Iptables forwarding




Posted by chaotix, 11-24-2010, 06:28 AM
Hello, I hope this is the right section (if not mods please move), I want to connect 2 networks, connected to my CentOS Server. I have a server which needs to connect to the other network. (EXAMPLE) Two Networks: 192.168.168.0 192.168.169.0 IPs: 192.168.168.1 192.168.169.1 Server1 has both IPs 192.168.168.1 and 192.168.169.1 when the server1 needs to connect to 192.168.169.169 it should route the traffic through 192.168.169.1 IP. I hope this makes sense, I think what I need to do is route traffic using IPtables forwarding but I'm not as experienced with this, please let me know. Thanks.

Traffic cannot be routed through an IP It can be routed through a gateway or an interface.

um... no - just provide correct netmasks for either interfaces, e.g. eth0 as 192.168.169.1/24 and eth1 as 192.168.168.1/24 and the routing table will handle the rest.

Use whatever you used previously to configure your two interfaces, e.g. /etc/network/interfaces in Debian.
