Hi,
I'm using Firewall Builder v2.0.12 on FC6 to write firewalls for other
FC6 hosts.
I have one particular host that has 3 ips assigned to eth0, i.e.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:3B:D6:4F
inet addr:192.168.1.82 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:3B:D6:4F
inet addr:192.168.1.90 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
eth0:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:3B:D6:4F
inet addr:192.168.1.91 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I've added these to the firewall as additional IPv4 addresses in the
eth0 interface object.
When I install the firewall, I get the "RTNETLINK answers: File exists"
message. If I enable debugging I se this:
+ /sbin/ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.90/24 dev eth0 brd + scope global label
eth0:FWB1
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
and
+ /sbin/ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.91/24 dev eth0 brd + scope global label
eth0:FWB2
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
I'm not sure if this will cause a problem or not, but I'm having trouble
getting something else to work and I'm wondering if this is the reason.
Cna anyone shed any light?
Thanks,
R.
