Hello,
I'm trying to set up static routes within a subnet (for some tests). The
net-topology looks like:
HA2<------>RA<------->RB<----..
\ /
\ /
->RC<-
|
|(Interface xl2)
where RA, RB and RC are the routers. I started to define my routing
table with 'route'. On router RC this looks like:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
localhost localhost UH 0 0 lo0
RB_RC 0:50:da:47:43:67 UHLS 1 0 xl1
HA2 RB_RC UGHS 0 0 xl2
....
The queer (and wrong) think hapens when I define that the route to 'HA2'
has to use the gateway RB_RC (which is the interface of router RB to
router RC), since packets with destination HA2 are sent to interface xl2,
which points somewhere in Nirwana.
To my questions: how can I explicitely force freebsd to avoid to
assign a netinterface (Netif) to route HA2 when the gateway (with a
differen Netif) is already defined in the routing table? Or is there any
way to change the netinterface without modifying the route?
Remark: what I already tried (unsuccessfully)
on router RC:
1. route add -host HA2 RB_RC (corresponds to routing table above)
2. route add -host HA2 -iface xl1 (assigns directly a Mac-address, but
this is wrong)
Thanx a lot,
Placi
