Hi, Javier Gálvez Guerrero írta:
Hi there, I would like to know if it is possible to map multiple network interfaces into a single IP address in order to perform load balancing and network channels virtualization/abstraction tasks. If so, could you please point me to the proper iptables modules that are needed in client and routing elements?
You may have the same ip address on multiple interfaces. I have a following setup: br1 Link encap:Ethernet inet addr:172.16.1.254 Bcast:172.16.1.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 ... lan1 Link encap:Ethernet inet addr:172.16.1.254 Bcast:172.16.1.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 ... vpn-bia Link encap:UNSPEC inet addr:172.16.1.254 P-t-P:192.168.10.254 Mask:255.255.255.255 ... In this scenario I have three physical NICs: lan1, wan1, mfl1. I have also some vlans. lan1 connected to the local subnet. br1 consist of vlan100 and vpn1. These are virtual interfaces. The endpoint of vpn1 is on wan1. vlan100 is on lan1. vpn-bia is a tunnel over the mfl1 connection. So it is all working. But you have to have some routing rules.
