hi all!

i have an error setting a static route on my gentoo testmachine. first interface enp1s0 is connected to the "normal" network 192.168.0.0/24 and the second to my "testnetwork" 192.168.1.1/24 with a dnsmasq dhcp.
my config looks like this:

Code:

config_enp1s0="192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_enp1s0="default via 192.168.0.5"
dns_servers_enp1s0="192.168.0.5"

config_enp2s0="192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_enp2s0="default via 192.168.0.25"


but on boot/reboot, the second interface does not start. if restarting it manually i get this:

Code:

/etc/init.d/net.enp2s0 restart
 * Bringing up interface enp2s0
 *   192.168.1.1 ...                                                                                  [ ok ]
 *   Adding routes
 *     default via 192.168.0.25 ...
Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.                                                                   [ !! ]


but then the interface is up and running:

Code:

 ifconfig
enp1s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.25  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 fe80::4770:d116:30e5:bf2  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 00:25:22:44:47:b5  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 403  bytes 37234 (36.3 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 486  bytes 117148 (114.4 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

enp2s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.1  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 00:08:54:56:60:83  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0


i have no idea what else to configure. packet forwarding is on
Code:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1


any ideas?

thx in advance

You cannot set two default routes. Please note that IPv4 standard routing rules (the routes you manage with 'route') are NOT attached to specific interfaces. There is a global routing table, and you can define only one default route.

snIP3r,

Code:
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default         router          0.0.0.0         UG    2      0        0 eth0
loopback        0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
loopback        localhost       255.0.0.0       UG    0      0        0 lo
192.168.100.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
the kernel matches outgoing packets against the routing table entries from the bottom, working its way up.

At the bottom, it says to reach 192.168.100.0/24 no gateway is required, just send the packet out of eth0.
Lets ignore loopback.
Any packets that reach the default are sent to a gateway called router that is reached via eth0.
Were there more routes, further up the routing table, the could not be reached. Default matches everything.

Code:
config_enp2s0="192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_enp2s0="default via 192.168.0.25"

enp2s0 is in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. It cannot reach 192.168.0.25 so its not useful to try to define a static route there out of enp2s0.
If the route had been created and used, you wouldn't like the result.

thx for the explanation!
i totally forgot to do some iptables magic to do the job:

Code:

iptables -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -o enp1s0 -j MASQUERADE


and everything is ok now...
