DPOD can be configure with two network interface :

...

  1. Edit the file /etc/iproute2/rt_tables and add new routing table entry with id "1" named "rt1"



  2. In order to add new routing entry to the new routing table use the "ip route" command.
    This command will add new temporary entry to the routing table.

  3. Add a default gateway entry (should be executed only once)

    Code Block
    ip route add default via <interface default gateway> dev <interface name> table <routing table name>


    Example : For adding the default gateway 192.168.1.1 to interface eth1


    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 table rt1


    Note

    Adding default gateway to network interface should be executed only once.



  4. Add a routing entry  (should be executed as needed for every monitored device)

    Code Block
    ip route add <destinamtion ip address or subnet> dev <interface name> table <routing table name>


    Example : For adding the route entry to subnet 192.168.1.x to interface eth1

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 table rt1


    Note

    Adding specific routing entry should be executed as needed for every monitored device



  5. In order to make these entries permanent edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface name> and add the following :

    Code Block
    default via <interface default gateway> dev <interface name> table <routing table name>
    <destinamtion ip address or subnet> dev <interface name> table <routing table name>


    For example : Create new permanent routing file for interface eth1 and add the entries used at previous examples :

    Code Block
    default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1 table rt1
    192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 table rt1


  6. To confirm that the new routing table includes the new routing entries use the following command to display the content of the table :

    Code Block
     ip route show tab <routing table name>


    For example : To display the content of table rt1

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    ip route show tab rt1
    
    The output should be :
    default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1
    192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1  scope link


Create New Routing Rule

The routing rule instruct the operating system when to use the new routing table.

  1. In order to add new routing rule entry to the new routing table use the "ip rule" command.
    This command will add new temporary rule entry .

    Code Block
    ip rule add from <source ip address or subnet> table <routing table name>
    ip rule add to <destination ip address or subnet> table <routing table name>


    For example : The routing rule for monitored device 192.168.1.120 are :

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    ip rule add from 192.168.1.120/32 table rt1
    ip rule add to 192.168.1.120/32 table rt1

    The specific IP address can be replaced with subnet if subnet rule is appropriate : 192.168.1.0/24
