Note:When you add a network interface, a default route (via the default gateway) is automatically
created for the interface after network settings are applied and the DXi reboots. For example, if you add
an interface with IP address 10.20.185.172, a route with the destination IP address 10.20.185.0 is
automatically added. If you delete the default route, it is automatically added again the next time
network settings are applied and the DXi reboots. For more information about interface routing, see
Network on page 305.
ConfiguringInterfaceRouting
Some network configurations require that you specify routing details for an interface. You need to specify
routing details if the host or client the interface connects to is on a different subnet that is not reachable using
the default gateway. You also need to specify routing details if you have configured multiple network
segments (replication, data, or management) on the same subnet. For more information and examples, see
Network on page 305.
Under IPAddressConfiguration>RoutingDetails, enter routing information for one or more interfaces
(see Figure 194 below):
Figure194:Network Page: Routing Details
1. In the IPAddressTable (above routing details), select an interface to add or modify routing data. (To
select an interface, click the radio button next to the interface index name, for example, bond0:2.)
After selecting an interface in the IPAddressTable, the RoutingDetails table below expands to
display available routes (if any).
Note:A maximum of 8 routes per interface are allowed.
2. If necessary, click the Show link to show the routing details table.
3. Click AddRoute to add a route to the selected interface.
Or select a route to edit its settings.
4. Enter the following network information as provided by your network administrator:
Destination The destination network for the route.
DestNetmask The network mask for the route.
DestGateway The gateway IP address used for outgoing traffic sent from the interface to a host or
client. (This is usually not the same as the default gateway.)
