creative routing 101

harmt01 — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 12:58:33 GMT

I have an HP-UX server with two routes out of the building. How do I make all traffic going to site A go out router 1. And all traffic to site B go out on router 2. I have multipule NICs on the system. Not looking for most creative way I'm looking for solid solution.

Depends - can both routers go to both sites?

If yes, then you need to create static routes - stating which network you want out which route.

Yes & No, The two routers are out on a monster WAN and can get to one another in some way.

My goal is to split the traffic because I'm killing router 1 with replication traffic. Want to move all replication traffic to a backup circuit.

As mentioned, you can set a static route to the replication site to go out server B..

i.e.

route add IP_REP_SITE IP_ROUTERB 1
(update /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to make perminent)

Leave the default to ROUTERA

( this assumes that you have direct ( same subnet ) access to ROUTERB. )
