Add Static route on ESXi 5.5!

Hello

I am trying to add a static route in the esxi using the command 'esxcli ip route ipv4 network add x.x.x.x - n x.x.x.x/xx g '. When I run this command a static route is created and applied to vmkernel port group by default vmk0. I want the static route applied to vmk3 instead of vmk0. Please me tips on how to do it.

Thank you

TA.

Hi Sai,

It's easy :-)

vmk3: 10.28.184.8

iSCSI target: 10.28.184.10

vmk3 and your iSCSI target IP address are in the same subnet, so there is no need for any gateway, by default or not, or for routing.  The IP addresses in the same subnet can speak throughout the day without leaving the subnet or involving communication via a gateway.

Yes, all vmkernel ports assumes that the default gateway of the vmkernel, but vmkernel ports other management port management is generally useless to speak in the first place outside their own subnet.

Some examples of use of vmkernel ports case how they communicate generally:

NFS - should speak only within its own subnet

iSCSI - should speak only within its own subnet

vMotion - should speak only within its own subnet

Fault tolerance - should speak only within its own subnet

vSphere replication - can talk within its own subnet, perhaps one VLAN stretched if in different sites, otherwise a static route can be configured

I missed everything vmkernel port types?  I think that all down for the most part.

  • Help! Static route between two router WRT160NL

    Hi all

    I have my internet connection to connect to my main router from Linksys WRT160NL (192.168.1.1) with 192.168.1.x.

    My 2nd Linksys router to connect to the first gateway as well.
    The 2nd router has the ip 192.168.1.100 WAN and it's a local subnet as 192.168.2.x.

    My 192.168.2.x machines can access the internet and connect to all the machines in the network 192.168.1.x.

    However, the 1.x network cannot access the machines on the network of the 2. And because of that, I can't share or print between two networks.

    I try to add static routes on my main router (192.168.1.1) with the road: 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.100

    However, the road does not work yet.

    in any case to ensure that the 1.x network able to access the network 2.x and 2.x access 1.x file and print sharing.

    Thanks for your help!

    Gateway of the router does NAT who made the side inaccessible side LAN WAN, unless you configure port forwarding automatic or similar. If she would not make your LAN 192.168.1 would be accessible from the internet. Static routing will not change that.

    You will need to disable NAT (aka switch to router mode) on the second router. You must configure a static route on the main router then. However, most likely your network 192.168.2 * will not have Internet more because the main router will NAT for 192.168.1. * and no 192.168.2. *.

    If possible set up the second router as access point only and run a LAN.

  • Add a static route to a RV042

    I have configured the RV042 dual WAN port for backup smart link connected to two different ISPS.  The subnet behind this is 192.168.2.xxx.  I have a second router linksys Garland with the 192.168.2.250 WAN port and subnet behind it is 192.168.20.xxx.  My problem is that I have a not able to route traffic fron 192.168.2.xxx to 192.168.20.xxx.  How can I add a static route so that clients on 192.168.2.xxx can access resources on 192.168.20.xxx?

    1. the second Linksys router must be changed of gateway (active NAT) in router mode (NAT disabled) mode. With NAT the LAN behind the second Linksys will be not accessible from the outside unless you configure port forwarding.

    2. on the RV042 set up a static route for the subnet 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0 to the gateway IP address 1921.68.2.250 on the LAN interface.

    3. Ideally, you must configure the same static route on all clients connected to the RV042. If you don't want to do this, you must configure the firewall on all clients on the RV042 accept ICMP redirect messages. This is important because otherwise all traffic from 192.168.2. * to * 192.168.20 would be sent to the RV042 and from there to the second Linksys that is unnecessary and could create a bottleneck.

  • static routing in SMV problem

    This problem may seem out of place in this forum, but I think that the problem is specific to XP virtual machines in ESX. The same issue has not been seen in a similar setup running under XP hosted in ESXi.

    I invited XP with multiple network cards configured. A NETWORK adapter is connected to a 10.4.0.0 network with a 255.254.0.0 mask, which means it's supposed to handle all the traffic 10.4.X.X and 10.5.X.X. However, I have another NIC that is connected to 10.5.217.0 with a 255.255.255.0 network mask. XP runs without problem. I can access 10.5.217.X traffic to the correct interface and all traffic on the 10.4.X.X traffic and 10.5.X.X on the appropriate interface.

    The problem appears when I try to access another network on the 10.5.217.X interface. The other network is 10.5.195.0. I add a static route to 10.5.195.0 to use the address of a default gateway of 10.5.217.1. This does not work because XP has chosen to use the 10.4.0.0 interface, even if I ping the 10.5.217.1 router directly. I try again and this time I specify the interface 10.5.217.X and now I can access the 10.5.195.0 network through the appropriate interface. This will work until the XP guest is restarted. After that, the XP customer returns to use interface 10.4.X.X for the 10.5.195.0 network and who doesn't.

    In ESXi, a reboot of the XP client did not cause the routing back to another interface, while I see this behavior in ESX.

    First of all, it's a bad network with overlap configuration.

    Put good metric for this route, so it would come first in the routing table.

  • Static routing LRT214 does not

    Hello

    I have a hard time with a static routing on LRT214.

    My configuration:

    * LRT214 (recently purchased), acting as a gateway to the internet, local subnet is 192.168.28.0/24

    * There is a local VPN (192.168.28.98) server on the local network, serving a LAN tunnel with subnet 192.168.29.0/24. on LRT214 port forwarding is configured

    I can connect to my VPN server on the internet, and I can access the machine running on the VPN server (for example via ssh).

    However, I can not connect to any other computer on my LAN, although I tried

    adding another subnet under Configuration > network > LAN settings

    * setting up a static route under Setup > Advanced Routing (kind of route add - net 192.168.29.0/24 gw 192.168.28.98)

    of course, when I add the itinerary of statitc over any computer on the local network, I can connect via VPN tunnel to the machine, so its clearly a problem of LRT214.

    Please help, how can I configure a static route for this scenario in the user Web interface?

    The SPI Firewall, intercept traffic.

    As far as I understand, it could be that when the VPN server sends data to another machine on the local network, this happens on layer 2 (where the SPI Firewall not listening), while the return on the VPN server traffic is routed higher up in the stack, where the SPI listening and intercept.

    So, I will use the above workarounds, or put the OpenVPN server on a different subnet or VLAN, which I do anyway. I tried a basic configuration of VLAN yesterday (just put the Server full VPN with all interfaces in one VLAN separated), with InterVLAN routing enabled, but there seems to be some particularities with it (like the ping works, but not ssh). In any case, it's another story. Thanks for you support.

  • Static routing question

    I just took a WRT610N and configure a few static routes for my network.

    I have the router connected to a cable modem WAN and the interface of local network connected to my LAN via 192.168.0.1.

    I have three other LAN subnets in a test environment, they are:-

    172.16.0.0/24

    172.16.100.0/24

    172.16.200.0/24

    I tried to add the following to the first subnet:

    Destination = 172.16.0.0 LAN IP address

    Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

    Gateway = 172.16.0.1

    Interface = LAN

    No matter what I try, I get a message saying route static invalid, and I can't get anything to stick.  Everyone can't see what I'm doing wrong?

    Thank you guys!

    Gary

    The IP address of the gateway in a static route is the IP address of the connected device directly on each side of the router, either on the ethernet LAN or WAN side.

    In particular you cannot route a subnet of an IP address of the gateway inside the target IP subnet. The static route example you deposited directions where to send traffic destined to 172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0. It is impossible to set the address of the gateway as 172.16.0.1 because the router doesn't know where to send the traffic to 172.16.0.1.

    In other words, the IP address of the gateway must in most cases be a 192.168.0. * IP address that you use these IP addresses in the local network of the WRT. The IP address of the gateway should be the IP address of the router on the subnet specific target within your local network.

    For example, if your second router with address 172.16.0.1/255.255.255.0 IP LAN has an IP 192.168.0.2, then the 192.168.0.2 is the IP address of the gateway for the static route to 172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0.

  • Remove the static route by default

    Hello

    I have a switch L3 which has a static default route pointing to a FW that is connected to a circuit of the Internet. The same L3 switch made EIGRP routers on our MPLS network. If this default static route disappears EIGRP will inject a default route, and users will receive their Internet traffic through the MPLS cloud as a backup.

    My question is how to remove this static road by default with a mechanism that is unique on the Internet circuit. I can't count on line protocol because it almost never goes down. I can't rely on Internet ping IP SLA addresses because if they descended through the Internet channel available on the circuits quickly and create a loop of the SLA of intellectual property.

    I wish I could do BGP with the Internet provider but this circuit is in a country where it would be difficult.

    Any ideas on how to remove this default static route based on something that is unique to this tour of the Internet.

    Thank you

    P.

    "I can't rely on Internet addresses ping IP SLA because if they descended through the Internet channel available on the circuits quickly and create a loop IP SLA."

    To remedy this situation, you must add a route with the 'permanent' switch at the end of any IP you track on your IPSLA... In this way, if this interface is down, your ping IPSLA would stop and IPSLA would be the move and change your default route.

    Example:

    Route IP 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 2.2.2.2 Permanent

    where 1.1.1.1 is the IP address, you are followed and 2.2.2.2 is your 'usual' default gateway

  • RV082 static routing

    I have a router RV082, and I added a route static (on the advanced routing section), but the screen "routing table" doesn't show the road, so obviously static routing does not work on the computers in my network. I tried to disable the DHCP server did not work. Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    PD. I enclose the screens.

    If the static route will not save in the routing table, it is possible, you have a defective unit.  If you add to the list and save it on the bottom of the screen and it will not be displayed on the routing table, then you need call the HWC to 1866-606-1866 and let them take a look at the router.

    John,

    There is no way to set a static route in the GBA unit. The only network settings, you can set are the ip address/subnet, default gateway and dns servers.

  • Next hop for the static route on the VPN site to site ASA?

    Hi all

    I would be grateful if someone could help me with my problem ASA/misunderstanding. I have a VPN site-to site on a SAA. I want to add a floating static route to point to the VPN on the ASA. Note that the traffic in this way is not with in subnets cryptographic ACL that is used to bring up the VPN. This VPN is used only as a backup.

    The static route with the next hop add local public address or the remote public address of the VPN? The next break maybe local ASA isp internet facing interface? I intend to do on the ASDM. I'm sorry if it's a simple question but I found no material that explains this?

    Concerning

    Ahh, ok, makes sense.

    The next hop should be the next jump to the interface that ends the VPN connection, essentially the same as your Internet connection / outside the next hop interface.

    Example of topology:

    Site B (outside interface - 1.1.1.1) - (next hop: 1.1.1.2) Internet

    The static route must tell:

    outdoor 10.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.2 200

    I hope this helps.

  • AnyConnect customers not to follow the internal static routes on ASA5505
