imagine the folowing simpler configuration
Hub | Linux
+----- eth0 192.168.1.1/24
| |
+----- eth1 192.168.1.2/24
|
I would like that the packets of ping -I eth0 192.168.1.2, go on wire via the
eth0 interface to the hub, that the hub broadcast them to eth1, and the kernel
receive them from eth1 and process it and the send the ICMP replies back to the
wire via eth1, and eth0 and ping recieve it.
For that the kernel HAS to NOT recognize the dest ip (192.168.1.2) as local,
when packets comes from processes, so that the packet will be sent over the
interface even if there is an other interface eth2 configurated with the
destination ip (192.168.1.2) on the same kernel.
So the problem is how to bypass the lookup in the table shown by:
ip route show table local
Or how to change the priority of the rule 0: shown by:
ip rule
One dirty solution might be altering the dest ip of outgoingpackets that comes
from processes (OUTPUT ROUTING), using ip&(1<<8), to fool the kernel. Then
having the HUB (i can program the hub) to remove that bit. (but that forbids
using with that bit set).
