I try to setup networking with a fresh CENTOS4.4 installation. Upto now
I have 20 installations, most of them FC3/FC4 and RHEL3.
I noticed that the default gateway is not setup properly when using Centos.
[root@raaf ~]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.101.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.101.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1
Networking is setup done by using dhcp, and this seems to work OK.
Problem is however that the gateway should be 192.168.101.2 and not
192.168.101.1 (does not exist). If I manually add the gateway,
networking is OK:
route add default gw 192.168.101.2 eth1
[root@raaf ~]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.101.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default scholekster 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.101.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1
(scholekster=192.168.101.2)
If I issue "service restart network". The added gateway is removed
again. I understand that I can fix this default gateway, but that is not
what I want.
I also tried to manually start dhclient:
[root@raaf ~]# dhclient eth1
....
Listening on LPF/eth1/00:15:f2:********
Sending on LPF/eth1/00:15:f2:********
Sending on Socket/fallback
DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 192.168.101.2
bound to 192.168.101.221 -- renewal in 294560 seconds.
But now my default gateway is added correctly! So is dhclient not used
by the networking scripts??
Anyone got an idea of how I could debug this further? The reason I use
eth1, is that the machine has two interfaces and is dual bootable. The
FC4 installation seems to have a different idea of which adapter should
be eth0...
Thanks,
Theo
PS.
The error message it started with, for google :-)
