How can I set my linux box as a router to forward ip packets?
- by UniMouS
I am doing a network experiment about ip packet forwarding, but I don't know why it does work.
I have a linux machine with two network interfaces, eth0 and eth1 both with static IP address (eth0: 192.168.100.1, eth1: 192.168.101.2).
My goal is simple, I just want to forward ip packets from eth1 with destination in subnet 192.168.100.0/24 to eth0, and forward ip packets from eth0 with destination in subnet 192.168.101.0/24 to eth1.
I turned on ip forwarding with:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
my routing table is like this:
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.101.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
But, when I try to ping from 192.168.100.25 to 192.168.101.47, it does not work.
