similar to: "RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument" when adding default multipath route

I have two internet lines and I want to do equal cost loadbalancing on the two uplinks to the internet. This is what I do: ip route add 200.200.200.0/24 dev eth2 table 200 ip route add default via 200.200.200.254 dev eth2 table 200 ip route add 100.100.100.0/24 dev eth1 table 100 ip route add default via 100.100.100.254 dev eth1 table 100 ip route add 200.200.200.0/24 src 200.200.200.1 dev eth2

Hi, i''m trying to do loadbalancing with a linux embedded with a MIPS procesor, but I''m in trouble. I have the kernel 2.4.20, and iproute2 ss010824. I compiled without errors, but when I executed the ip comand to install de mutipath default route I get the following error (all the previous commands have been executed according to the LARTC-HOWTO in section 4.2): linux# ip route

Hi, I have a linux box connected to two leased lines as follows: _/\__/\_ / \ +--------+ +------------+ ( Internet )----+ Router | | SMTP server| \_ __ _/ +----+---+ +------+-----+ \/ \/ | 200.200.200.254 | 100.100.100.2\ -+-------+----- ... ---------+-- 100.100.100.1\ | 200.200.200.1 +-+--+--+ | Linux | +---+---+ _/\__/\_ 192.168.1.1 |

Can someone tell me what concept I''m missing here. The setup is simple. I have two default routes after ifup operations. I use "ip route del" to remove one, but then decide to add it back. The attempt is refused. Why? # ip route ls 66.95.83.208/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 66.95.83.210 65.84.205.96/27 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 65.84.205.104

I downloaded iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss010824.tar.gz and I did patched tc with the htb3.6_tc.diff from htb3.6-020525.tgz and when I try to use a htb script I get just errors. I did not patch the kernel, since I use kernel 2.4.21 and I saw on - HTB Homepage that I need to patch it only if I run version 2.4.20 or earlier. Do also need the kernel patch ? Or maybe is something else wrong? RTNETLINK

I am a Linux novice. I have set up a Linux Router that is running the 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 kernel. I boot to an initial router state and then I experiment with various "tc" commands by executing them at the command prompt. I reboot often to restore the initial state. When I booted up the router today I got the following messages during the boot process: Bringing up interface eth0:

Hi, On this Fedora Core Devel (Raw Hide) system, if I boot on a distribution kernel (based on 2.6.12rc1-bk2) the network is fine. If I build a custom 2.6.12-rc1-V0.7.43-06 or 2.6.12-rc1-mm4 kernel the network interface fails to initialise on boot with RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument. What can possibly cause this ? My kernel config should be mostly fine - I used it extensively at a time and

Hi All, We are running a 2.4.20 kernel, with the htb modules loaded, and are receiving the RTNETLINK error when trying to filter on handles. We also have the latest tc downloaded from htb site, and verified it is the executable being executed. We have tracked it to the {handle 1 fw} portion. Hardware is 4501 Soekris and WISP-Dist latest, patched with latest tc. Any ideas on what would cause

Hi All, concerning the problem when running the "ip ru ls" command. I faced with the same problem, and I solved it by making sure to include the following settings into the kernel configuration (2.4.18): CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y <=== CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y <=== CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_NAT=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_TOS=y

Hi List, I am new at this and trying to set up shorewall. I was using mnf-en to do it but it was using an old version of shorewall (shorewall-2.0.8-2mdk) and didn''t have the features I wanted. So I''ve installed shorewall-2.4.0-1mdk. Other bits of interest: iproute2-2.6.10-1mdk iptables-1.2.9-8mdk I''m trying to get the providers feature working. show capabilities:

When I run this: tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: protocol ip prio 1 handle 1 fw I get: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument The traditional interpretation of that gnarly error message is that cls_fw is missing, but lsmod | grep cls_fw gets me: cls_fw 2336 4 (autoclean) I can''t remove it because it''s in use, but all 4 statements that use it failed, so

First of all i wanna thanks Christoph Simon for the support. Only after his reply to my email i could see the real solution to the problem (Valeu mesmo cara... me ajudou pra caramba! Fico te devendo essa!) :) Here is what i learned in a month of research: I tried A LOT of things to do load balance, including the one at LARTC homepage. The only tutorial that REALLY works in my case is the
