similar to: policy routing at its best

as you can see in the topic there is a problem with iproute2. ''ip rule show'' returns RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Dump terminated while ''ip route show'' for example returns the right output, what can possible be the problem here? the kernel is 2.4.18 and im not really sure with the version of iproute2. thanks for your help, tomas

Hello all, I am going through the LARTC howto to understand how the iproute2 works. But some concepts like Policy Routing, RPDB etc are not clear to me. I am pretty new to iproute, beeing using route command for long... From what I understand 1. rules (ip rule) tell how to select packets for routing and route (ip route) tell where to route the selected packets. 2. A collection of rules is

Hi, Is it possible to create a routing rule that depends on the source host/network, besides the target host/network? E.g. route everything from 192.168.0.x to 10.0.0.1, and route everything from 192.168.1.x to 10.0.0.1. TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.

Hello all, I need a virtual firewall/router solution. I''m thinking of a netscreen 1000 but I want to know if it can be done in Linux. Here is my idea: 1 Linux box 2 GigE interfaces 1 interface setup with a public IP address ($PUBIP) 1 interface setup with 802.1q VLAN trunking with 100 vlans assigned ($VLAN1-$VLAN100) a /25 subnet routed to $PUBIP from my core routers All $VLAN

Been running this for quite a while and noticed that have intermittent problems getting out. Find that if I ping the same site from 2 computers it may work on one and fail on the other. Also was surprised that some time they are going out different interfaces at the same time. Seems to work all the time from the firewall. Running 2.6.10 kernel with the multipath routing patches on a debian

Hi all, I''m trying to set up a computer with 2 routes to the internet, much as described at http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html .One of my interfaces (eth5, 192.168.2.2) is only used for traffic originating inside the network. The other (eth1, 192.168.1.2) is only used for a VPN, where all (udp) traffic originates from outside our network. I have created a second

Hi, I was wondering if somebody could assist me in the following I have a lan with a mail server, a fixed outside ip address leased line router at 10.1.1.1, and a dynamic outside ip address adsl router at 10.1.1.5 Our linux mail server always used to have the leased line router at 10.1.1.1, but now with our adsl, I''d like traffic to go across 10.1.1.5, I thought it would be straight

Hello, I have a Debian-Woody-3.0 Router with 3 NIC''s. Kernelversion 2.4.18 +------------+ +-------------+ | | | | |192.168.1.1 | | 192.168.2.1 | | DSL-Router | | ISDN-Router | +------------+ +-------------+ | |

Can someone refer me to any links which explain how to configure a stand alone linux host (not a router) with 2 ISP links in such a way that the traffic is distributed between the 2 ISPs ?

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

Hi all! I try to make port based routing, because a have two connections to the internet. My router is a "one disk floppy router for linux". It is a big router project www.fli4l.de. I try also to make a opt, it is like a plugin for this router. This project uses Kernel 2.2.19 compiled with libc5 (because it is small and you can use one floppy disk). At the moment, iproute2 is not

Hello all, I do not read C very well (especially kernel C). Though I have tried to muddle my way through an understanding of what''s going on in fib_hash.c, fib_rules.c, and route.c, I have not succeeded to my satisfaction, hence my post. I''m trying to document the general process of route selection, and have come up with the following overview. Could somebody point out any

Hi all, I have two internet connections, both connected to eth0 and eth1, one is 1mbit, the other one is 3mbit. Now I want to use _both_ at one time via round robin or such. Anyone have an idea/docu how to set that up?

Assuming if I have rules matching the same packet, the one chosen is the lower preference value or the high ? For example # ip rule list .... 100 from 192.168.1.0/24 lookup main 200 from all fwmark 5 lookup first ..... Packet is matching both rules, the one with priority/preference 100 or 200 is selected ? _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list /

I have two adsl lines on my linux firewall box and i want to do some load balance between them...i tried a lot of different things, but it isn´t working...Following the instructions of http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html i used the configuration above. using "iptraf" I can see some few packets using the ppp1 connection, but almost all the packets use ppp0 connection.

Hi, this might be a dumb question, but I''m not finding much information online. I''m trying to setup a 2.6 linux box to run nat across multiple upstream links as a simple way to aggregate bandwidth. I found the instructions in lartc section 4.2 (http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html) fairly clear and straightforward. I implemented those, and a couple of trivial

Hi all, Since the mail list receives a lot of repeated subjects (for example: "i have two adsl lines..."), maybe these specific issues should be treated on the LARTC Guide, or maybe if we had an wiki? Is there a LARTC Wiki? If not, what do you think about creating one? Thanks -- Marco _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl
