Hi, I have a simple question. I asked a friend about it but he was also not clear. So, I thought of mailing the list. I have a linux box (RH 7.2) which will have 2 net cards. I have 2 types of connections to that box. One RF at eth0 and 1 ISDN at eth1. Now I told 10 people from the company to give eth1 as their default gateway and the rest as eth0. Ok, so far? Now my understanding that with the routing table below, all traffic coming to eth0 will be routed thru' RF router and all traffic coming to eth1 will be routed through ISDN router. Am I right? S, if ISDN fails only 10 people will suffer but the rest can continue using RF line. Same case with RF line, if it fails the 10 people can use ISDN without any glitch. This is no load balancing network. Just a simple routing decision. I have, route add default gw <ISDN router ip> dev eth1 route add default gw <RF router ip> dev eth0 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 125.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 125.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default 203.124.123.111 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 default 125.125.125.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 Can anyone comment whether I am right in my analysis? My friend's comments are given below, | I still say that should be necessary. I believe you need to echo 0 | at some files found by /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects. | Otherwise devices won't route through your box, they'll be | redirected straight to one of the routers (at random, as far as I | know).
