[solved] for a network master: how to setup 2 network cards ???

ricco75 · 2021-06-01 20:40:12

hello
I'am a newbie on linux and i dont't understand...
I have 2 ethernet cards :
enp0s10 (motherboard rj45)
enp0s4f1u4 (USB / RJ 45)

for each card i have made a profile in /etc/netctl :

nano enp0s10_ipfixe :

Description='Static ethernet connection enp0s10'
Interface=enp0s10
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.0.90/24')
Gateway='192.168.0.254'
DNS=('192.168.0.254')
AutoWired=yes

nano enp0s4f1u4_ipfixe :

Description='Static ethernet connection enp0s4f1u4'
Interface=enp0s4f1u4
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
#Address=('192.168.2.90/24')
Address=('192.168.2.253/24')
Gateway='192.168.2.254'
DNS=('192.168.2.254')
AutoWired=yes

if i boot my computer and i execute manually 1 of the 2 profile it's working well :

sudo netctl start enp0s4f1u4_ipfixe

or

sudo netctl start enp0s10_ipfixe

but never work together ????? why ?

Thanks

Don't do that...

Also https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 - the problem is underspecified.

Let's start w/ "does not work": do you get any error messages?
If not, how do you define "does not work" and what are the outputs of "ip a" and "ip r"
And what are your expectations about "does work"? Do you want to create a bridge or just have access to two subnets?

Hello
i'am not near my computer but i will explain it

1) at the boot
if i execute

ip link

I show ethercat interfaces : enp0s10 Down / enp0s4f1u4 Down

if i execute

sudo netctl start enp0s10_ipfixe

if i execute

ip link

I show ethercat interfaces : enp0s10 UP / enp0s4f1u4 Down
ifconfig : enp0s10 is ok with good ip....

if i execute

sudo netctl start enp0s4f1u4_ipfixe

card stay down
nothing append

No. You will read the link I posted, then when having access to the system, post the actual output. Otherwise this isn't going anywhere.

Ok i will to it when i will back home.
But i found same problem solved :

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137307

what mean exactly :

"and then added the NETWORKS=() array into the rc.conf along with net-profiles in the DAEMONS=() array and reboot the box smile"

seth · 2021-06-02 13:15:19

rc.conf doesn't exist anymore for years and this will have done hardly more than starting the two interfaces - what I gather doesnotwork™ for you.

ricco75 · 2021-06-02 16:35:58

first boot
every ethernet card are down.

i do

sudo netctl start enp0s10_ipfixe

everything are ok for the card : enp0s10
good ip, card up

i do now :

sudo netctl start enp0s4f1u4_ipfixe

no change card enp0s4f1u4 stay down and no ip :

If I reboot computer and my first command is for the card : enp0s4f1u4

sudo netctl start enp0s4f1u4_ipfixe

it's working for enp0s4f1u4

command for the enp0s10 do nothing :

sudo netctl start enp0s10_ipfixe

card is down no ip

only one card at a time seems to work

Problem solved by a french member on Arch french forum : benjarobin

Not possible to have 2 gateways

[link]https://forums.archlinux.fr/viewtopic.p … 68#p176668[/link]

seth · 2021-06-02 17:21:16

You can have as many gateways as you want - but only one can be the default.
What does the routing table (forementioned "ip r"...) look like w/ your current configuration?

Koatao · 2021-06-02 22:53:50

Hello,

To clarify what seth said, you can have one default gateway per interface per network. Meaning you can have multiple default route in your routing table.

Like so for example (3 interfaces, 2 networks, 4 addresses, 4 default routes, 3 different gateway's IP addresses):

# ip -4 a
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    altname enp0s3
    inet 10.0.2.15/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global dynamic eth0
       valid_lft 86188sec preferred_lft 86188sec
    inet 192.168.33.10/24 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    altname enp0s8
    inet 192.168.33.208/24 brd 192.168.33.255 scope global dynamic eth1
       valid_lft 43024sec preferred_lft 43024sec
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    altname enp0s9
    inet 192.168.33.138/24 brd 192.168.33.255 scope global dynamic eth2
       valid_lft 43024sec preferred_lft 43024sec
[root@archlinux ~]# ip r
default via 192.168.33.1 dev eth0

default via 192.168.33.254 dev eth2 proto dhcp src 192.168.33.138 metric 1024 
10.0.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.15 
10.0.2.2 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 10.0.2.15 metric 1024

192.168.33.254 dev eth2 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.33.138 metric 1024

I won't go any further about iproute2 and routing, but we can do some pretty advanced, funny and nasty stuff with it, don't worry

However, for whatever reason, netctl does not allow to set two default gateway. netctl does even worse than that: it does not ignore the second gateway setting, it just report a failure and does not clean anything it did until the point of configuring the routes (meaning the interface is still configured with the wanted address), which brings a lot of confusion.

@ricco75, Your last post on the french forum opens on another, not directly related, problem. If you still seek support on this forum, I'd recommend you to open another thread and to be more specific about what you are trying to achieve (as this now looks like a XY problem).
