Hi,
After installing iproute2-2.2.4-now-ss990417-2.i386.rpm I tried to use it,
and I got some errors.
If I use ip route list I get
x.y.8.114 dev eth1 scope link
x.y.7.38 dev eth0 scope link
x.y.8.112/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src x.y.8.114
x.y.7.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src x.y.7.38
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default via x.y.7.1 dev eth0
Whenever I try to use ip rule
[root@gw1 2.2.16-3smp] ip rule add from x.y.8.114 table 200
I also tried using a number for the table, as well as "new" but I keep
getting the same error.
I get the following error message.
[root@gw1 2.2.16-3smp] RTNETLINK error: Invalid argument
The syntax is...
[root@gw1 2.2.16-3smp]# ip rule help
Usage: ip rule [ list | add | del ] SELECTOR ACTION
SELECTOR := [ from PREFIX ] [ to PREFIX ] [ tos TOS ] [ fwmark FWMARK ]
[ dev STRING ] [ pref NUMBER ]
ACTION := [ table TABLE_ID ] [ nat ADDRESS ]
[ prohibit | reject | unreachable ]
[ realms [SRCREALM/]DSTREALM ]
TABLE_ID := [ local | main | default | new | NUMBER ]
Do I have to do anything else when I install iproute2??
Thanks in advance.
