RHEL6- (11)- ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY –P3


RHEL6-(11)-ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY                              -P3

Under Routes & Default Gateway:
ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY –P1
ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY –P2
Well, we covered a lot.
Next is to have two default routes on system.

Till we have one default gateway configured in our system and all traffic was routed with that.

Now the requirement is as follows,

192.168.234.0 – eth1 & eth2 – via 192.168.234.2
192.168.110.0 – eth0 & eth3 – via 192.168.110.1

RHEL6-(10) -ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY –P2


RHEL6-(10)-ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY                             -P2

In UNIX systems routing table consists the information about packet forwarding.


Route add
Route delete
Making route persistent
Default route configuration

[root@rhel6-server ~]# ip route show
192.168.234.0/24 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.234.146  metric 1
192.168.234.0/24 dev eth2  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.234.147  metric 1
192.168.110.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.110.137  metric 1
192.168.110.0/24 dev eth3  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.110.135  metric 1
default via 192.168.110.1 dev eth0  proto static

RHEL6- (9) -ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY – P1


RHEL6-(9)-ROUTES & DEFAULT GATEWAY                               -P1

We had already seen about Routes & Gateway before, let’s take in little brief.

Default gateway: A default gateway is a remote host or router that our Linux host forwards traffic to, when the destination IP address of outgoing traffic does not match any route in our local routing table

Static route: Static routes are for traffic that must not, or should not, go through the default gateway.

Default route: If the IP that is to be communicated, does not fall into any of the other routes than send the packets to the default route.

Network Files:

RHEL6- (8) IP ASSIGN / CHANGE


                 RHEL6- (8) IP ASSIGN/CHANGE

HOW TO ASSIGN/CHANGE THE IP ADDRESS:

[root@rhel6-server ~]# ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:80:4E:36
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe80:4e36/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:11151 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1039262 (1014.9 KiB)  TX bytes:468 (468.0 b)
