Two gateway addresses on the same system

[Nsikan_2]

Hello,
Could it be possible to have two gateway addresses on the same HPUX system working simultanously?

Your response please.

yes sure for different subnets!!!

you can add the other route using the route add command.. and to have the route permanent after the reboot, put entries in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

with best wishes

Hi,

It's possible.

Yes that is possible and as explained by Naveej. And now your HPUX server is router.

If you mean two "default" gateways then while you can issue multile route commands (or have multiple entries in the netconf file, only one "default" route will be used. The others would be "standby" I suppose.

If you are looking to have "per-interface" default routes, you can mostly get that if you set ip_strong_es_model to one - especially if you use your own local IP's as the gateway addresses (assumes the other routers on the link support Proxy ARP).
