DPOD can be configured with two network interfaces:

...

Create a New Routing Rule

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

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

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

    Code Block
    from <source ip address or subnet> table <routing table name>
    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
    from 192.168.1.120/32 table rt1
    to 192.168.1.120/32 table rt1


  3. To confirm that the new routing rules entries added use the following command to display them :

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    ip rule show
    
    The output should include the following lines:
    32764:  from all to 192.168.1.120 lookup rt1
    32765:  from 192.168.1.120 lookup rt1


...

After the new network interface is configure correctly we need configured correctly, DPOD configuration needs to change DPOD configuration to use the new interface.

Change DPOD

...

Configuration

  1. Edit the file /etc/hosts and alter the following entries to point to the new ip IP address :.
    In this example we changed For example, these are the entries to for the new ip IP address 192.168.1.178:

    Code Block
    192.168.1.178     montier-syslog
    192.168.1.178     montier-wsm


  2. Restart the application using the CLI Admin Menu.

-configure Syslog and WS-M

After DPOD was configured to use the new ip address we IP address, the monitored devices need to be re-configure the monitored devices configured to communicate with DPOD via the new address.

In order to re-configure the monitored devices, please follow the instructions on the following item  under "Adding Monitored Devices" - sub items "Setup Syslog For The for the New Monitored Device" and "WS-M setup for device"   .
