Configuring the Gateway for the Simulator

A gateway is a device that enables data to flow between different networks. The gateway is configured using the following command on your simulator:

$ rsh simu_address route add default host_address

simu_address is the IP address of your simulator instance. host_address is the IP address of your Solaris host in the ChorusOS simulator sub-network, which is also the IP address of the Ethernet pseudo-driver.

Here is an example:

$ rsh 2.1.1.2 route add default 2.1.1.1

The route command can also be included in your sysadm.ini file, as well as executed on the local console.

Simulators can only access their supporting host through the IP address of the Ethernet pseudo-driver. They cannot access their supporting host through its standard IP address.

The mount command must be run as follows:

$ rsh simu_address mount host_address:/pathname /

Here is an example:

$ rsh 2.1.1.2 mount 2.1.1.1:/build_dir/root /

See the ChorusOS 4.0 File System Administration Guide for more information about mounting file systems through NFS.
