Routing and rtnetlink

by dmurph.. » Fri, 12 Jan 2001 07:45:25

I'm using Red Hat 6.2 with the 2.2.14 kernel.

Is there a way to dump the entire routing table (displayed when you type
"ip route") to an application using rtnetlink? I've looked at the man
pages for it, and didn't see anything that looked like it would work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

1. rtnetlink: network unreachable for Routing for multiple uplinks using ip route add

Dear all,
after playing around and having the same problems on all linux
versions I have at hand and not finding a solution in the net I ask
for your help.

Problem: Want to set up a router with multiple uplinks to the
internet.
Checked documentation at several places, but all examples given will
not work!
Always get rtnetlink: network is unreachable.

Have tried this with IPCop 1.4.5, SUSE Prof. 9.1 same effect.

OK now the details:

For ISP 1 (all IP addresses not the real ones!)
eth0: 10.138.233.227
NETMASK: 255.255.255.240
GW: 10.138.233.226

For ISP2
eth1 10.51.238.226
NETMASK: 255.255.255.240
GW: 10.51.238.226

/etc/rt_tables: (added at end)
200 T1
201 T2

Routing table empty but loopback device when I start:
ip route add 10.138.233.224/28 dev eth0 src 10.138.233.227 table T1
ip route add default via 10.138.233.226 table T1
Error Message: rtnetlink: network is unreachable

ip route add 10.51.238.224/28 dev eth1 src 10.51.238.226 table T2
ip route add default via 10.51.238.225 table T2
Error Message: rtnetlink: network is unreachable

If I use the commands without the table T1/T2 I am able to set the
route. But later it doesn't work.
I took the commands from
Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO
Chapter 4.2
And crosschecked with
Redundant Internet Connections Using Linux from
http://www.samag.com/documents/s=1824/sam0201h/0201h.htm

Same effect.
Kernel on Suse9.1: 2.6.4-52
Kernel on IPCop: 2.4.29

Kernel configured with:
CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y
CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y

ip version:
Suse: iproute2-ss020116
ipcop: iproute2-ss010824

Any clues?

Thanks in advance
Joerg
