 |
|
Greetings routing guru's I am messing around with configuring and upgrading some test routers via their web interface from my laptop (running Gentoo). I would like this to not disturb my working internet connection.
Is there a simple way to network from a test router running its own dhcp and a web interface on 192.168.1.1 (connected via eth0) to some unused ip address on my laptop without affecting my real internet connection wlan0?
Here is my working routing table:
| Code: | route -v
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default dsldevice.att.n 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 9 0 0 wlan0
|
I tried some point to point stuff | Code: | | ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 -pointopoint 192.168.1.1 up |
and | Code: | | ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 -pointopoint 192.168.1.1 up |
But that buggers my default route:
| Code: | route -v
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 9 0 0 wlan0 |
Now with wireless off and just the router:
| Code: | Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 202 0 0 eth0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 202 0 0 eth0
|
| Code: | eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::baca:3aff:febf:a7fe prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether b8:ca:3a:bf:a7:fe txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 5333 bytes 5063237 (4.8 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 7998 bytes 749635 (732.0 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
device interrupt 20 memory 0xf7e00000-f7e20000

I am trying setting one routers to the 10.0.0.1 network but I know there is a better way.
Thanks for your ideas in advance

turtles,
Having two interfaces in the same subnet usually ends in tears.
If you use another subnet for eth0, it should just work.
However, the default setups will give you two default routes.
Either delete the default route over eth0 or set up eth0 statically without a default route.

Could you elaborate on that?

turtles,
At each end of the eth0 link, put something like | Code: | | config_eth0="192.168.100.20/24 brd 192.168.100.255" |
into /etc/conf.d/net
This sets up eth0 on the box to use 192.168.100.20 on the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet.
At the other end, choose a different IP in the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet.
If you must, you can test a dhcp server on the 192.168.100.0/24 subnet as it will not interfere with your 192.168.1.0/24 subnet on wlan0.
For a full static setup, you would also have | Code: | | routes_eth0="default via 192.168.100.253" |
to set up the default route.
This line is deliberately omitted as you don't want a default route on eth0.
The .253 is a strange IP address to have a router listening on. There is a long story behind it, involving migrating my router from a dedicated box to a virtual machine but needing to have both setups connected at the same time for testing. I needed to test the new setup while my family used the the old one.
