problem with ICMP forwarding

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi,
 
I have redhat 8.0 with iptabes iptables-1.2.6a-2
Problem is  with icmp forwarding between internal host behind linux router and
Internet.
 
internal host ------ eth1 --Linux router --eth0-- Internet
 
Router's routing table:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
195.12.1.4    10.3.1.2       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth1
195.12.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.240  U       0      0        0 eth0
10.3.1.0       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0     U       0      0        0 eth1
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0            U       0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         195.12.1.1  0.0.0.0                   UG    0      0        0 eth0
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -s $SRV_INT_IP -j SNAT --to $SRV_EXT_IP
 
extif="eth0"
intif="eth1"
srv_int_ip="10.3.1.2"
srv_ext_ip="195.12.1.4"
 
I changed all default polices to ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD ACCEPT
 
#Enable forwarding in kernel
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Everything works just fine till I try to ping 195.12.1.4 from public network.
 
tcpdump listening at internal interface eth1:
12:48:45.990720 195.80.106.33 > 195.12.1.4: icmp: echo request
12:48:47.157450 195.80.106.33 > 195.12.1.4: icmp: echo request
12:48:48.159049 195.80.106.33 > 195.12.1.4: icmp: echo request
12:48:49.160159 195.80.106.33 > 195.12.1.4: icmp: echo request
when I remove static route
195.12.1.4    10.3.1.2       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth1
from the routing table I get destination host unreachable message from routers external interface while
pinging 195.12.1.4 from Internet.
 
any tcp, udp connection from 10.3.1.2 are ok and translated to 195.12.1.4.
 
I just can't figure out why icmp request won't reach 10.3.1.2. My guess is that something different must be done with
routing table but I'm not sure what.
 
 
Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
vmtesting
