Routing rcp data to a specific network

[Joanne Keegan]

Hi Everyone,

We currently rcp logs from one site to another, and this is affecting performance for users.

How do you dictate which n/w the data is transfered on? At the moment it goes out on, say, 10.xx.1.1 (default) to 10.yy.1.1, and I want anything that goes to 10.yy.1.1 to use the 10.aa.1.1 network.

Any help will be appreciated, and I do award points.

Thanks,

Joanne

Hi,

you could add a route to net 10.yy.1.1 via 10.aa.1.1

Hi Joanne,

Add a route as suggested above

# route add net 10.yy.1.1 netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 10.aa.1.1

I have tried:

route add hostname 10.yy.1.1 1

This doesn't work - when using rcp, it comes back with "remshd: Login incorrect". The rcp worked fine before.

I tried the command with the netmask value, and this too doesn't work.

Hi Joanne,

The target system authorizes the local system to execute remote commands based on the incoming IP address of the connection.

Add the 10.aa.1.1 IP address to the root .rhosts file in the target system.

A preferred method would be to call it as follows,

System-A

hostname : hpsrv01
alias for the ethernet-1 : hpsrv01-en1
alias for the ethernet-2 : hpsrv01-en2

while doing rcp , use rcp file hpsrv01-en2:from the source node. Also add the corresponding interface's IP_ADDRESS / hostname into the .rhosts
