Hi all, I'm checking my configuration at the gateway ampr-italy-gw.ampr.org due to an issue on routing. This gateway is the main one in the Country and manages several subnets interconnected via VPN (OpenVPN). The ampr-italy-gw.ampr.org is the point of contact with the AmprNet and it's handling the IPIP tunnel. I would like to permit traffic from inet to 44-net and vice versa and, of course, only for specific 44-net hosts that have the corresponding entry in the Ampr.org DNS. Well, it doesn't work :) Here is how the ampr-italy-gw.ampr.org router manages the traffic between inet and 44-net: ip rule add from 44.0.0.0/8 table 44 prio 200 GW_ADDR="169.228.66.251" # /sbin/ip route add 128.0.0.0/1 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #128-255 /sbin/ip route add 64.0.0.0/2 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #64-127 /sbin/ip route add 0.0.0.0/3 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #0-31 /sbin/ip route add 48.0.0.0/4 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #48-63 /sbin/ip route add 32.0.0.0/5 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #32-39 /sbin/ip route add 40.0.0.0/6 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #40-43 /sbin/ip route add 46.0.0.0/7 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #46-47 /sbin/ip route add 45.0.0.0/8 via $GW_ADDR dev tunl0 onlink table 44 #45 -- [root@ks28006 ~]# ip rule list 0: from all lookup 255 200: from 44.0.0.0/8 lookup 44 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default The table 44 has a higher priority than the main table where the routes for each gateway are contained (basically what comes from the encap.txt). It should mean that when a 44-net hosts wants to reach an inet host, it happens through the amprnet router at UCSD.edu and not directly via the eth0 interface. Now, if I send ICMP packets from 2.238.198.249 to 44.134.160.1, the following is what I see with tcpdump at the ampr-italy-gw.ampr.org: eth0 (tcpdump -n -i eth0 proto 4) 21:36:36.915644 IP 169.228.66.251 > 91.121.90.186: IP 2.238.198.249 > 44.134.160.1: ICMP echo request, id 1, seq 51, length 40 (ipip-proto-4) 21:36:36.937888 IP 91.121.90.186 > 169.228.66.251: IP 44.134.160.1 > 2.238.198.249: ICMP echo reply, id 1, seq 51, length 40 (ipip-proto-4) tunl0 (tcpdump -i tunl0 host 44.134.160.1) 21:36:36.915664 IP 2-238-198-249.ip245.fastwebnet.it > iw2ohx.ampr.org: ICMP echo request, id 1, seq 51, length 40 21:36:36.937872 IP iw2ohx.ampr.org > 2-238-198-249.ip245.fastwebnet.it: ICMP echo reply, id 1, seq 51, length 40 My understanding is that it's working correctly, because the icmp reply is sent back to 2.238.198.249 inside the tunnel and towards the amprnet router (169.228.66.251). Unfortunately there's something wrong in the middle because no packets are actually reaching 2.238.198.249 C:\Users\marco>ping iw2ohx.ampr.org Pinging iw2ohx.ampr.org [44.134.160.1] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.
