static route randomly ignored












2















I have a couple of Linux guest VMs with bridged network to my physical adapter. For a certain reason I can't use the subnet of my host machine for the guests (and virtual adapter is too slow for me), so I created a separate subnet for them.



On host I added the guest subnet:



C:> route add 192.168.20.0 mask 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 metric 1


On guests:



# route add -host 192.168.148.87 dev eth3 # my host ip


It mostly works:



basin@BASIN /cygdrive/c/Users/basin
$ tracert -d 192.168.20.20

Tracing route to 192.168.20.20 over a maximum of 30 hops

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.20.20

Trace complete.

basin@BASIN /cygdrive/c/Users/basin
$ tracert -d 192.168.20.21

Tracing route to 192.168.20.21 over a maximum of 30 hops

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.20.21

Trace complete.


But it looks like some packets go through the gateway:



basin@BASIN /cygdrive/c/Users/basin
$ tracert -d 192.168.20.23

Tracing route to 192.168.20.23 over a maximum of 30 hops

2 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.200.1 0
3 192.168.200.1 reports: Destination host unreachable.

Trace complete.


SSH connections to the guests often stall. What am I doing wrong?

Could it be that OS sends some ICMP request to different places and the reply overrides my static route? How to check this?

Static routes are only used if the target address is not on directly connected network. In your case all hosts are on directly connected networks, so the static routes are ignored.
