Disabling IP Forwarding on the Standby ECS
Scenarios
If a virtual IP address is used in an active/standby scenario, disable IP forwarding on the standby ECS.
Linux
- Log in to the ECS.
- Run the following command to switch to user root:
su root
- Check whether IP forwarding is enabled:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
In the command output, 1 indicates it is enabled, and 0 indicates it is disabled. The default value is 0.
- If 1 is displayed, go to 4.
- If 0 is displayed, no further action is required.
- Use either of the following methods to modify the configuration file:
- Method 1: Use the vi editor to open the /etc/sysctl.conf file, change the value of net.ipv4.ip_forward to 0, and enter :wq to save the change and exit.
- Method 2: Use the sed command. An example command is as follows:
sed -i '/net.ipv4.ip_forward/s/1/0/g' /etc/sysctl.conf
- Make the modification take effect:
Windows
- Log in to the ECS.
- Open Command Prompt and run the following command:
ipconfig/all
In the command output, if the value of IP Routing Enabled is No, the IP forwarding function is disabled.
- Press Windows and R keys together to open the Run box, and enter regedit to open the Registry Editor.
- Set the value of IPEnableRouter under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters to 0.
- If the value is set to 0, IP forwarding will be disabled.
- If the value is set to 1, IP forwarding will be enabled.
