I'm trying to get my portmasters to be able to see a machine that I've
recently setup an IP alias on. The machine's "normal" IP address (eth0)
is 206.40.219.21. The alias on the machine (eth0:0) is 207.87.196.21.
Now, I can ping both of those IP's from that machine itself, and from
another host on our network (after adding the route to that network).
This is all well and good, but I can't seem to add the correct route to
my PM2E-30's :(
The IP of my test portmaster is 206.40.219.8. I believe I've tried:
add route 207.87.196.0 206.40.219.8 1
and this was the resulting route table on the pm:
Destination Gateway Flag Met Interface
--------------------- -------------------- ---- --- ---------
0.0.0.0 206.40.219.1 NS 1 ether0
207.87.196.0 206.40.219.8 NSC 1 ether0
206.40.219.0 206.40.219.8 NL 1 ether0
However, I still can't ping the machine under it's alias 207.87.196.21.
Now, obviously I'm a total retard, and I humble myself in front of you
all to get the answer and to find the hideously stupid mistake that I've
made. However, I must say that the "add route" command is pretty
sparsely documented. At any rate, can somebody help me out here?
