Hi.
I have two nics.
eth0 - public lan
eth1 - backup lan
when I change ip address in backup lan or eth1, I cant ping to server.
please advise where seems to be wrong.
thanks.

Can you post the output of “ip addr show” and “route -n”. From where are you pinging? Is there a firewall between the server and the “pinging machine”? How did you change the IP, through YaST or…?

Hi Thomas,
Highlighted in BLUE is for backup NIC.
In GREEN, is the public NIC.
I am not sure if it was configured in YAST. But when I change the IP now… I used command line.
Thanks in advance.

And when you say you can’t ping the server then I assume you ping this IP 30.30.30.15? From where are you trying to ping, is that device on the same network range as 30.30.30.15/8?
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for quick reply.
Am ping from another server that is on different network segment.
I ping by hostname… # ping server1
If no change in eth5 *(backup NIC), I can ping. It will return with hostname and ipaddress 193.18.58.35.
Once I change backup ip add, I cant ping using hostname and ip add at all.

After you change the ip of eth5, post the output of “ip addr show” and “route -n”.

That looks okay to me… strange… The server you are pinging from, is it on the 172.29.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 network?
Thomas
How does your pinging machine get the IP address of the server? If from
DNS, are you updating DNS at the same time that you change the server’s IP
address? If not from DNS, are you updating the /etc/hosts file at the
same time that you change the server’s IP address?
Pinging is a network layer (layer 3) test, so stick with layer three
addresses (IPs) and test that. If that works, then move over to try
application layer (layer seven) tests by verifying DNS is setup correctly.
Avoid merely using hostnames; they are not reliable and are too-dependent
on where your computer is, if they have a search list setup, etc.

Good luck.

Hi kimkhoo,
if I understand your situation right, you’re always pinging the “public” IP address of the server in question, while changing the IP address on the “backup” interface.
One possible reason that pinging the server from your test machine breaks after changing the backup interface IP, is that the ping response, sent by the server, goes out the backup interface. The most likely reason for this would be that the pinging test machine uses a source IP address from the same subnet range as the backup interface of your server (172.29.0.0/16).
Regards,
J
Oh, I forgot to mention:
“The most likely reason for this would be that the pinging test machine uses a source IP address from the same subnet range as the backup interface of your server (172.29.0.0/16).” … and that the VLAN / physical Ethernet segment that the backup interface is connected to, has no direct connection to the test machine sending the pings.
IOW, if the “backup network” is isolated, but using an IP address range that is already used elsewhere, machine connected to the “elsewhere” network will not be able to see IP replies from the server.
Regards,
Jens
Yes. It is on the same subnet…
…and is it on the same physical network segment (or to be more precise, in the same layer 2 broadcast domain)?
