RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: NetworkManager-1.8.0-0.4.rc1.el7
Doc Type: Enhancement

Enhanced networked reliability on multihomed hosts On interfaces with a route that is already present on another interface, the NetworkManager utility now automatically switches the reverse path filtering method from `Strict` to `Loose`. This enhances network reliability on multihomed host machines.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2017:2299 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: NetworkManager and libnl3 security, bug fix and enhancement update 2017-08-01 12:40:28 UTC

Description Lubomir Rintel 2016-11-11 18:26:08 UTC
In a situation where user user enables an address from a range he's using on different interface already on a higher-priority interface, rp_filter drops traffic from the original interface.

That causes the existing connections to time out.

A typical scenario is user with a router, that bridges wired LAN and WLAN plugging in a cable while he's already connected to a WLAN.

We need to figure out what to do about this.

One possibility is relaxing rp_filter on Workstation (from =1 to =2). Another would be dynamically changing the rp_filter if we detect the aforementioned situation.

Currently the rp_filter=1 is enabled by systemd's sysctl.conf.d
