Linux Routing

Ubuntu 11.04 Network Manager with 2 Interfaces
Lately I’ve been using my T-Mobile Jet Stick Broadband to connect to the Internet from my current customer. The reason for this is mainly that I’m not allowed to put my laptop on their network for security reason (and HIPPA, probably).
This morning I setup the HP ILO2 service processor on a DL380 G5 that I’m rebuilding with Oracle Linux 5.2 and wanted to be able to connect to directly to the ILO2 via the physical Ethernet port in my laptop. Additionally, I needed to simultaneously connected to the Internet via the T-Mobile stick.
For some reason, no matter the order I put the interfaces in, Network-Manager would always set the preferred routing over the physical cable!. Since that is only connected to a single ILO2, without a switch or router in between, that’s pretty useless as it tries to route all IP traffic via the ILO2!
So, I decided to plug both things in, then manipulate the routing table. Hopefully, here are all the commands to share:
Initial Routing Table
Routing table with the T-Mobile plugged in and with the ethernet plugged in. You can see the entry for the T-Mobile has an Iface entry of ppp0 (point-to-point) and the HP ILO2 has the interface of eth0.
netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 126.10.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 126.10.8.33 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The important thing to notice is the default gateway, Flags=UG, is 126.10.8.33, which is the IP address of the HP ILO2 device. Not what we need!
Step 1: Remove that weird 169.254.0.0 entry
sudo route del -net 169.254.0.0/16 [sudo] password for dante: dante@dexter:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 126.10.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 126.10.8.33 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Step 2: Now remove the UG route
sudo route del -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 126.10.8.33 eth0 dante@dexter:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 126.10.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
Step 3: Add 10.64.64.64 as the default gateway
sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 10.64.64.64 ppp0 route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 126.10.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
Step 4: Check traceroute for internet and lan
dante@dexter:!$traceroute -n 126.10.8.33 traceroute to 126.10.8.33 (126.10.8.33), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets dante@dexter:~$ traceroute -n 74.1.46.163 traceroute to 74.1.46.163 (74.1.46.163), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 10.168.187.42 96.535 ms 96.455 ms 96.419 ms 2 10.168.187.45 96.386 ms 96.354 ms 96.242 ms 3 10.168.187.68 96.204 ms 106.176 ms 106.149 ms 4 10.168.187.49 106.124 ms 106.099 ms 106.078 ms 5 10.170.206.5 106.058 ms 89.680 ms 89.613 ms 6 10.170.206.10 89.580 ms 89.517 ms 89.484 ms 7 10.161.59.13 89.454 ms 89.424 ms 99.408 ms 8 10.176.188.194 99.377 ms 99.288 ms 89.795 ms 9 10.176.188.150 89.728 ms 89.697 ms 89.666 ms 10 4.53.73.145 99.592 ms 99.476 ms 89.621 ms 11 * * * 12 166.90.203.2 89.443 ms 89.290 ms 89.255 ms 13 192.168.7.14 89.590 ms 89.474 ms 89.441 ms 14 74.1.46.161 99.324 ms 109.329 ms 109.300 ms 15 74.1.46.163 119.147 ms 109.635 ms 109.556 ms

Some thoughts on Seth Godin’s Recession Piece
September 29th, 2011 · No Comments
I was just reading one of Seth’s blog entries, refered to my by Lighting Essentials via his facebook page. Seth’s blog post can be found at: The forever recession (and the coming revolution) Trackback at “http://www.typepad.com/services/trackback/6a00d83451b31569e2015391e6aa1b970b”.
I basically agree with most of Seth’s points about the death of the Industrial Revolution and the decline of the proximity workers who could demand higher wages. In fact, this is something near and dear to my heart and I really don’t understand why there are no governments in the world, AFAIK, that are actually dealing with this.
I went to a trade show with some brass at Ford Motor Company way back in 1993. This event was to show the brass the new and improved machinery to use in plants to make components of automobiles. The thing that struck me most was when a vendor told us:
The beauty of these new products is that they only require a basic 8th grade education. By basic, I mean, the worst schools in the US, if a person gets through 8th grade he/she is fully capable of operating this machine at peak efficiency!
The VP from Ford looked at me and said,
That’s fine and dandy for the bottom line, but what the hell are we going to do with all the people we put out of work…no one has a plan for that eventuality!
Wow!This was 1993, and you know what, we still don’t have a plan!
It’s fine and dandy for Seth to say that if you have a connection, you have a factory. But that works for maybe 10% of the world’s population. You figure another 10% is basically agrarian, so what the hell do we, the remaining 80%, do for a living? How do we earn money so we can spend it on the 10% factory owners with their single laptop and the 10% of the folks that want to feed us????
It’s painfully obvious to me that the whole ‘Higher Education’ will save us, is a crock. Mind you, I’m a strong believer in education as long as it’s education that teaches you how to think, how to solve problems, how to better communicate, how to have empathy and spirituality, but that ain’t what we got anymore. Higher education became an industry.
I communicate daily with college grads with some real world experience (>5 years) world-wide on almost a daily basis, and they haven’t learned the basics of how to learn! Great, as long as someone produces a manual, but who are we going to get to produce that manual? Some factory on a laptop operated by some unknown person with no references or credibility??? And who’s going to have a job to pay for this manual, so that the factory owner can afford their laptop and government subsidized Internet and electricity and health benefits????
Why is it only a handful of people world-wide are even asking this question???

Today’s Travel Adventure
June 29th, 2011 · No Comments
Here’s today’s travel adventure.
It actually started last night, stopped and got dinner, turned in the
rental car and checked into the Tampa Airport Marriott for a few hours
of sleep.
Woke up at 04:00, took a quick shower then went downstairs to check-in
at Delta and that’s where the adventure started 
For some reason, still under investigation, my reservation couldn’t be
found at the check-in kiosk. So, I broke out my laptop and checked to
make sure that I listed OK and it looked good to me. A ticket agent
asked me what was wrong, so I told her what was going on and she said
she’d take a look. Well, simultaneously, some a-hole next to me started
screaming at the ticket agent that was helping me because 4 people went
ahead of him and he had been waiting 7 minutes! Oh, the horror He was
screaming in my ear, wanted everyone’s names, requested red coats and
managers and kept screaming at the girl helping me out! So, they pretty
much ignored him, which made him even madder. What a great experience to
have at 04:30 in the morning!
So, she found me in one of their other reservation systems and took my
bag, handed me back my cell phone and ID. I didn’t realize it but she
went ahead and checked me in but somehow missed that I wanted to be on a
higher priority ticket but couldn’t hear me over the the a-hole that had
to wait 7 minutes!!!
So, 2 families that listed at this higher priority got on the 06:00 to
ATL, but I didn’t! Mind you, I didn’t know that I was at the wrong
priority since I didn’t see how she checked me in!!!
However, I did get on the 7:15 flight to ATL, which was stuck on a
ground hold, so we arrived to ATL late. Since I was in the back of the
bus (757) it took forever to deplane, so I got the the gate for CLE at
9:20, but that flight was delayed (it was supposed to leave at 9:20 but
was delayed until 9:35) but there were no gate agents to be found! I
couldn’t find anyone with Delta to let me on the plane even though
their automated system said I was cleared!
So, having missed that flight, I called into Delta Res and that’s when I
found out that I wasn’t on the higher priority, but no explanation of
why I couldn’t get on the CLE flight. I got listed on the 12:50 flight
to CLE and got on that flight. In the meantime, Joanie was calling their
help line to see why they couldn’t find me (this happened on the way
down, too, but we thought it was a one-time glitch. She was on hold for
3 hours and basically they told her they didn’t know why I wasn’t
showing up and they would open a ticket!!!!
Hope your day was less adventuresome
