Hi, On my HOST (FC6), i have two User Mode Linux (UML) clients.
To make one of the UMLs IP Forwarder, I thought of a setup as shown in the
diagram attached where a line between two interfaces indicates that both
have same class IP addresses. But it raises following issues:
(I used following IP Addresss:
host->tap1 = 180.31.5.200 /24
host->tap0 = 172.31.5.253 /24
UML1->eth0 = 172.31.5.254 /24
UML1->eth0:0 = 198.162.10.4 /24
UML2->eth0 = 180.31.5.201 /24
UML2->eth0:0 = 198.162.10.3 /24
)
1) UML1->eth0:0 and UML2->eth0:0 never get connected this way even if we
assign same class IPs to them. (So, i should not have shown a line between
them). So, is this an infeasible setup?
2) Secondly, at host, i dont want to make default gateway . It affects my
ppp0 interface also which connects to Internet.
I tried "route add -net 172.31.5.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 172.31.5.254"
which does not solve the problem. Is it wrong?
