[Shorewall-users] Problems setting up routing for multiple links

[<zen...@ze...>]

Hi All,=20

I am trying to setup Routing on my Bering Firewall to allow connections t=
o two providers, as well as maintaining inbound connections to web server=
s hosted in a dmz. I also use ipsec to link to another network.

I have been adding the commands as described on the LARTC web site=20
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html

I am adding these to /etc/netowkrs/interfaces using the up command.

But find that the line shown with an * generate a file already exists. So=
 it sounds as though I am trying to add a route that has already been cre=
ated somewhere in Bering.


ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1 table T1=20
ip route add default via $P1 table T1=20
ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 src $IP2 table T2=20
ip route add default via $P2 table T2=20

* ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1=20
* ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 src $IP2=20

ip route add default via $P1=20

ip rule add from $IP1 table T1=20
ip rule add from $IP2 table T2=20

ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 table T1=20
ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 table T1=20
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T1=20
ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 table T2=20
ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 table T2=20
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T2=20


I also believe I will need further routes for the dmz, but need to unders=
tand the first failure before moving onto this issue.=20

Any help on this would be much appreciated.=20
