I have configured two network interfaces in my server based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Below is configuration from /etc/network/interfaces: Code: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto enp1s0 enp2s0 iface enp1s0 inet static address 192.168.100.206 network 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.100.255 #gateway 192.168.100.2 #dns-nameservers 192.168.100.2 iface enp2s0 inet static address X.X.X.181 network X.X.X.176 netmask 255.255.255.248 gateway X.X.X.177 dns-nameservers Y.Y.Y.Y Z.Z.Z.Z Below is routing table: Code: sadmin@scolo006:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 X.X.X.177 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 enp2s0 X.X.X.176 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 enp2s0 192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 enp1s0 Code: sadmin@scolo006:~$ ip route default via X.X.X.177 dev enp2s0 onlink X.X.X.176/29 dev enp2s0 proto kernel scope link src X.X.X.181 192.168.100.0/24 dev enp1s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.100.206 I can ping public interface (ping command executed from this server, it's his public interface): Code: sadmin@scolo006:~$ ping X.X.X.181 PING X.X.X.181 (X.X.X.181) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from X.X.X.181: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms ^C --- X.X.X.181 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.027/0.027/0.027/0.000 ms But I can't ping gateway, google.com, 8.8.8.8, one word - anything: Code: sadmin@scolo006:~$ ping google.com ping: unknown host google.com sadmin@scolo006:~$ ping X.X.X.177 PING X.X.X.177 (X.X.X.177) 56(84) bytes of data.

There "ip route" gives a little another output - there isn't "onlink": Code: default via X.X.X.177 dev em4 Other things like routing table looks identical. No idea what is wrong...
