Why note this info downBecause this is done once in a blue moon and is non-obvious |
After setting up the generic standard network stuff in setup and Linuxconf - everything should be OK and ready for you to start adding IP alias addresses(Many internet HOW-To's on this subject are not applicable to Redhat 7.3 in using the route command)Ignore all the following which was based on information gained on the internet and looks incorrect - for Redhat 7.3 at least?

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/categories.html http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/Networking/docs/Using-Route vi /etc/sysconfig/static-routes and in this case, add the following telling which ethernet card to use which gateway/router:
eth1 net 193.61.32.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 193.61.32.245 eth0 net 193.61.34.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 gw 193.61.34.245 Check: /etc/sysconfig/network Reboot and if you do netstat -rn you should get something like: route
[ccp14@mill rc.d]# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 193.61.32.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 193.61.34.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.254.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 193.61.32.245 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth1
ifconfig -a should give something like the following
[root@mill root]# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:B3:63:EF:43 inet addr:193.61.35.89 Bcast:193.61.35.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2489300 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:27034 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:214548375 (204.6 Mb) TX bytes:2219890 (2.1 Mb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0x1000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:B3:63:EF:35 inet addr:193.61.32.160 Bcast:193.61.32.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:162821 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1 TX packets:48863 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:81052332 (77.2 Mb) TX bytes:2639558 (2.5 Mb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x3000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1616 (1.5 Kb) TX bytes:1616 (1.5 Kb)Test: snarf http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/farrugia/~louis/software/wingx/wgx_164.zip snarf http://www.ccp14.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/farrugia/~louis/software/wingx/wgx_164.zip
OUTPUT The output of the kernel routing table is organized in the following columns Destination The destination network or destination host. Gateway The gateway address or '*' if none set. Genmask The netmask for the destination net; '255.255.255.255' for a host destination and '0.0.0.0' for the default route. Flags Possible flags include U (route is up) H (target is a host) G (use gateway) R (reinstate route for dynamic routing) D (dynamically installed by daemon or redirect) M (modified from routing daemon or redirect) A (installed by addrconf) C (cache entry) ! (reject route) SYNOPSIS route [-CFvnee] route [-v] [-A family] add [-net|-host] target [netmask Nm] [gw Gw] [metric N] [mss M] [window W] [irtt I] [reject] [mod] [dyn] [reinstate] [[dev] If] route [-v] [-A family] del [-net|-host] target [gw Gw] [netmask Nm] [metric N] [[dev] If] route [-V] [--version] [-h] [--help] |
