When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it is often convenient to reference a routing table multiple times - but reject its routing decision if certain constraints are not met by it. Consider this setup: $ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1 $ ip rule add pref 100 table main suppress_prefixlength 0 $ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can be found. By suppressing entries with a prefixlength of 0 (or less), the default route (/0) of the table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to destinations via more specific routes are processed as usual. It is also possible to suppress a routing entry if a device belonging to a specific interface group is to be used: $ ip rule add pref 150 table main suppress_group 1 Signed-off-by: Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek@wertarbyte.de>
