Hi Guys, I have been pulling my hair our trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Traffic comes in my eth1 which is my internet interface coming from a cisco router that is also on the same network as my eth1. Traffic needs to go out my eth0 (local lan) to its default gateway unmodified. The problem is that the packets arrive in eth1 with source xxx.xxx.xxx.49 (cisco router) and leave eth0 with a source of xxx.xxx.xxx.50 (my eth1 IP). As shown below. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what could be modifying the source address of the packets and how to stop it please? As I am all out of ideas and don't know what to google to get to the source of my problem as I do not know what it is. I have done lots of googling but nothing helps me. # tcpdump -ni any host 10.96.11.20 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 65535 bytes 15:33:24.698796 IP xxx.xxx.xxx.49.57024 > 10.96.11.20.2055: UDP, length 1464 15:33:24.698827 IP xxx.xxx.xxx.50.57024 > 10.96.11.20.2055: UDP, length 1464 # ip rule list 0: from all lookup local 20: from all to 10.156.170.0/24 lookup main 21: from all to 10.0.0.0/8 lookup main . . . 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default # ip route list table main xxx.xxx.xxx.48/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src xxx.xxx.xxx.50 10.156.170.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.156.170.100 10.0.0.0/8 via 10.156.170.10 dev eth0 default via xxx.xxx.xxx.49 dev eth1 Firewall Traffic is ACCEPT through the FORWARD chain.
