ip routing for extra eni on RHEL ec2 instances

772

I have noticed that when one add an additional ENI on an ec2, getting routing to work is so difficult and there is no documentation anywhere to refer to.

I do know that if one uses the Amazon Linux ami, everything works well automatically without any extra work. But using any other ami, one has to configure the routing to work.

Now here is the problem BELOW...see how the non-mazon Linux can ping both eth0 and eth1 ENIs on the Amazon Linux but the Amazon Linux cannot ping the eth1 of the non-Amazon Linux

Just to add exactly what i did and things started to work

Just added the following 4 lines from the URL @strongjz mentioned

non-Amazon Linux

ip route add default via 10.11.2.1 dev eth0 tab 1
ip route add default via 10.11.2.1 dev eth1 tab 2

ip rule add from 10.11.2.20/32 tab 1 priority 500
ip rule add from 10.11.2.247/32 tab 2 priority 600

And the rest was history..all ping works to all interfaces, both eth0 and eth1!!!

All thanks to this URL https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=404398

I have had this problem before and found this blog post to be helpful

Something about the routes not being setup properly. I have added this to the Userdata script so when it boots the routes get added properly. It's assuming that a new ENI us being attached at eth1.

# Use the AWS CLI to get the id of the ENI to be attached
  NETWORK_INTERFACE_ID=`aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters "Name=status,Values=available" "Name=tag:Name,Values=$ENI_NAME" "Name=subnet-id,Values=$SUBNET_ID" --output json --query "NetworkInterfaces[0].NetworkInterfaceId" | grep -o 'eni-[a-z0-9]*'`
  # Attach the ENI (and display the attachment id)
  echo "Attaching ENI:$ENI_NAME  NETID:$NETWORK_INTERFACE_ID Index:$ENI_INDEX"

  aws ec2 attach-network-interface --network-interface-id $NETWORK_INTERFACE_ID --instance-id $SELF_INSTANCE_ID --device-index $ENI_INDEX


  printf '\nauto eth1\niface eth1 inet dhcp' >> /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth1.cfg

  GATEWAY=`ip route | awk '/default/ { print $3 }'`
  #get the secondary ip
  SECOND_IP=`aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters  "Name=tag:Name,Values=$ENI_NAME" "Name=subnet-id,Values=$SUBNET_ID" --output text --query "NetworkInterfaces[0].PrivateIpAddress"`
  #add the routes



  echo "Adding the IP routes and rules for secondary $SECOND_IP"
  printf "\nup ip route add default via $GATEWAY dev eth1 tab 2\n" >> /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth1.cfg
  printf "up ip rule add from $SECOND_IP/32 tab 2 prio 1000\n" >> /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth1.cfg

  sleep 20 # the attach takes some time to happen

  systemctl restart networking.service

  ifup eth1

  ip rule list

  ifconfig
