I'm working with LEAF boxes as gateway machines. I'm trying to implement Proxy-ARP to build a bandwidth manager for my network. I've gone as per the lartc howto to implement a transparent bridge in an existing network and plan to put in my tc script after this. I'm configuring the box as a standalone one before plugging it into the network. I'm getting an error when I try to delete a route for local LAN addresses thro' the external interface in order to put in a specific one to route only packets meant for the router's interface thro' that ethernet interface on the LEAF box. The kernel version is 2.4.18 patched with htb and ipsec. Iproute2 is also installed. My intended network goes as below. I put up a LEAF box to try this. LAN Config is as under 10.0.1.1 Internet +-----------------+ eth0+-----------+eth1 | ===========> | Router/ VPN Box |----------|LEAF Bering|----------| LAN Leased +-----------------+ 10.0.1.4+-----------+10.0.1.4 | 10.0.1.x I set up interfaces file and checked all the settings. I'm unable to delete the route for eth0 for 10.0.1.x addresses. I'm giving below the transcript. I'm not able to figure out what the problem is. Can you help me put this up please? <transcript> #ip li sh 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:00:21:f3:0a:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:00:21:f4:50:e7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff #ip addr sh 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo 2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:00:21:f3:0a:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.1.4/24 brd 10.0.1.255 scope global eth0 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:00:21:f4:50:e7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.1.4/24 brd 10.0.1.255 scope global eth1 #ip ro sh 10.0.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.1.4 10.0.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.1.4 default via 10.0.1.1 dev eth0 #cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp 1 #cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp 1 #ip ro del 10.0.1.0/24 via 10.0.1.4 dev eth0 RTNETLINK answers: No such process #ip ro add 10.0.1.1/24 via 10.0.1.4 dev eth0 #ip ro sh 10.0.1.1 via 10.0.1.4 dev eth0 10.0.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.1.4 10.0.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.1.4 default via 10.0.1.1 dev eth0 </transcript> Since I'm going to be introducing this bridge into a production LAN, I'd like this to work first shot. Any pointers please. TIA Mohan _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
