Linux Tip : How to fix Route issues

Today we are going to learn how to fix route issues on Linux. Suppose you have 2 NIC interface (one is for public traffic - 100 GBPS Link and other one in Private interface for private communication 10 GBPS Link ).

What is the exact issue ?

Initially our customers reported that they were unable to reach internet on the box (They tried performing ping 8.8.8.8 -or- ping google.com). It was not working via both IP and domain name even tried with browser.

So lets begin the troubleshooting :

Step 1 : Replicate the issue from your side, because we need to be 100% sure before deep diving.

Step 2 : We were able to replicate the same. It was 100% packet loss. So now we need to check if the public interface is up and running or not. Our public interface is eth1 so run command : ip a

This will show you if interface is UP / Down. Eth1 was up and running here.

Step 3 : Next I was interested to see how is the traffic going out - is it crossing any single hop or not , whether Gateway is reachable or not. To find that , you can use TRACE ROUTE Command.

Using traceroute helped to identify that the traffic was actually going via the private interface gateway instead of public interface. This indicates something was wrong with routing table.

Step 4 : Use netstat -rn or ip route show command to see the route. Checked the outgoing traffic 0.0.0.0 and found it was mapped to Private gateway.

Step 5 : Now as we have identified the cause, it's time to change the route to Public. Use below command :

ip route change 0.0.0.0/0 via <PublicNic Gateway IP> dev eth1

Step 6 : This helped us to fix the issue. But note this is not a persistent route i.e. if system reboots these changes will get removed. so time to make it persistent, use the below command :

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/routes-eth0

now in VI Editor just add the routes you want like below

10.86.128.0/20 via 10.25.68.1

10.86.192.0/18 via 10.25.68.1

172.23.128.0/18 via 10.25.68.1

Hope this was helpful to get an insight. Going forward will also post how Route table works in Windows.

How to see remote changes before doing Git Pull

Before going through the steps, lets first understand what is the purpose of GIT Pull ? In simple terms, GIT PULL is a GIT Command which access the Remote repository and checks which all files were modified or created and is different from the local repository. Once it finds that info, it downloads those file to your local repository. Technically speaking, GIT Pull runs 2 commands i.e GIT Fetch and GIT Merge in background. GIT Fetch downloads the latest change to the local repository while GIT Merge merges the remote content refs and heads to new local merge commit. so you can say the below is same : GIT Pull <remote> -or- GIT Fetch <remote> GIT Merge origin/master So lets begin with the steps on how to see the remote (origin/master) changes before doing Git Pull : Git fetch origin Git log master..origin/master Git diff master..origin/master Git pull / Git merge origin/master Happy Leaning!

Powershell Tip : How to find the IP Address of a VM from a HyperV

Today we are going to see how to fetch the IPv4 Address details of a VM from a HyperVisor console. We will be using Powershell to achieve the same with a One-Liner code. You can modify the Command as per your need. Our requirement is to check Only the Running VM's and get the VM Name and its corresponding IPv4 Address. So lets get started. CODE (Execute in HyperV ): Get-VM | ? State -eq "Running" | select Name, @{l="IPv4Address";e={($_.NetworkAdapters.IPAddresses -match "(?<Address >((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?))")} } CODE DETAILS : 1. Get-VM : Fetches the VM List present on the HyperVisor 2. ? State -EQ "Running" : It is similar to Where-Object {$_.State -eq "Running"} , here we are using where-object to fetch only the Running VM list from the Pipeline. 3. NetworkAdapters properties of the VM Contains the IPAddresses information, we are using IPv4 address Regex to get
