Configuring Linux Router

SBN · 02-16-2007, 01:39 AM

- hey guys im trying to connect 2 networks with different segments for file sharing. Is this possible if i configure our UBUNTU box to act as a router and plug these 2 networks on it.

- how do you test the linux box router if its working.
- our ubuntu has 2 NICs and has these configurations.

NIC1:
IP = 192.168.1.1
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Def Gateway = 192.168.1.1

NIC2:
IP = 172.16.0.1
Netmask = 255.255.0.0
Def Gateway = 172.16.0.1

- i check its routing table after adding them, and this is the output.

Quote:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
172.16.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
default 172.16.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

routing between to local subents won't affect the routing tables, as both subnets are already known to the router. how do you test it? you try to use it as a router.

erm, little lost now.. if you mean how do you make a client use it as a router, then that's down to the client, not the router. if it's linux still add a route such as "route add 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 gw 172.16.1.2" and go nuts.
