Problem to set up nat router with Mageia 3

[doktor5000]

I set up a router with Mageia 3.
1. set up eth0 which can start up

Code: Select all

    # cat ifcfg-eth0
       DEVICE=eth0
       BOOTPROTO=static
       IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
       NETMASK=255.255.255.252
       GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
       ONBOOT=yes
       METRIC=10
       MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
       USERCTL=no
       DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
       DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
       RESOLV_MODS=no
       IPV6INIT=no
       IPV6TO4INIT=no
       ACCOUNTING=no
       NM_CONTROLLED=no

2. set up eth1 which cannot start

Code: Select all

    # cat ifcfg-eth1
       DEVICE=eth1
       BOOTPROTO=static
       IPADDR=10.0.0.10
       NETMASK=255.255.255.0
       ONBOOT=yes

after I restart the network with "/etc/init.d/network restart"
It seen all thing ok. But I check it with ifconfig. the eth1 cannot start

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/network restart
Restarting network (via systemctl):                                                    [  OK  ]

Code: Select all

# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
          inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  Bcast:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  Mask:255.255.255.252
          inet6 addr: ff80::226:77ff:fe8b:6f30/64 Scope:Link

          RX bytes:18262059 (17.4 MiB)  TX bytes:665314136 (634.4 MiB)

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:1146 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:120784 (117.9 KiB)  TX bytes:120784 (117.9 KiB)

If I start it with " ifup eth1" it can be started.

Please help how to solve this problem, Thanks!

make sure nm_controled is also set to no on eth1

also if this is to be a router you will want ip_forwding switched on

this is done through sysctl.conf

to find the setting you need run sysctl -a|grep forward

then add those entries to /etc/sysctl.conf with there settings chnaged to what you want.

but thats not related to your problem, just something else you may need.
