Linux TCP/IP and Virtual router support

Hi,
As we know linux TCP/IP stack has suport for 255 routing
tables ( FIB tables). I want to use these routing tables for Virtual
Router support. As per Virtual router concept each VR should have
different RIB/FIB table.

Can I use these tables as different RIB/FIB tables for different VR??


Thanks & regards
Kannan

You want the ip tool from the iproute (or iproute2) package. Once you
can have that, you can do things like

ip route add default via 192.168.0.1
ip route add default via 192.168.0.2 table users
ip rule add from 192.168.1.0/24 lookup users
