hi, I've a dedicated internet link 512k with a cisco router, and now, I want to upgrade bandwidth with 8 ADSLs (512k each) then: - build kernel 2.4.27 with pachs: - patch-o-matic-ng-20040621 : CONNMARK, H323, etc... - http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#multigw Julian's patch. - Activate "equal cost multi path" (Advanced Router-Networking Options) and so on - build iptables.1.2.11 - build iproute2 with HTB patch ADSLs are connected by modems/routers "Ericsson HM210dp" I configure then with: - the pppoe username and password - nat - A static route (in order to reach LAN network) - LAN ip ethernet in this way: modem/router 1 -> IP LAN : 172.16.1.1 modem/router 2 -> IP LAN : 172.16.1.2 .... modem/router 8 -> IP LAN : 172.16.1.8 In LINUX BOX, I don't make NAT because modems/routers do it. -except if I go to internet througth Cisco router- then, I have this: modem1 modem2 ... modem 8 172.16.1.1 172.16.1.2 ... 172.16.1.8 | | | | | | +-----------------+----- ... -------+ | | | LINUX ------+------------------------+ | eth2: 172.16.1.100 | | | | eth0: 200.26.X.Y1 +--> 200.26.X.Y4 (CISCO)-->internet | | | eth1: 192.168.221.254 | +-----+------------------------+ | | +---> RED LAN 192.168.221.0/24 Also, each modem/router haves next static route: "192.168.221.0/24 via 172.16.1.100" in order to reach LAN 192.168.221.0/24 Finally, I make next script: #!/bin/sh # flush all NICs ip addr flush dev eth0 ip addr flush dev eth1 ip addr flush dev eth2 ip addr flush dev lo ip link set eth0 down ip link set eth1 down ip link set eth2 down ip link set lo down # set up all nics ip addr add 127.0.0.1/8 dev lo ip link set lo up ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo ip link set eth0 up ip addr add 200.26.X.Y1/29 brd 200.26.X.Y2 dev eth0 ip route add 200.26.X.Y3/29 dev eth0 ip link set eth1 up ip addr add 192.168.221.254/24 dev eth1 ip route add 192.168.221.0/24 dev eth1 ip link set eth2 up ip addr add 172.16.1.100/24 dev eth2 ip route add 172.16.1.0/24 dev eth2 # routing... echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ip r a default proto static \ nexthop via 172.16.1.1 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 172.16.1.2 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 172.16.1.3 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 172.16.1.4 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 172.16.1.5 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 172.16.1.6 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 172.16.1.7 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 172.16.1.8 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 200.26.X.Y4 dev eth0 # (last IP is cisco's IP as default gateway of dedicated # internet link) # I only make NAT if packet go out internet trought Cisco iptables -F -t nat iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0 -s 192.168.221.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 200.26.X.Y1 # also I make next rules in order to # reach linux box from internet. ip ru d from 200.26.X.Y3/29 table 200 ip ru a from 200.26.X.Y3/29 table 200 ip r a default via 200.26.X.Y4 table 200 # <-- ip del CISCO ip r a 192.168.221.0/24 src 192.168.221.254 dev eth1 table 200 MY RESULTS: from Internet, I can reach LINUX box without problems but... browse web pages from LAN hosts is poor sometimes, we get a very good browsing speed, but some others times happens something rare: I need to click in STOP and REFRESH in my browser in order get access to some web pages (that happens in diferrents ways) any ideas ???
