Hi RH users,
I have the need to use a 2nd ethernet card in one of my
machines.
The exsisting one, using interface eth0, is for my company's
LAN.
I want to interface the 2nd one with the ethernet port of
a satellite data receiver from which I can read data.
Both of the NICs are 3C905B cards.
So here are my questions:
1. The satellite receiver runs only at 10-Base T. What would
be the appropriate way to force the 2nd NIC into 10BaseT mode
without having to use the 3COM DOS diskette? Are there
some lines in my conf.modules I need to add?
2. The satellite machine is factory set to an IP address of
192.168.0.1. The documentation says to set the NIC to
192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Fine, I have done that
with netcfg, but now I seem to have an "extra" gateway on eth0
which I don't want:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
xx.yy.zz.4 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
**38.248.19.0 router 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0**
xx.yy.zz.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 router 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
This extra gateway on eth0 forces all traffic that should stay within our LAN
to be routed through our router, which should only handle external traffic.
How can I remove the **'d line from my routing table, either with netcfg or
via some other means? I tried:
route del -net xx.yy.zz.0 gw router metric 0 dev eth0
but I get a "SIOCDELRT: Invalid argument" when I try that.
