Adding Multiple Interfaces to EC2 Ubuntu 12.04
- by nocode
I have a m1.medium Ubuntu 12.04 instance with two ENI's. I have a VPC setup with a private and public subnet.
Private: 10.50.1.0/24
Public: 10.50.101.0/24
I initiated the instance on the private subnet. I configured a NAT instance and route all servers in the private subnet internet access. The route tables on the private subnet point towards the NAT instance and the route table on the public subnet point to the internet gateway.
I am trying to add a public interface on the machine so that I can put it behind a ELB. When I added the second ENI and configured a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces and restarted the network services, I can no longer access from the Public subnet to the Private Subnet.
Works
Private private
Private public
Does not work
Public private
From Public Private, I ran a TCPDUMp on the private machine and can see the request coming in. My guess is it's trying to route over the new Public interface instead of the Private. Here's my route:
default 10.50.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
10.50.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
10.50.101.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
My networking knowledge is limited and I believe I have to add some routes but unsure of what command/syntax needs to be.
