bring wlan0 connectivity to the network namespace linux & test routerOS#

setup network namespace#

  • sudo ip netns add firefoxns

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link add br0-lan type bridge

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip tuntap add tap1 mode tap

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip tuntap add tap2 mode tap

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set dev tap0 master br0-lan

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set dev tap1 master br0-lan

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set dev tap2 master br0-lan

enable the network interface (inside netns)#

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set br0-lan up

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set tap0 up

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set tap1 up

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set tap2 up

create virtual eth pair between host & netns#

  • sudo ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth0-peer

  • sudo ip link set veth0-peer netns firefoxns

assign ip for virtual eth & virtual eth peer#

  • sudo ip addr add 10.200.1.1/24 dev veth0

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip addr add 10.200.1.2/24 dev veth0-peer

  • sudo ip link set veth0 up

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip link set veth0 up

setup routing table#

  • sudo ip netns exec firefoxns ip route add default via 10.200.1.1

setup ip forwarding & network address translation#

  • sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

  • sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.200.1.0/24 -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE

test#

  • sudo ip netns exec ping 1.1.1.1

now, run routeros & alpine inside of netns#

routeros#
