2 nics, 2 networks help.

chrisknight · 12-17-2004, 06:11 AM

I have a Fedora Linux Box that I have installed 2 nics into running http, tftp, and ftp.. I am trying to get each of the interfaces to use these services.
eth0 = 192.168.2.10/24
and
eth1 = 172.22.22.203/24
(I have done this on a fc1 and fc2 machine with same results)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth0 reads:
# 3com Corp|3c905 100BaseTX
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=192.168.2.225
HWADDR=00:10:4C:24:CF:42
IPADDR=192.168.2.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth1 reads:
# DEC|DECchip 21142/43
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=172.22.22.255
HWADDR=00:40:F3:A4:1D:F3
IPADDR=172.22.22.203
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=172.22.22.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no

From the Linux box I can ping Loopback, and I can ping both interfaces
192.168.2.10 and 172.22.22.203.
There is no firewall.
When I connect another computer via crossover cable to eth0(192.168.2.10) and change the computer to 192.168.2.11 I can ping it all day.

When I do the same for eth1(172.22.22.203) and change the computer to 172.22.22.205 I cant ping it. It says destination unreachable...

How can I make this work
Thanks..

This sounds like a routing problem, rather than a problem with the configuration of either interface.

You'll find documentation on this on tldp.org. You want to look at the /sbin/route command.

To me, it sounds like iptables is nagging you.

Issuing the command 'route' on this box gives me:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use IFace
172.22.22.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

Look right?

how about the output of

Code:

iptables -L

?

I got it working... The answer (although not a good one) was to shut off Kudzu.
It appears as though I had everything configured correctly but there is an issue with 3COM nics and Fedora.
Used a 3C905-tx nic...
