Same gateway, different subnets

Davor Bira? — Fri, 23 Sep 2005 07:13:55 GMT

Hello,
I have 3 lan cards on same subnet, with same gateway.
Is it possible to create static route on specific lan card, and how?

Network design must be compatible.

route add

Thats the command to add routes.

Hi Davor,

NICs on the same subnet are *not* supported.
Simply because you cannot guarantee just *which* NIC incoming traffic will arrive. Routers/switches do *not* like to see traffic come from a NIC they did not send to.
So *even* IF you define outbound traffic does not insure "proper" operation.
Bottom line, there are NO guarantees as to "proper" routing in your case - you're pretty much on your own.

My 2 cents,
Jeff
