Add static route on DataDomain

Adding a Static Net or Host Route

PURPOSE

A static route allows the administrator to specify the network interface (NIC) through which network traffic will be directed to a target. This allows the administrator to balance network load across the available NICs

APPLIES TO

• All Data Domain systems
• All Software Releases
• Replication

SOLUTION

At the Data Domain system command prompt type:

Adding a route for specifc network to go through a specific interface on DD

# route add -net netmask <> gw eth#

Example:

# route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.2 eth0b

Note: It will add a network route for the 192.168.1.0 network using gateway 192.16.1.2 via eth0b interface on DDR

Adding a route for a specific host on DD

route add -host gw [interface]

Example:

# route add -host 192.168.6.48 gw 10.10.10.1 eth1

Note: It adds route for a host 192.168.6.48 on the interface eth1 of Data Domain system.
