I am wanting to setup a route to use for dialup


Normally I have this

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
11.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
12.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 12.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


which is fine

Now I want to dialin to a server.

Now I have this

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
111.111.111.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
11.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
12.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 111.111.111.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

which I want to change to

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
111.111.111.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
11.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
12.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 12.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
111.111.0.0 111.111.111.1 255.255.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0



This should work, right?


How can I do it?

have you tried this:

route add -net 111.111.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 111.111.111.1 ppp0

just a guess

Note: "instead of 111.111.111.1 use the name in the /etc/hosts file for the router like cisco001-gw"

/Raz

Ok Looks like that should work

thanks
