Hi, At one of our servers here, we have about 11 ip adresses allocated to it.
However, when I try to add an additonal interface, the server cannot traceroute to anywhere anymore. In particular, the last couple of entries in the routing table look strange: 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 26201 eth0:11 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 2233 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default our.gate.way.ip 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 13866 eth0:11 where 100.100.100.0 is our entire network. eth0:11 is the last interface we added in /etc/init.d/network. With this, everything still works fine. Now, when I add an additional interface, eth0:7 which isn't used before, the routing tables change to the following: 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0:7 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 26251 eth0:11 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 2233 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default our.gate.way.ip 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 16 eth0:7 And the machine can no longer traceroute to anywhere. Could anyone please tell me how to change it to use eth0 for default instead of 11 or 7. Thanks in advance.
