I have an UBUNTU server VM installation with two NICs. eth0 is on the LAN network, configured by DHCP and is working fine. I manually configured eth1 with a static IP on the DMZ network but can't ping it, I think this might be a routing issue but I'm new to this so any help would be appreciated! Please see below for 'ifconfig eth1' and 'route -n':

Destination    Gateway      Genmask        Flags  Metric  Ref  Use  Iface
0.0.0.0        172.20.20.1  0.0.0.0        UG     100     0    0    eth1
172.20.10.0    0.0.0.0      255.255.255.0  U      0       0    0    eth0
172.20.20.0    0.0.0.0      255.255.255.0  U      0       0    0    eth1

eth1

Based on the answer to my comment above...

You should let know to the other machines on the LAN how to reach the 172.20.20.0/24 subnet.

You said that the LAN address is assigned by DHCP. So I suppose this server is not your default gateway for the LAN.

First, you should reconfigure it as a static address (say 172.20.10.100), then:

  • Put a route for 172.20.20.0/24 via 172.20.10.100 (the static LAN IP) on the default gateway of your LAN.

  • Enable ip forwarding on your server, by issueing the command:

    sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Note: to permanently enable ip forwarding edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf and make sure it has the line net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1. On my ubuntu machine there's something like:

# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
#net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
