How do I apply multiple subnets to a server with one NIC?
- by Cosban
I am trying to route multiple IPs through one physical NIC on my dedicated server for use with Proxmox KVM VMs. I have a dedicated server which is currently running Debian 4.4.5-8 with 3 available ip addresses for use, which will be displayed as 176.xxx.xxx.196 (main), 176.xxx.xxx.198 (on same subnet as main) and 5.xxx.xxx.166 (different subnet). I am currently trying to route the third IP address with the dedi for use with a vps that I have set up using proxmox v2.x but am having a really, really hard time doing so. Virtual interfaces binding the additional IP addresses work as expected, ruling out external routing problems.
The provider has given the following information for the IP addresses on the main subnet:
gateway: 176.xxx.xxx.193
netmask: 255.255.255.224
broadcast: 176.xxx.xxx.223
As well as the following information for the IP address on the second subnet:
gateway: 5.xxx.xxx.161
netmask: 255.255.255.248
broadcast: 5.xxx.xxx.167
Everything I've tried with /etc/network/interfaces has either not worked, or has rendered the network completely useless.
This is the current state of the file, which has the secondary IP address working on the same subnet as well as IPv6 working, but not the second subnet.
