hi, we have eth1; in the beginning it was proposed to create from eth1, eth1.2500 and eth1.240. It did not worked cause vlan 1.2500 was not tagged in the switch. so they decided to leave eth1 like a physical interface with eth1.2500 config (removel vlan tag) and create eth1.240 but it did not work because when eth1.240 is up , the eth1 lose it´s gateway using eth1.240 gateway. manually we get to assing its gateway but its a temporal solution , cause if service network or server is restarted it turns back. we need a permanent solution. i attach how is the config done: Code: FH0089:root:/etc/sysconfig# cat network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no IPV6INIT=none HOSTNAME=FH0089 NOZEROCONF=true GATEWAY=10.130.0.4 FH0089:root:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts# cat ifcfg-eth1 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715S Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=18:A9:05:xx:xx:12 ONBOOT=yes GATEWAY=10.130.0.4 IPADDR=10.130.0.12 NETMASK=255.255.255.192 TYPE=Ethernet IPV6INIT=no FHge0082:root:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts# cat ifcfg-eth1.240 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715S Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth1.240 BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=18:A9:xx:xx:49:12 ONBOOT=yes GATEWAY=10.224.248.1 IPADDR=10.224.248.103 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 TYPE=Ethernet IPV6INIT=no VLAN=yes FH0089:root:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts# cat route-eth1.240 ADDRESS0=10.53.129.0 GATEWAY0=10.224.248.1 NETMASK0=255.255.255.240 ADDRESS1=10.53.129.192 GATEWAY1=10.224.248.1 NETMASK1=255.255.255.240 FH0089:root:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.53.129.192 10.224.248.1 255.255.255.240 UG 0 0 0 eth1.240 10.53.129.0 10.224.248.1 255.255.255.240 UG 0 0 0 eth1.240 10.130.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.129.15.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0.1020 10.224.248.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1.240 10.129.0.0 10.129.15.3 255.255.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0.1020 0.0.0.0 10.130.0.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 last line you see above is the one which is not included in route tables by default, even if GATEWAY is configured in /etc/sysconfig/network we looked for a file which could affect including a route by default but we didnt find it. i rebooted the server, and i´ve been thinking about using this command /sbin/ip route flush table all but i think if i already rebooted after erase all eth1.240 (route too) files it would be useless i would like anybody help me cause i´m in a hurry -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
