I have an IP routing issue or I am just to stupid to work it out myself.

I have setup am old PC running SUSE Linux 11.3 as a router, the system has 3 Interfaces connecting 3 networks.

Interface 1 = 10.164.2.161/21
Interface 2 = 192.168.1.210/24
Interface 3 = 30.1.0.11/16

The default Gateway is 10.164.0.35 - access to the outside world.

IP Forwarding is enabled and firewall is disabled for now.

Now I am able to ping,trace, access across the box without any issues unless I am trying to reach the outside. For example a ping from 30.1.0.2 to 10.164.2.100 works without issues, if I ping 10.164.0.35 my defined default gateway it will not find it.

Obviously I am doing something wrong or I have forgoten to define a route or something as such any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers ...

Hello i think this may help you.

nano /etc/sysconfig/network/routes

route add -net 10.164.0.0/21 gw 10.164.0.135
route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 gw 10.164.0.135
route add -net 30.1.0.0/16 gw 10.164.0.135

route add defaltul gw 10.164.0.135/25

If this does not work, could you add the netstat -rn and the route output to the case and we can review better the issue, and also you can add the interfaces outputs so we can verify if they are configured to support what you request.

Best regards,

Luis

Luis,

thanks for tryiing help, I made those suggested changes without much luck and have enlcosed the route output:

and the netstat -rn output

So, let see if this makes things clearer ...

Thanks Thomas

Hello,

I just review your notes and i am wondering if there is a chance that you check the ip address that you have, on the interfaces, also i would like to recommend a better segmentation of the network, and that u can use a p2p connection whit the gateway in order to make it more secure.

we can help you whit this
network sub netting
routes
and i will like to ask u if there is a chance that u can provide us the ifconfig so we can verify the ipaddress of the interfaces.

Thanks,

Luis,

cannot do anything about the segmentation at this moment in time, it is planned to consolidated those networks this year untill then it will have to work the way it is.

IFConfig print out as per request:

Try this,

nano /etc/sysconfig/network/routes

route add -net 10.164.0.0 -netmask 255.255.248.0 dev eth0 -gw 10.164.2.135
route add -net 192.168.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 via 192.168.1.210 dev eth4 -gw 10.164.2.135
route add -net 30.1.0.0 -netmask 255.255.0.0 via 30.10.0.11 dev eth1 -gw 10.164.0.135
ip route add default via 10.164.2.135
route add defaltul gw 10.164.0.135 -netmask 255.255.248.0

Address:
eth4 00:00:24:C3:4B:9B 192.168.1.210 (250 max host per sub net).
eth1 00:00:24:C3:4B:98 30.1.0.11 (This is a public ip address and you must not use them).
eth0 00:08:02:40:FE:A6 10.164.2.161 (2046 max host per sub net, it is recommended to use about like 500 host per sub net, because the broadcast storms can affect the network).

Best regards,

Luis,

sorry for not getting back sooner, I would like to thank your for your efforts but unfortunately this is not working either. I think I will park the whole for the time ...

Again thanks for your efforts and help ...

Cheers Thomas
