GRE/IPIP tunnel support on VE [message #6672]

Hello all

I'm trying to add an ip tunnel inside a VE, but with no luck. I'd try two ways:

1.- Inside the VE, I did run:
-bash-3.00# ip tunnel add tunel0 mode gre local 10.1.2.3 remote 10.2.3.4
ioctl: No such device

2.- From the HW node, I did create the tunnel interface, and then, trying to add it to the VE:

[root@hwnode /]#ip tunnel add tunel0 mode gre local 10.1.2.3 remote 10.2.3.4
[root@hwnode /]# vzctl set 100 --netdev_add tunel0 --save
Bad parameter for --netdev_add: tunel0

Is possible to use IP tunnels (GRE/IPIP) in OpenVZ enviroment?

HW machine running CentOS 4.4 with kernel 2.6.9-023stab016

thx in advance.
Javier.

Check that gre/ipip kernel modules are loaded in HN.
You also should add r/w device permissions for tunel device for VE using --devnode command of vzctl and then use device inside VE.

HTH,

Hello,

the modules are loaded:

[root@icmnms ~]# lsmod | grep gre
ip_gre 10912 0
[root@icmnms ~]#

How can I see what device is under /dev, any network interface? /dev/tunel0 does not exist..... /dev/eth0 doesn't to....

Thx!

Sorry I don't quite get your question...
To see devices under /dev you can do ls Smile

Are we specing about /dev inside VE or on HN?
If so, why eth0 should be there?

So, please, ask providing more details!

Thanks!

first of all, thanks for your help vass

I need to have a tunnel gre interface inside my VE. I cannot create it inside the VE using the tipicall way (ip tunnel add.... comand).

I also did try to pass it to the VE (vzctl set 100 --netdev_add tunel0 --save.... command), but it didn't work too.

Now, you suggest me to make the interface RW... but i don't know how.
Can you tell me the command that you guess I should write? Something like "vzctl set 100 --devnode tunel0 rw"??

What a nightmare..... Rolling Eyes

Thx

PD: sorry my english.....

Hello,

I suppose you should use

vzctl set 100 --devnodes tunel0:rw

And then do everything like usual inside VE.

HTH,
vass.

No luck

[root@HWNODE ~]# vzctl set 100 --devnodes tunel0 rw
Bad parameter for --devnodes: tunel0
[root@HWNODE ~]#

I'm afraid that Openvz does not support this kind of network interfaces inside a VE.....

Regards.

It means, that file
/dev/tunel0 doesn't exist.
Maybe tunnel0? Smile

Please, provide `ls /dev/tun*` output (on HN)...

You need set interface up in HW before move it into VE:
ip tunnel add tunel0 mode gre local 10.1.2.3 remote 10.2.3.4
ip link set up dev tunel0

Now you can move tunnel interface into VE:
vzctl set 100 --netdev_add tunel0 --save

This work for me on debian-3.1 with kernel 2.6.8-022stab078.14

Hello,

Actually, I have mentioned all commands in the previous message Smile

Just make sure the interface is in UP state on the HW

ip tunnel add tunel0 mode gre local 10.1.2.3 remote 10.2.3.4
ip link set up dev tunel0
vzctl set 100 --netdev_add tunel0 --save

I didn't try this now, but 11 years ago it worked, so I'm going to assume it still works.

Thank you.
