Hi, here Nevio, from Italy. I'm new in the forum. I'm playing with a BeagleBone Black C with debian 7.5 2014-07-06 version. The BBB is connected to the local network with internet access, and I run it with ssh. I have connected also a usb internet-key (Huawei E3131) that work out of the box. This internet key is different from the others because it is seen as an ethernet device, not usb device. I am having trouble with configuring which internet connection the system has to use. In particular I would like the BBB use the internet connection via LAN if the internet via LAN is up, else the other connection (via usb internet key). I have configured the two eth connections with different priorities (/etc/network/interfaces), however if the LAN has no internet connection the system don't use the usb-key. I post my config file.
eth0 = wired connection, gateway 192.168.0.1 eth1 = via usb internet key, gateway 192.168.1.1 debian@arm:~$ ping 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Net Unreachable >From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Net Unreachable >From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Net Unreachable >From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=4 Destination Net Unreachable >From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=5 Destination Net Unreachable ^C --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 0 received, +9 errors, 100% packet loss, time 8012ms debian@arm:~$ ping -I eth1 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) from 192.168.0.14 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=3 ttl=43 time=658 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=2 ttl=43 time=1687 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=1 ttl=43 time=2687 ms 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=4 ttl=43 time=47.6 ms ^C --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 8 packets transmitted, 7 received, 12% packet loss, time 7003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 47.670/899.876/2687.464/921.850 ms, pipe 3 debian@arm:~$ sudo route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 10 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.7.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 usb0 debian@arm:~$ nano /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
