I have a block of 5 ips xx.xx.201.61 - xx.xx.201.65
Ubuntu 11.10 and ISP 1.07
When i loginto Ubuntu i see my primary ip on eth0 and 2 other ones that ive configured on virtual interfaces of eth0:2 and eth0:3
Usage of /: 1.4% of 915.63GB IP address for eth0: xx.xx.201.61
Memory usage: 5% IP address for eth0:2: xx.xx.201.62
Swap usage: 0% IP address for eth0:3: xx.xx.201.63
so thats all good and my interfaces contents are :
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xx.xx.201.61
netmask 255.255.255.0
network xx.xx.201.0
broadcast xx.xx.201.255
gateway xx.xx.201.1
so in the reseller interface the 2nd ips are indeed listed on eth0 and i can ping all the addresses on the local box so thats great. My problem is i can't reach the .62 and .63 from the outside. I have no firewall and the box is sitting right on the internet connected to the cable modem.
The websites on the virtual interfaces are not reachable, I can't even ping these ip adddresses. I can ping xx.xx.201.61 and all websites on that ip work fine. However, pinging xx.xx.201.62 and xx.xx.201.63 fail.
ifconfig

can anyone lend any thoughts about how to get these websites working? One thing I noticed on the virtual interfaces is that the netmask is xx.255.255.255 and the mask is 255.255.255.255 and I was expecting it to be 255.255.255.0,since I'm using a /24 but i'm no expert. I am using these alternate ip addresses for SSL Certificates so if you were wondering
Thanks a lot guys!
