Hi all,
For my home network I am generally using wireless to get connected to the
network and the internet.
However for copying some large files I use the wire.
That means I get 2 IPs in the same range.
And both interfaces get the same metric : 0.
I found out I can modify the metric for the default route using
metric_wlan0.
Code:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00
eth0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00
wlan0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG2 00
eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG10000
wlan0
(this is not the full routing table)
However this changes the metric of the default route.
Not of the route that is specifically for the local network.
of course I can do this manually.
However that is alot of hassle and seems to be something that should be
configurable use files.
Does anyone knows how I can accomplish this? Or how I can change the metric
for
each route for the wlan0 interface?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
you can use net-analyzer/ifmetric.
I found this solution not satisfying, but don't remember why.
I guess some corner cases.
I have bonded the interfaces on my laptop. The bonding driver will prefer
using the wired when
it is connected.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/net:
# eth0
config_eth0=( null )
# wlan
modules=( wpa_supplicant )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext
config_wlan0=( null )
modules_wlan0=( !plug )
ifplugd_wlan0=--api-mode=wlan
# bond
slaves_bond0=eth0 wlan0
dhcpcd_bond0=--noipv4ll --nolink -t 15
config_bond0=( dhcp )
