#!/usr/bin/python """ linuxrouter.py: Example network with Linux IP router This example converts a Node into a router using IP forwarding already built into Linux. The example topology creates a router and three IP subnets: - 192.168.1.0/24 (r0-eth1, IP: 192.168.1.1) - 172.16.0.0/12 (r0-eth2, IP: 172.16.0.1) - 10.0.0.0/8 (r0-eth3, IP: 10.0.0.1) Each subnet consists of a single host connected to a single switch: r0-eth1 - s1-eth1 - h1-eth0 (IP: 192.168.1.100) r0-eth2 - s2-eth1 - h2-eth0 (IP: 172.16.0.100) r0-eth3 - s3-eth1 - h3-eth0 (IP: 10.0.0.100) The example relies on default routing entries that are automatically created for each router interface, as well as 'defaultRoute' parameters for the host interfaces. Additional routes may be added to the router or hosts by executing 'ip route' or 'route' commands on the router or hosts.
