2 Setup

2.1 Create Cluster

host$ git clone https://github.com/thachmpham/lab.git
host$ cd lab/iproute2/2n1r
host$ docker compose build
host$ docker compose up --detach

2.2 Check Connection

host$ docker exec -it h1 bash
h1$ ip -br addr
eth0@if128       UP             10.0.0.2/24

h1$ traceroute -n 20.0.0.2

 2  20.0.0.2  0.506 ms  0.402 ms  0.367 ms

h1$ ping 20.0.0.2
64 bytes from 20.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.133 ms
host$ docker exec -it h2 bash
h2$ ip -br addr
eth0@if127       UP             20.0.0.2/24

h2$ traceroute -n 10.0.0.2

$ docker exec -it rt bash
rt$ ip -br addr
eth0@if129       UP             10.0.0.254/24
eth1@if130       UP             20.0.0.254/24
