iptables and keepalived

iptables and keepalived

[muhaimin]

I try keepalived on the firewall.With normal configuration, i could ping 
internal machine to external network.The problem is when i use virtual 
ip address (assigned by keepalived), i couldnt ping the external 
network.Maybe the iptables cant identify the virtual ip.Is there any way 
i can do to solve this ?

Thank you

You cant view your virtual interface with keepalived.It doesnt use 
something like eth0:0.I can just see my real interface

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:25:AB:3F:F4 
          inet addr:10.1.1.102  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:25:AB:3F:F5

          Base address:0x4400 Memory:d0340000-d0360000

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

But i can ping my virtual interface.But not the internal machine.In the 
normal configuration, here is my architecture.


         pc1 ------------eth0 [firewall ] eth0---------------pc2


 

>I use eth0 ip as gateway for pc1 and eth0 as a gateway for pc2.I can just ping until eth0 for pc1 until i do this in my iptables

$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F INPUT
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F OUTPUT
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP
$IPTABLES -F FORWARD
$IPTABLES -t nat -F

echo "   FWD: Allow all connections OUT and only existing and related 
ones IN"
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o $INTIF -m state --state 
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -o $EXTIF -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -j LOG

echo "   Enabling SNAT (MASQUERADE) functionality on $EXTIF"
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE

Note that EXTIF= eth0.

Then, i can ping pc2 from pc1.

But when i change both gateway to virtual ip of eth0 and eth1.I cant 
ping both machine.So i suspect iptables doesnt not recognise virtual ip 
of eth0.
