Assuming that you have another gateway for your vlan (lets say some 10 network). You would enter:

route add 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 10.1.1.1 1

Where the 10.0.0.0 is your vlan net and 10.1.1.1 is the gateway to that vlan net.

Hope this is what you were looking for,

And to add to all of the responses, to the second part of your question about a different name. That is a DNS or hosts file issue. If you are using DNS then you need to add a name to the second lan/IP card that is unique on the lan. If you are using hosts files then of course you can add the new IP address/name combination in your hosts file.

Hi,

By the way, don't forget to update your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf if you want your static routes to be permanent in future reboots.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,Anil

You can assign the IP to each of NIC's you have and can communicate thru these NIC's as Sanjay says in his post. Having 2 different names is also possible and by making entry in your DNS server you can communicate thru respective NIC. But command like swinstall, swlist... fails, since two names are pointing to the same host(physically)

Hi,
Since our server has 2 nics,thus you have to configure it as a router(gateway)with each nic claiming a different network.By default lan0 nic is on your VLAN network.the other nic (say lan1) should be assigned IP adress of the other network;
-Supose the other network is 192.1.2 and you want to give lan1 a node no. say 2,on this network ,then type;
#ifconfig lan1 inet 192.1.2.2 up
#ifconfig lan1
It should be up .
-Check lan0
# ifconfig lan0
It should be up too.
-Now add the routing info. to operating sys.:
# route add net 192.1.2 192.1.2.2 0
-Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconfig file and look for the lines;
ROUTE_DESTINATIN="net 192.1.2"
ROUTE_GATEWAY=192.1.2.2
ROUTE_COUNT=0
_ For naming purpose,edit /etc/hosts and give the new ip a name.

Hi Anil,
ofcoure you have to reboot after configuring the router.
For all nodes on the second netwowk(192.1.2),you have to do two thinks on each node;
1. edit /etc/hosts and add ;
192.1.2.2
192.1.1.1
2.run the route command;
#route add default 192.1.2.2 1
then edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconfig file accordingly.
I hope this will help.
