Hi ,

Need help setting up Ubuntu server as a router with two NICs to route traffic between two private subnets. Need to ping/connect from client1 to client2 via router instance.

Ex: Ubuntu Router Instance: nic1 10.2.1.8 nic2 192.168.1.4

Client1 nic1 10.2.1.6 gateway 10.2.1.8

Client2 nic1 192.168.1.6 gateway 192.168.1.4

Router Instance info:

sudo sysctl -p net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

ubuntu@router-1:~$ ifconfig

I was advised I can do it through neutron. (this worked) neutron port-update nicportid --allowed_address_pairs list=true type=dict ip_address=subnet Problem is this would require massive overhead, anyway to allow this for project user to do this?

Hi,

router-1: - 10.2.1.0/24 - 192.168.1.0/24

client-1: - 10.10.10.5

client-2: - 192.168.1.0/24

1) Looks to me like your client-1 is not even connected to the 10.2.1.0/24 network that router-1 is connected to. 2) client-2 uses 192.168.1.3 as the default gateway while router-1 has 192.168.1.4

cheers mathias
