[LARTC] "onlink" option for ip route

[RoMaN SoFt / LLFB!!]

 Hi.

 Would someone be so kind to explain "onlink" option to me? Upon
reading "ip command" ref.man. I still don't understand what this
option is intended for. A example where this option may be useful
would be appreciated.

 Regards.

That's right, the one sentence about it is terse.  Maybe someone can be
verbose? ;)

I'm not sure why you would want something to look like one link when it's
really not... hmm, maybe bonding(etherchannel)?

AW: [LARTC] "onlink" option for ip route

[CARSTEN.SCHILL]

Have a look to "Tunnels over IP in Linux-2.2" (ip-tunnels.ps, part of the
iproute package). They use 'onlink' to switch off the consistency check for
gateway reachability during tunnel setup.

Carsten

 Please, couldn't you summarize the meaning of "onlink" option? Is it
necessary or could I remove it in my multipath setting? See my former
posts; basically it's a default route with two nexthops for traffic
balancing between them:

 linux balancer --> gatewayY
(192.168.0.1)       (192.168.5.Y)

(where Y= 1, 2)

 Balancer as well as gateway's are all connected to the same switch.
