 2nd, In normal condition, it should be in Load balancing. 3rd , In ISP Failover condition, traffic will automatically route to working ISP. What I have: I have installed the RHEL 3.0 with 3 Network Card. Kernel is 2.4.21-9EL I have the link from two ISP both

Hello! I read the Split access and Load balancing sections into LARTC (Chapter 4). However I have one gateway only and the LARTC says about 2 links. I need to know how to make a load balance with my links. Thanks in advance. Eriberto - Brazil

Hi, A friend of mine has 2 lines of 512kbps terminated in two Linux boxes. He now want to remove those 2 boxes and have some device which will loadbalance the two ISPs and also have a failover arrangement. But he has agreed to give me a chance to do it on Linux for my own satisfication. Is this easy to do with lartc? How do I go about it exactly? I have very less time to do it since his

Hi There, I am also trying to do the same for my network. I have two links from different ISPs and I want to configure a failover and load balancing Linux router. I am facing same problem here, that how to detect link failure and let Linux box switch the gateway. I know it works when the first gateway is physically down and not reachable. But what to do if my link is up but there is problem

Hello guys, I have two ISP's connected to my router. One via eth2, second one via ADSL modem, with ppoe doing on my Centos 5 . The problem I have is, that when ADSL fails , interface ppp0 is removed. This also removes my static routes configured for this interface. I do not want that, as I have load balancing configured and default route is removed when ppp0 interface disapears. This is my

I have a doubt. If you use such a script monitoring the link status with ping and then reconfiguring, why do you need the DGD patch? You need to do some reconfiguration (change multipath to a single default route) anyway if you use the script, right? Also, the DGD patch uses src to lookup the routing table entry, but if you have a dynamic IP for the WAN interface (PPPoE, DHCP etc), this approach

Hello all! I applied http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/routes-2.6.8-10.diff patch to kernel 2.6.8.1 and it works fine, or almost fine. It does the load balancing well, but when one link is dropped it continues to try it. At the end of http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt it is said to ping gateway 1 and gateway 2, for the kernel to know if that route is working, but since my linux is connected to the links

Hi, I am using Shorewall 2.0.6 on Debian with iptables 1.29. Before I was using Shorewall 2.0.3 and If work correctly, I am not sure that my problems begin after upgrade to 2.0.6, but my problem is that I can''t see some websites on the pc clients ( such as www.microsoft.com ), but some websites yes ( they are not in the pc cache ). My config is Shorewall as gateway/router of

I have built a fedora 3 test box that has 4 pptp client vpn''s from my T-1 to a Group of businesses (test environment). The businesses all have pptp vpn concentrators on their ends. The purpose is that all of the businesses will be at an offsite location together for a 3 day sale. I have the box working now with the latest ver of shorewall with two nics on this fedora box eth0 will

Hello, Does CentOS 5.4 support large ( > 2 TB) external storage devices using GPT (GUID Partition Tables), while the main OS resides on smaller hard disks using MBR. In this scenario, what can be the largest possible size of an ext3 partition (and filesystem) which can be created on the storage array under CentOS 5.4 ? Thanks, Manish

Hello, On the Intel Core 2 Duo processor based systems, we have the option of installing either x86_64 or the i386 distribution. I would like to know your experiences with the x86_64 port. How does it compare with the i386 distribution in terms of stability, reliability and performance ? How significant are the performance benefits gained by using the x86_64 linux instead of i386 on the same

Has anyone created or rebuilt a Linux Software RAID having mirrored partitions on unequal sized hard disks ? There is a CentOS 5 server having two 400 GB hard disks with five mirrored partitions (software RAID 1) and one of the hard disks is dying. Since new 400 GB HDDs are not available here, we are exploring the possibility of replacing the faulty hard disk with one of a higher capacity (500 GB

Hi all! After that good thread "DGD patch not detecting dead gateway" I was able to set up a Load Balancing with ping based DGD (without Julian Anastasov patch). But now I''m facing a new problem and tried some options, with only partial solutions. I made a script based on http://www.mail-archive.com/lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl/msg16257.html (Thank you Manish Kathuria),

I have recently installed CentOS 6 on a system with a Realtek 8180L wireless card. The wireless card is detected properly and uses the rtl8180 driver. But it connects to our wireless network only after logging to the Desktop Environment (GNOME) and using the Network Manager Applet. In order to make the wireless card connect to the network automatically at system start up, I edited the Connection

Hello, Is there any command / option available on CentOS to expire a user's password immediately ? I remember using "passwd -e" on some other distribution but the -e option does not seem to be present on CentOS 5.x. Thanks, Manish

Hello, This is on Centos 6 and not something I think is wrong with Centos 6 but I am looking to see if anybody else has experienced this and if there is solution. So thanks up front for indulging me. Because Linux makes routing decisions before SNAT it is causing problems when trying to use FTP with two upstream providers in a load balanced setup. Other than ftp, things seem to work OK. Below

I am facing problems assigning the owner and group to an ext3 filesystem being mounted from an external storage. I created a mount point /vol and changed its owner and group to alpha and beta respectively (as required). The ext3 filesystem (LV from the external storage) was then mounted on /vol using the mount command. However, after mounting the filesystem the owner and group of /vol changed
