[gentoo-user] Network problem with linux server

Hi All.

This problem is not strictly related to gentoo, however I'm sure someone
here will be able to help me in some way: sorry if I bother you!

I'm having a really strange problem: for some reason, everytime I reboot my
server, the default gateway gets attached to the 'lo' interface, even if I
correctly attached it to the eth0 device.

I fixed the problem editing the /etc/sysconfig/network file and adding

GATEWAY=195.75.145.1
GATEWAYDEV=eth0

however I'm not sure this is the solution: I already configured the default
gateway only in the ifcfg-eth0 file!

After this, I have an even worse problem: doing an ssh 195.75.145.1, I get
an answer from my own server like if it was a loopback address !

Here is the output of ifconfig:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 5C:F3:FC:55:63:42
          inet addr:195.75.145.122  Bcast:195.75.145.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Which Linux distribution are you using?
Gentoo does not use those files.

Try editing the /etc/conf.d/net file to match your network settings.

You are totally right: I'm not using gentoo, but I'm serching for help and
gentoo's mailing list is the most technical one: I'm truly sorry for the OT.

Just some hint about what could be wrong or some command to launch to
understand what's wrong would be great: I'm getting crazy!!

My distribution is CENTOS but couldn't get much help there, so I tried here.

Thanks a lot!

yes. read and follow the manuals provided by your distribution (your 
description doesn't sound gentoo-ish, but EVERY distro should have this 
in their documentation).

Already done.
I asked here because I hoped someone would be able to give me some hint
about why with the routes I sent in the previous e-mail pinging the default
gateway it
pings itself (I verified that pinging every server with address
195.75.145.xxx pings the server itself as if it was a loopback address).

If asking questions on how to do things on non-Gentoo installations,
please always mention the distribution in your email.

What about the documentation?
I have noticed that most binary distros require the use of their graphical
admin tools to make any changes to the configuration.

Ok, sorry again!

What about the documentation?

I read the documentation and tried to carefully follow it. Now I'm getting
this strange behaviour and don't know what's happening.
I tried both editing the config files and using the network config tool,
but with no luck.

I thought it was a routing problem, but as you can see, the routes I sent
seems to be ok.

However, I'm not a networking guru, so I don't know what to look else.
Maybe the arp tables?

Here is the arptables -L output:

Chain IN (policy ACCEPT)
target     source-ip            destination-ip       source-hw
 destination-hw     hlen   op         hrd        pro

Chain OUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     source-ip            destination-ip       source-hw
 destination-hw     hlen   op         hrd        pro

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     source-ip            destination-ip       source-hw
 destination-hw     hlen   op         hrd        pro

you have those link-local entries in your routes (169.254.0.0/16), Try adding 
NOZEROCONF= yes to /etc/sysconfig/network

The routes and ifconfig seems correct to me.

How is the router configured?
I specifically mean, does it have any firewall configurations redirecting
SSH-traffic to your machine?

Hi All.

I don't have access to the routers, however they are used for many other
servers too.
Moreover, I tried the ssh command because I wanted to be sure I was pinging
the right servers (for some reason they can't ping me!) and I discovered
that I was pinging myself.

Moreover I'm trying to ping/ssh on servers that are on the same lan and the
network technician (?!) assured me there is no firewall between my server
and, for example, 195.75.145.33.

Another strange thing I noticed is that :

   1. 195.75.146.104 (that passes through a firewall!!) is able to ping my
   server
   2. 195.75.145.33 (that is on the same net without firewall) is not able
   to ping my server

I have the dubt something strange happens in the routers/switch, etc.
However, since I have that strange behaviour on my machine (ping itself,
etc.), thay says my server is bad configured.

Moreover, 195.75.145.33 is able to ping many other servers on the same net
but mine.

Don't know what else to do...

Massimiliano

Here it is!

seems to be a really tricky one...
What does

Here is the output:

 1:  195.75.145.33 (195.75.145.33)                          0.074ms pmtu
16436
 1:  195.75.145.33 (195.75.145.33)                          0.039ms reached
 1:  195.75.145.33 (195.75.145.33)                          0.028ms reached

I tried shutting down localhost with:

ifconfig lo down.

Now I can't ping 195.75.145.33 anymore (as all the other 195.75.145.xx
addresses).

And now tracepath gives:

1:  send failed
     Resume: pmtu 65535

So, for some reason, seems it always uses the 'lo' device...

Any idea?

I've been deploying multi-interface Linux gateways since 2008, so I'll try.

Please post:

- output of ip rule sh
- output of ip route sh table $t, where $t is *all* table names/numbers you
get from the first output ( "... lookup $t" )

I noticed lo:0 is on the same net and has the same netmask as eth0.
Where does lo:0 come from? Is it needed?
I have no idea, if this is the problem or even related, just wondering.

Our network admin told me to create a lo:0 to that address to create a VIP
to be balanced by the network load balancer.

That is why lo:0 is there...

Thanks!

Maybe I found where the problem is!
Shutting down lo:0 everything seems to work properly!

However I need to configure lo:0 for local triangulation (balancing through
RADWARE): how should I configure it to not conflict with the other network
cards?

Thanks!

I'm going to highlight anomalous routes, those that have no business in the
local table.

These 3 should be in main. In addition, default must not go through dev lo.

195.75.145.120

This is also highly suspect: a subnet should be attached to an ethX dev,
not dev lo. Except 127.0.0.0/8

It's normal for 32767 to be empty, but very irregular for main to be empty.

try assigning a netmask of 255.255.255.255 to it.

Seems to work!
I'm asking to the network administrators if 255.255.255.255 is ok !

I'll let you know!

Thank you all! Gentoo's mailing list il always the best one!

Thanks!

Cool! That should solve the problem of a subnet being associated to dev lo

Anyways, this is also a good knowledge for me :-)
