Add Static Routes

Depending on how each server configures routes, you might need to add static routes with commands provided by the servers.

1. On host A, add static routes to reach VLAN 40 and VLAN 20 configured on SEFOS-2.

   # route add 40.0.0.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.201
   # route add 20.0.0.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.201
   

2. On host B, add static routes to reach VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 configured on SEFOS-1.

   # route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 40.0.0.200
   # route add -net 20.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 40.0.0.200
   

3. Connect to SEFOS on SEFOS-1.

   See Connect to SEFOS.

4. Ping the SEFOS-2 VLAN 40 IP address from SEFOS-1.

   SEFOS-1# ping 40.0.0.200
   

5. Ping host B VLAN 40 IP address from SEFOS-1.

   SEFOS-1# ping 40.0.0.110
   

6. Ping host B from host A.

   # ping -s 40.0.0.110
   

7. Connect to SEFOS on SEFOS-2.

   See Connect to SEFOS.

8. Ping SEFOS-1 VLAN 10 IP address from SEFOS-2.

   SEFOS-2# ping 10.0.0.201
   

9. Ping the host A IP address from SEFOS-2.

   SEFOS-2# ping 10.0.0.169
   

10. Ping host A from host B.

    # ping 10.0.0.169
    

    To reach host A from host B, packets must be routed between VLAN 40–VLAN 20 and VLAN 20–VLAN 10. With static routes configured, you can now test the routing functions with SEFOS.
