Re: routing within same nic card

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

 



I have 1 NIC card with 2 ip address:
IP1 = 192.168.3.1/255.255.255.192
Network 1 = 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.192

IP2 = 192.168.4.1/255.255.255.248
Network 2 = 192.168.4.0/255.255.255.248

My question, how can workstations from network 1 reaches the workstations in network 2 and vice versa using IPtables?

This really is not an IPTables issue as this is more a routing issue than it is a packet filtering issue.  All you need to do to enable the ""routing would be to enable IP forwarding via one of these two methods:

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

or

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

The only thing that IPTables might be interfering with this on would be if you have your default FORWARD policy to DROP.  In that case you would need to do something like the following:

iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT

Or if you want to be more specific and specify what subnets can forward you would need the following rules:

iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth0 -s 192.168.3.0/24 -d 192.168.4.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth0 -s 192.168.4.0/24 -d 192.168.3.0/24 -j ACCEPT
