Hi All, I'm setting up multiple virtual interfaces to allow load-balancing over several uplinks using a single NIC, on Debian Squeeze. Packets will be marked by iptables, and sent to the proper routing tables via "ip rule add fwmark <n>". I'm having trouble setting routes for the VLANs. root@debiandesk2:/etc/network# ifconfig 192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::22cf:30ff:fed8:6bea/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:49654 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:54712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:35989170 (34.3 MiB) TX bytes:8795113 (8.3 MiB) Interrupt:27 Base address:0xc000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:54:dc:1b:79 inet addr:192.168.10.1 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::208:54ff:fedc:1b79/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6077 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9451 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:73 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:821439 (802.1 KiB) TX bytes:9756873 (9.3 MiB) Interrupt:19 Base address:0xdc00 eth0.2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 20:cf:30:d8:6b:ea inet addr:192.168.200.10 Bcast:192.168.200.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::22cf:30ff:fed8:6bea/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:17776 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15037 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:16258598 (15.5 MiB) TX bytes:2075870 (1.9 MiB) eth0.3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 20:cf:30:d8:6b:ea inet addr:192.168.2.10 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::22cf:30ff:fed8:6bea/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1083 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1320 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:113499 (110.8 KiB) TX bytes:273602 (267.1 KiB) My firewall/load-balancing script is able to set the routes for the first virtual interface (eth0.2) OK: + ip route flush table T0 + ip route add 192.168.200.0/24 dev eth0.2 src 192.168.200.10 table T0 + ip rule add from 192.168.200.10 table T0 + ip rule add iif lo to 201.200.105.6 table T0 + ip route add 192.168.10.0/24 dev eth1 table T0 + ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T0 + ip rule del from all fwmark 0 + ip rule add fwmark 0 table T0 + ip route add 192.168.200.0/24 dev eth0.2 src 192.168.200.10 + ip route add default via 192.168.200.1 table T0 However, it fails as follows when adding the default route for the second virtual interface (eth0.3): + ip route flush table T1 + ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0.3 src 192.168.2.10 table T1 + ip rule add from 192.168.2.10 table T1 + ip rule add iif lo to 8.8.4.4 table T1 + ip route add 192.168.10.0/24 dev eth1 table T1 + ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T1 + ip rule del from all fwmark 1 + ip rule add fwmark 1 table T1 + ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0.3 src 192.168.2.10 + ip route add default via 192.168.2.1 table T1 RTNETLINK answers: No such process Similarly, I was unable to use "ip" to set a "nexthop via" default route for virtual interfaces. I'd greatly appreciate any help.
