[gentoo-user] set both an ipv4 and ipv6 default gateway

[gentoo-user] set both an ipv4 and ipv6 default gateway

[Jorge Polinotto]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out the way to set both IPv4 and IPv6 default gateway in
the /etc/conf.d/net file.

I've seen this way [1], adding "iproute2" module, but when I execute:

# insmod iproute2
insmod: can't read 'iproute2': No such file or directory

so I guess it's not in my kernel and I don't know where to add it.

[1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-881529-start-0.html

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jorge.-

iproute2 is not a kernel modules. It's a userspace app that openrc 
calls a module (ifconfig is an alternaive module for example).

Don't insmod it. Just use the net service as normal

emerge -av iproute2

Then in /etc/conf.d/net make sure that the routes_eth0 setting has 2
(*two*) lines like the forum thread you posted, first line is the IPv4
route and second line th IPv6 route.

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] set both an ipv4 and ipv6 default gateway

[Jorge Polinotto]

Hi all!

Thanks Pandu for your help.

Executing:

# emerge iproute2

and in /etc/conf.d/net:

routes_eth0=( "default via A.B.C.D
	default via AA:BB:CC:DD::1")

it works!

Regards!

No problem.

Ah, you're still using baselayout-1, I see.

Remember to drop the parentheses and make the route-string to be
multi-line when you upgrade to baselayout-2. E.g.:

routes_eth0="routing_line_1
routing_line_2
routing_line_3"

Rgds,
