Need help with routes

Guys,

I am trying to get a proxmox ve server up and running. I am trying to
get routes working on this server, proxmox ve using debian as it's
base.

This server is our data center, we can access all server from our
office via vpn connection.  Most server that are running RHEL the
route looks like this.

# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.0.0.0        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
10.1.0.0        10.1.0.254     255.255.255.0   UG     0      0        0 eth1
172.21.1.0      10.0.0.254  255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth1
default         10.0.0.254  0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

10.0.0.0/24 is prod
10.1.0.0/24 is backup
172.21.1.0/24 is vpn

On the proxmox server I have two nic that are bridge  (vmbr0/eth0) (vmbr1/eth1)

vmbr0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:72:66:71:a5
          inet addr:10.0.0.61  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::213:72ff:fe66:71a5/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

Re: Need help with routes

I'm assuming you wanted persistent routes?

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html

The quick and dirty to add a route with iproute2

ip ro add 1.2,3.4/net via ${gateway}

Re: Need help with routes

Erik,

I can't follow. Maybe I should have asked how to you get what is in CentOS/RHEL

route-eth0

I was told that I could set that up with iproute2. I see from what you
have give em this...

Setup system's static routes based on the "/etc/network/routes" definition

How can I set that up?

Re: Need help with routes

I haven't done it on Debian but online searches seem to suggest you do the persistent routing setup in
/etc/network/interfaces rather than /etc/network/routes for Debian.   (In RHEL you do it in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<nic> as you indicated.)

A couple of the sites I saw:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/configuring-static-routes-in-debian-or-red-hat-linux-systems.html

Re: Need help with routes

Yea,

I found one of those, but the problem is promox ve is re-writing
/etc/networking/interface, so I was hoping that iproutes2 would help,
but it so confusing what to do.

I guess I will reach out the proxmox community to see how I add it,
might be a template.

Sidebar, I wish that the CentOS folks could get their hands Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization. Proxmox is nice becuse I have a web
interface, it works with both OpenVZ and KVM.

Assuming we are talking CentOS/RHEL/SL 6 (use to be different)...

For eth0...

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0

-- 
172.21.1.0/24 via 10.0.0.254
-- 

For eth1...

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1

-- 
10.1.0.0/24 via 10.1.0.254
--

-- 

Not sure what kind of vpn you are talking about but most vpn's don't
require special entries there if the system in question is an endpoint
system for the vpn tunnel itself.  The vpn subsystem will build and tear
down your routes and policies as required by the vpn has it comes and
goes.  Generally, setting up static routes here are almost guaranteed to
fail unless it's a vpn that's anchored on that gateway.  If you're doing
something like this on the system that's actually setting up the vpn

I guess I missed that you were joking above and actually thought you
were now asking for CenOS/RHEL instructions and not tongue in cheek
asking for the opposite of what you wanted.

Re: Need help with routes

 if it were RHEL/CentOS it would be easy. LOL. I love the Proxmox
VE, but because the engine is Debian, it making my life a bit hard. If
I didn't need to add route for the office. I be done. Life of SA.

Thanks,

Chuck

Re: Need help with routes

You could always cheat and just add an init script that issues the route commands at startup after
networking.   

Actually now that I've posted that more or less tongue in cheek it occurs to me that examining your existing
init scripts might tell you which file they're using to do the initial route setup on reboot already.   (e.g.
"grep route *" or "grep ip2route *")

Re: Need help with routes

Well,

Thanks guys for information. I have made progress. I about to hit my
head on the wall.

Just incase anyone uses Promox, if you want to make changes to the
interface file by hand, you need to copy it and save as interface.new,
when the server if rebooted it will pickup that file.

Also, I am about to try it, to get the iproute2 stuff to work, you
have to do something like this...

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

iface eth2 inet manual

iface eth3 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address  10.0.0.61
        netmask  255.255.255.0
        gateway  10.0.0.254
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
