How to configure a static route with multiple nic cards (CentOS / unix)
Hello,
I have a remote office with an Asterisks PBX server. It has two NIC cards in it. We just got a dedicated SIP Trunk that comes in on a dedicated line from our provider. I need to setup the server so that the default gateway points to our LAN so that local phones and apps can connect to the server and then I think I need to setup a static route so that all traffic too and from the SIP trunk goes out eth1.
The server runs CentOS, a flavor of unix.
Its a Trixbox/Free PBX Server.
My LAN IP and subnet is 192.168.6.X/255.255.255.0
Eth0 is 192.168.6.40, Gateway is 192.168.6.41 Subnet 255.255.255.0
Eth1 is 64.201.174.253 Subnet 255.255.255.254
My current route table looks like this:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
64.201.174.252 * 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.6.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.6.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Our SIP Proxy Server is 208.68.17.144
Im told the Gateway for the dedicated line should be 64.201.174.254
Inbound seems to work fine. Its the outbound that I am having problems with.
I think I need to have all traffice bound for 208.68.17.144 routed out Eth1
I know I need to use the route add function but I cant seem to get it right. It either doesnt work or I get a syntax error. I'm not sure why 64.201.174.252 shows up on here as the IP address on eth1 is set to .253
I know just enough about networking to be dangerous.
Thanks
Jeremy

I currently have it on eth0. Is it not true that if you have more than one gateway you have problems?
If I specify eth1 as the gateway then LAN and internet traffic will go out that nic.
maybe I am miss understanding something.
Thanks
