Experience with Tun/Tap devices #6

Open WladimirDelaCadena opened 5 years ago

WladimirDelaCadena commented 5 years ago

I have an overlay network which I would like to test using net-mirage. However, I do not manage to make it work, despite I did it on a local network. I think the problem is because nodes in my network start a TUN device and it creates Virtual IPs, which will be used as the new addresses within the network. The app starts normally bound to the corresponding IP provided by net-mirage. But, when the virtual IPs are up, they are not accessible from another host. I am wondering if there are any restrictions about starting virtual NIC bound to the IP provided by net-mirage.

just as update, I solve it, but forwarding data using a forwarding rule between the created IP and the virtual one
