multiple default gateways
 

Hi,

I'm trying to setup my network with multiple default gateways from a debian linux box running 2.6.11.10.

I've read lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html and understand about setting up the routes for each interface in separate routing tables.

I have added the table names into my rp_tables file and ip route show table demon/ rednet shows that there's nothing in those tables.

However when I try an add a route into the tables it accepts my command,
, but it gets added into the main routing table.

I'm quite obviously missing something, but can't work out what it is. Do I need to comple something extra into the kernel?

Can anyone please shed any light on the situation?

Thanks

:confused:

hi,
i'm quite in a hurry... so i wont be long.
I think you've got to compile the advanced routing module in your kernel.
but it's strange you don't have any error message...
good luck

#marking the packets in the input interface in this case eth0

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s 62.1.196.116/32 -j MARK --set-mark 6


#Masquerade the outgoing interface with the input one

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE


#sending the marked packets with number 4 into the talbe 80.out

ip ru add fwmark 4 table 80.out


#making default gw 10.0.1.138 for table 80.out

ip ro add default table 80.out via 10.0.1.138

simply use shorewall firewall.


Shorewall and Multiple Internet Connections
eth3 connects to ISP1. The IP address of eth3 is 172.16.6.50 and the ISP's gateway router has IP address 172.16.6.49
eth0 connects to ISP 2. The IP address of eth0 is 192.192.192.15 and the ISP's gateway router has IP address 192.192.192.10.
eth1 connects to the local LAN(192.168.0.1).

1: Edit /etc/shorewall/providers file



Entries in /etc/shorewall/providers can specify that outgoing connections are to be load-balanced between the two ISPs.

##############################################################################
#NAME NUMBER MARK DUPLICATE INTERFACE GATEWAY OPTIONS
ISP1 1 1 main eth3 172.16.6.49 track,balance
ISP2 2 2 main eth0 192.192.192.10 track, balance
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE

2: Edit the interfaces file
/etc/shorewall/interfaces
##############################################################################
#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS GATEWAY
#
loc eth1
net eth0 detect
net eth3 detect
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE


4:Edit your policy file(Add the following line):
/etc/shorewall/policy

#SOURCE DESTINATION POLICY LIMIT:BURST
net net DROP
5:Edit the masq file
/etc/shorewall/masq:
#INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS
eth0 172.16.6.50 192.192.192.15
eth3 192.192.192.10 172.16.6.50
6:I want to masquerade my eth1 (local zone) for this I will add the following in my masq file:-
#INTERFACE SUBNET ADDRESS
eth0 eth1 192.192.192.10
eth3 eth1 172.16.6.50


best regards
