I'm confusing things here, but not on purpose. I mean that I have assigned a gateway to both eth0 and eth1 in this way: These files are on machine6 in diagram below: cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: USERCTL='no' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' BOOTPROTO='none' HWADDR='00:03:47:fa:4b:13' DEVICE='eth0' IPADDR='192.168.0.7' GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' TYPE='Ethernet' ONBOOT='yes' NETWORK='192.168.0.0' BROADCAST='192.168.0.255' cat /etc/sysconfig-networkscripts/ifcfg-eth1: USERCTL='no' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' BOOTPROTO='none' HWADDR='00:04:75:9b:e5:0d' DEVICE='eth1' IPADDR='192.168.1.5' GATEWAY='192.168.1.1' TYPE='Ethernet' ONBOOT='yes' NETWORK='192.168.1.0' BROADCAST='192.168.1.255' Without that second one (192.168.1.1) a machine 192.168.1.6 was unable to ping 192.168.0.1 (the firewall) and ssh connections between 192.168.0 and 192.168.1 took several minutes find a route There was no particular good reason for the setup below but this is where I am running into what I described: Calling GW1 192.168.0.1 GW2 192.168.1.1 INTERNET | dsl modem <static ip address> | ROUTER (GW1 192.168.0.1) NETGEAR FR314 | -------------------------------- | |eth0 192.168.0.5 eth0=> | rh7.1 Mach5 | |eth1 GW2 192.168.1.1 mach6 | eth1=> | | ---------------------------- | | | | m1 m2 m3 m4 192.168.0.7 rh 7.3 Where machine 5 is gatewayed to the router 192.168.0.1 And m1 m2 m3 m4 are gatewayed to Mach5 (eth1) Machine 6 is a sort of hybrid that has a connection to both 192.168.0 and 192.168.1. That is the machine with two designated gateways Yet a netstat -nr on mach 6 shows only: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0 _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
