Thread: How to create static route?

  1. #1

    Default How to create static route?

    In the static route page, the IP address I have to enter is the DSS IP or the ESXi iSCSI IP? I tried both but DSS said it's invalid.

    btw, if I were to use a difference subnet for every interface, does this mean that I need to create 4 VLAN on my switch too? Does this also mean that I will not get to enjoy failover since I only have 1 interface at every subnet?

    I tried the instruction given in the pdf file, but I am only manage to configure 4 static routes:

    1. 192.168.102.21/255.255.255.255 on eth0
    2. 192.168.102.22/255.255.255.255 on eth1
    3. 192.168.102.31/255.255.255.255 on eth2
    4. 192.168.102.32/255.255.255.255 on eth3

    I am not able to configure 192.168.102.0/255.255.255.0 for all the ethX nor the loopback 127.0.0.0. Please advise.

    FYI, my DSS has 4 NICs with the following IPs:

    1. 192.168.102.10
    2. 192.168.102.11
    3. 192.168.102.12
    4. 192.168.102.13

    I have configure 2 NICs on each ESXi with the following IPs:

    ESXi1:
    1. 192.168.102.21
    2. 192.168.102.22

    ESXi2:
    1. 192.168.102.31
    2. 192.168.102.31

    btw, won't static route disabled MPIO round robin since it won't be able to use alternative routes if the fixed static route path is broken???

    In the multiple_IP.pdf, it suggest that we create the following static route:

    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    10.10.10.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
    10.10.10.5 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
    10.10.10.6 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
    10.10.10.7 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth2
    10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
    10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
    10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
    127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
    0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

    However, Open-E DSS prompts: Error, Following route is invalid....

    Thus, I only manage to setup the first 4:
    10.10.10.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
    10.10.10.5 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
    10.10.10.6 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
    10.10.10.7 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth2

    And you can find step by step for how to setup a failover, a MPIO , and to use Open-E with ESX.

    After setting up static route, DSS is no longer able to access internet for updates.
    When I attempt to add gateway as instructed by multiple_ip.pdf, DSS said it's invalid.
