-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, this might seem like a classical problem but I've trouble getting this working correctly: # ifconfig ### output stripped down: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:FC:2B:EB:1B inet addr:192.168.5.220 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:44:60:EC:58 inet addr:192.168.5.221 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:ED:33:2B:6B inet addr:192.168.5.222 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 # ip route 192.168.5.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.220 192.168.5.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.221 192.168.5.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.222 default via 192.168.5.11 dev eth0 # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter 1 (and just to be sure I set /conf/<every interface>/arp_filter to 1 as well) So basically what I want is just a box with 3 network cards with 3 different ips, no bonding/trunking, just simple.. :). What I get is simply that eth0 is answering (with it's own HW addr) to arp requests for all ips (so including .221 and .222). Also, the other interfaces are not answering (so it's not like they all answer either, only eth0 does). The interfaces do receive the request however (when I look with tcpdump). The effect is obvious, when I list the arp table on the client machine: 192.168.5.220 00-50-fc-2b-eb-1b dynamic 192.168.5.221 00-50-fc-2b-eb-1b dynamic 192.168.5.222 00-50-fc-2b-eb-1b dynamic ^ that's all eth0's hw addr :| I've also tried all /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_ignore settings (+flushing arp tables @ client of course), but none of them helped... I'm not even sure if those options have anything to do with what I'm trying to accomplish. Actually, when adding the hw addr manually (arp -s 192.168.5.221 00-02-44-60-EC-58) pinging doesn't work either... while all interfaces receive the request (because naturally the switch didn't see the arp request/reply it gets broadcasted) none of them replies. Some of these are irrelevant, but just to be sure: - - no iptables rules are present - - all default iptables actions are at ACCEPT - - IP Forwarding is disabled - - I've reset my switch - - I've flushed all arp tables on both the server and test client machine This is Linux 2.4.30 (w/grsecurity). Fast switching is off btw, checked that as well. Did I miss a setting? A kernel compile option? Or is there a problem with arp_filter in 2.4.*? I hope I'm missing something obvious here ;).
