(warning) The above documentation only describes the required steps for Ubuntu. An earlier article for CentOS and Red Hat was removed from the AWS site. So the information presented here may change in the near future.

(warning) Review the section about interface names if using an instance with enhanced networking enabled.

When adding a second IP interface (for example eth1) to the same subnet as the first on the Charon-SSP host, the routing problems described above can occur. To solve them, perform the following basic steps.

  1. Create a configuration file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>) for the second interface (if there is no configuration file for the primary interface, create it as well).
  2. Set the correct interface for default route in /etc/sysconfig/network (example: GATEWAYDEV=eth0).
  3. To prevent the cloud-init from resetting your custom network configurations, add the following lines to the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file:
    network:
      ; config: disabled
  4. Restart the network.
  5. Create an additional routing table (use the command: ip route add <path> dev <interface-name> table <table-id>). There must be an entry for every IP address assigned to the second interface and any other route to be used.
  6. Set rules in the Routing Policy Database (use the command: ip rule add from <ip-address-of-second-interface> lookup <table-id>)
  7. Create a static route file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface-name>)
  8. Create a static rule file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-<interface-name>)
