If a Charon host system is to be used as a router (for example as shown in Example of a More Complex Network Configuration) or to provide Internet connectivity to other Charon host and guest systems, it is not sufficient to configure Linux for IP forwarding.
...
- 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).
- Set the correct interface for default route in /etc/sysconfig/network (example: GATEWAYDEV=eth0).
- 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
- Restart the network.
- 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.
- Set rules in the Routing Policy Database (use the command: ip rule add from <ip-address-of-second-interface> lookup <table-id>)
- Create a static route file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface-name>)
- Create a static rule file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-<interface-name>)
