Spoof protection with redundant routes
I have a box with two redundant CIPE tunnels to a
remote network 10.36.x.x.
Routing table:
Destination Gateway Genmask ... Iface ... 10.36.1.12 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 cipcb3 10.36.1.11 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 cipcb1 10.36.0.0 10.36.1.12 255.255.0.0 UG 0 0 0 cipcb3 10.36.0.0 10.36.1.11 255.255.0.0 UG 0 0 0 cipcb1
...
Now when a packet comes in from 10.36.2.2 on cipcb1, the spoof protection kills it, since the outgoing packet would take the route via cipcb3 which is first. I didn't quite expect that initially.
- Is that known and by design?
- Is that the desired behaviour?
- Is there some possibility to change that?
- Do I have a choice other than to turn off rp_filter?
