IPIP Tunnelling "Network is Unreachable"

IPIP Tunnelling "Network is Unreachable"

Post by David Nillese » Wed, 11 Aug 1999 04:00:00



        Hi,
        I am kind of desperate at this point as I need to get this working for
a client ASAP.
        I follow the instructions in the NET-3-HOWTO on how to esatablish a
tunnel. I make sure i have the ipip module loaded. I bring up the
ethernet interface. Then i bring up the tunnel with
ifconfig tunl0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
i try and establish the route with:
route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 gw 10.2.0.1 tunl0
        (just like it says)
and i get "SICOADDRT: Network is unreachable" or something similar.
        I do have a route set to 10.2.0.1 and i can ping it.
        The ipip module is also loaded on the other end of the tunnel.
        It's like it is trying to use the tunl0 as a device instead of a
tunnel.
        I am running RedHat 6.0 with the latest "official" kernel and two
via-rhine NIC's.
        Any suggestions are VERY welcome.
        Thanks,

   You have hopefully already found your answers but in case you haven't, it seems
that the new kernel 2.2 has changed things and the documents haven't caught up.
You'll probably find that when you created the tunl0 interface, that you
automatically got a network route for it.  This will conflict with with the next
step so remove it.

route del -net aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/24 tunl0

Then you need to add a route to the remote gateway, then add the tunnel route, and
finally remove the route to the gateway.

route add -host 10.2.0.1 tunl0
route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 gw 10.2.0.1 tunl0
route del -host 10.2.0.1 tunl0

This seems to work.  Does anybody know why these strange steps are required (if
indeed they are)?

In finding this out, I came across references to a program called ip that seems to
be easier to use for this.
(http://snafu.freedom.org/linux2.2/tunnel-notes.html).  Anybody know what this is?

Thanks.

1. SMAIL problems: "lock failed", and "network is unreachable."

        Well, I got smail working so that it went through and delivered
all of the mail that wasn't delivered the last two months. Now I can't
send new mail to anyone. Here's a brief segment of what was in
/usr/spool/smail/logfile:



10/12/94 12:42:04: [m0qv6ke-0004mgC] received
|            from: mark
|         program: sendmail

|            size: 631 bytes

10/12/94 12:45:56: pid 253: new config files, exec(/usr/lib/sendmail)
10/12/94 12:45:56: pid 6860: smail daemon started
10/12/94 13:11:28: open_spool: /var/spool/smail/input/0qnI1X-0004o5C: lock failed: File exists
10/12/94 13:11:29: open_spool: /var/spool/smail/input/0qnI1X-0004o5C: lock failed: File exists
10/12/94 13:11:29: open_spool: /var/spool/smail/input/0qoews-0004oHC: lock failed: File exists

10/12/94 13:30:58: open_spool: /var/spool/smail/input/0qv6ke-0004mgC: lock failed: File exists

        I don't know if that help anyone or not. I'm running linux
1.1.45, and smail 3.1.28. My system is currently not connected to the
internet, though that shouldn't matter because I'm just trying to send
mail to myself.

        Anyone have any clues, or can point me into a direction to look?
If you need more information, email me.

        Much thanks.
