[LARTC] simple (maybe idiot) question

[Wingtung.Leung]

<PRE>Hello,

I'm trying to get started with &quot;tc&quot;, using some online examples, but the
first line already returns an error.

=
$ tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10:0 cbq bandwidth 10 Mbit avpkt 1000

RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
=

What could be wrong? There is a eth0 interface up and running. 

=
$ ip link 

2: eth0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
    link/ether 00:e0:29:64:bf:87 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
=

I use RedHat 6.2 out of the box (kernel 2.2.14), have installed
iproute2-ss990630.

I don't mind a RTFM, it would be fine if someone could point me to the
right docs (except for the source code :-).


Thanks,

Tung

You need lots of stuff enabled in the kernel. Perhaps the HOWTO should
feature a tiny chapter dedicated to this?

For you, this means that you need to recompile the kernel with QoS and
advanced routing features turned on. I asked Alan Cox of RedHat to enable
these features in the RedHat 7.0 kernel, and I think he did it.

<PRE>Thank you, I solved the problem after recompiling the kernel with all
those features turned on. And there was a small type indeed: 10 Mbit
should be 10Mbit.

Thanks again for the help.
