Hello guys,
I configured a Linux 2.2.12 RedHat 6.1 with two identical 3Com 3c59x
boards.
eth0 192.168.3.1
eth1 192.168.3.2
The LAN where this system is linked has two kinds of systems sending and
retrieving data to/from
the Linux server:
a) systems sending heavy TCP/IP data transfers to 192.168.3.1: they do
not know 192.168.3.2
b) systems retrieving data from the server using 192.168.3.2: they do not
know 192.168.3.1
The problem is that data is sent from Linux box to requesting systems b)
using 192.168.3.1
Reason:
netstat shows
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt
Iface
192.168.3.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0
192.168.3.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth1
192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth1
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
lo
default 192.168.3.7 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
I think the solution to turn around this problem is to remove the
destination
192.168.3.0 -> eth0
But, is there a better solution to force data to be sent using the
requesting device, this means
any connection received from 192.168.3.1 will use eth0 to send back the
answer data meanwhile
any connection received from 192.168.3.2 will use eth1 to send back the
answer.
Other question:
Is there a tool to measure the data transfer speed ? Currently this
configuration is sending
a 64MB file on 40 seconds this means ~ 16 Mbs meanwhile linked to a 100Mb
LAN with 100Mb network
adapters.
Last question:
How to introduce a subscription to this forum ?
