I want to setup Multi gateway on my Ubuntu Machine. 1 for ethernet and another for USB tethering. After browsing, from the below reference

https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Two_Default_Gateways_on_One_System

I have configured my system according to that.

Configuration :

  1. Ethernet as my default route
  2. USB is configured through iproute2, taken reference from above mentioned site

Issue is I am unable to ping through USB interface.

$ ping -I usb0 www.google.co.in
PING www.google.co.in (173.194.117.88) from 192.168.42.122 usb0: 56(84) bytes of data.
icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

But traceroute is not able to show the gateway correctly for both USB

$ traceroute -i usb0 173.194.117.88
traceroute to 173.194.117.88 (173.194.117.88), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

  • Routing tables look fine. Did you add the proper rules, e.g ip rule add from 192.168.42.122/32 table usbrt. What's the output of ip rules show?

  • please find the output for $ ip rule show in above edited "Routing Information". Regarding $ ip rule add. I used the same mentioned command by you.

1 Answer 1

Reset to default
1

Finally i got the answer. use "Interface_IP" instead of "Interface_name" in ping
example :
use 

ping -i 192.168.42.122 www.google.co.in

instead of 

ping -i eth0 www.google.co.in
