Hi I have a setup where lxc ( container/light weight sandbox ) brings up veth and setsup IP as 192.168.10.2. and runs telnet server ( on port 2300 ) I created a bridge with IP 192.168.10.2 attaching the veth. After the route setup, the host ( with eth1: 10.4.38.222 ) is able to ping the veth ( 192.168.10.2 ) and vice versa. Now how do I connect to the telnet server on 192.168.10.2: 2300 from 10.4.3x.xxx network ? I guess I need some kind of NAT rules I tried : http://www.pdxsys.com/articles/lxc/lxc2/ but in vain. ------- setup ---------------- # ifconfig from host: br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:26:4E:1E:96:58 inet addr:192.168.10.1 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::6c17:ebff:fe0b:4960/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:935 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:463 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:66496 (64.9 KiB) TX bytes:39538 (38.6 KiB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:DE:AD:BE:EF UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:DE:AD:BE:EE inet addr:10.4.38.182 Bcast:10.4.39.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:134332 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1961 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:19183426 (18.2 MiB) TX bytes:169630 (165.6 KiB) eth1:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:DE:AD:BE:EE inet addr:192.168.17.10 Bcast:192.168.17.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:756 (756.0 B) TX bytes:756 (756.0 B) veth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:E5:84:6E:5F:58 inet6 addr: fe80::fce5:84ff:fe6e:5f58/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:475 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:896 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:40254 (39.3 KiB) TX bytes:59336 (57.9 KiB) veth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:26:4E:1E:96:58 inet6 addr: fe80::fc26:4eff:fe1e:9658/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:441 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:893 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:37874 (36.9 KiB) TX bytes:58770 (57.3 KiB) # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 10.4.39.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 10.4.38.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 192.168.17.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 # iptables --list Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination # tried : # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.fe264e1e9658 no veth2 veth3 also tried adding : # brctl addif br0 eth1 # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.0000deadbeee no eth1 veth2 veth3 Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
