https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/force-packets-on-a-specified-segment/m-p/3035315#M133391 I have two NIC's on a hpux box,<BR />a.b.x.3<BR />a.b.y.5<BR /><BR />a.b.x.1 is the the gateway for default, now if I want ping a destination, and have ping command go through the NIC of a.b.y.5. Can I do that? and how?<BR /><BR />Thanks, Mon, 28 Jul 2003 18:34:36 GMT Hanry Zhou 2003-07-28T18:34:36Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/force-packets-on-a-specified-segment/m-p/3035315#M133391 I have two NIC's on a hpux box,<BR />a.b.x.3<BR />a.b.y.5<BR /><BR />a.b.x.1 is the the gateway for default, now if I want ping a destination, and have ping command go through the NIC of a.b.y.5.

Any connection to subnet "y" will then use NIC a.b.y.5 automatically, after first asking any adjacent router on subnet "x" if it knows where the "y" address is.<BR /><BR />However, if the "x" and "y" subnets are linked, then you're a little sunk.
