I'm trying to follow the setup described in http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html but I can't add a route to a specific table, it will always be added to the table "main". Feels like a bug in iproute2 to me. Steps to reproduce: ip route add 123.45.67.89 dev ppp0 table 100 ip route show table 100 ip route show table main Expected result: route listed in table 100 but not listed in table main Actual result: route listed in table main, table 100 still empty
I just found out that I had to set CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER and CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES for my kernel, and after this it works. Still it feels like an error to silently ignore an unsupported argument; I talked to some debian user and he recalled getting some error message under these circumstances.
please send an e-mail to netdev@vger.kernel.org as they would be the people who could give you real information
