Adding a route to a non pingable router

I want to add a route to a network that is routed by a firewall. This firewall can't be ping.
My question is 'How can I add this route ?" because when I try to add the route manually
route add net 172.19.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.18.60.4 1
The reply is :
add net 172.19.0.0: gateway 255.255.0.0: Network is unreachable
With the HP-UX server, there is an option in the /dev/ip module that tells the routing to NOT ping a gateway when adding a route but this variable ip_ire_gw_probe doesn't exist on Solaris.
Is there somebody who had an idea ?
Gilles.

The following should work, just add the -netmask switch.
route add net 172.19.0.0 -netmask 255.255.0.0 172.18.60.4 1

ISCSI boot with Intel NICs added to windows 2008 r2 routing table causes non iscsi traffic to attempt default routes on iscsi networks

I have a server with Intel 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Nics. I have configured them to use iSCSI boot the primary looks to 10.0.0.1/24 and the secondary looks to 10.0.1.1/24. The target is configured correctly. Everything boots as expected.
I have added the MPIO feature and configured MPIO for the iscsi initiator as per: http://blogs.technet.com/b/migreene/archive/2009/08/29/3277914.aspx.
My issue is that the iSCSI networks show up in the routing table like so:
I did not configure a default route in the Intel setup utility:
I tried to explicitly remove the 0.0.0.0 entry and leave blank, with no change. As you can see with the above routing table traffic attempts to travel over these routes:

A ping to the outside world first attempts on 10.0.0.x/24 network, then on 10.0.1.x/24 network and then finally on the network the traffic should go over. I don't want my iSCSI traffic to ever show up with a default route. How do I get rid of it?
route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 "on-link" results in: The route deletion failed: The parameter is incorrect.
route delete 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 on-link results in: The route deletion failed: The parameter is incorrect.
route delete 0.0.0.0 deletes all default routes, then I have to add back in the "valid default route" of 192.168.100.6.
I would like to not have to do a route delete though.

So I've sort of given up on fixing the gateway assignment in the route for iSCSI boot. I configured a DHCP server to give out the information required by iSCSI boot and configured the network cards to use DHCP for their configuration. I insured
that my DHCP server gave out no default gateway entry. However, I still got the undesired routes in the routing table. This makes me assume that there isn't a "fix" for it, only the workaround.
Here is the script I run on each iSCSI Boot initiator (you would obviously change the ip number to suit your environment):

Then I added a task in “task scheduler” of "administrative tools" that ran as the user “system” “when the computer starts” that runs this script.

How do I use the new Airport Express as an extender for a non-Apple router?

We have an "Arris" router in our house and are thinking of buying an Airport Express to extend the internet. How can we use the Airport express as a repeater on a non-Apple router without having to use millions of ethernet cables?

Apple designed their "extend a wireless network" to only work with other Apple routers wirelessly, so it would be extremely unlikely like it would work with an Arris wireless router.
Your best bet is to always use products from the same manufacturer if you need this type of feature on your network to insure compatibility.
If Arris does not offer a product for this purpose, a "universal" extender like the Netgear device linked below might be able to do what you want. It was not "universal" enough to extend an Apple network when I tested a device recently.

Can I Use Airport Express for Airplay and a non-apple router with streaming capabilities on the same network?

I want to do the following things but can't find one device that fits all purpose.
Wi-Fi router that has USB port to share external hard disk wirelessly to all devices (Mac, Samsung Smart TV, PC, Ipad, Iphone) along with inbuilt torrent download capability that also has a 3.5mm jack to do airplay.
Greedy? Yes I know but why can't we have it all I ask.
Airport Express severs Wifi Router + Airplay purpose
Then there are other non-apple routers in market that satisfy my need to attach external hard disk and stream to the devices mentioned (Note: Timecapsule will not stream to my Smart TV)
So I am thinking why not connect both Airport Express and a second non-apple router and get best of both worlds.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.

Can TC extend a non-apple router via wireless?

I believe this ground has been covered by prior questions, but I just need to confirm before giving up hope.
Can the Apple TC extend a wireless network that eminantes from a non-Apple router (in my case, UBee, Time Warner Cable)?
Our cable modem enters the living room, where it is plugged via ethernet cord to the UBee router. The range just barely reaches my upstairs office. In a perfect work, I'd like to keep the TC in the upstairs office so that I can a) share our USB printer, and b) extend our network to the second floor.
Is this possible? I get the sense that it's not.
Thanks for all your help,
Mike

Not possible except with WDS.. which means far too many compromises.. wep security, G only wireless.. and a very good chance it won't work anyway.
Use EOP adapters and setup the TC as a WAP and switch.. or run ethernet .. they are the best ways.
Turn off the wireless on the cable router.. and plug an extreme or express into it.. TC can then extend wireless.
Again this is not the best solution but is the one apple's bottom line really likes.. which is why the limitation is there.

How are you trying to play them, in the iTunes store or the Music and Videos apps ? Downloaded and synced music and videos should be in the Music and Videos apps, and you can stop content that is only in the cloud from showing in them via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music and Videos 'off' (under the 'show all' heading).
If you don't have your music and films/TV shows in those two apps then you should be able to download them into those apps via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

Best non-BT Router for BT Vision Use

Just a question thats been going through my head...
Was the best Non-BT Router (Not HomeHub etc...) for giving a decent connection for BT Vision use??
Im guessing it would have to support this QOS thingy..
has anyone had any positive experiences using a Non BT Router over a longish line while not getting any BT Vision C01/V04 Errors??
JC

same as above I have used both netgear and Dlink routers with bt vision without any problems and have used a netgear router configured as an Ethernet switch (asdl and dhcp turned off ) connected to the homehub to extend the number of ports available.
i am using a white homehub at the moment simply because i want to use the hub phone

Openzone and non BT router

Having noted that a Homehub3 can be swapped for a non-BT router I am wondering what effect (if any) this may have in terms of Openzone / BTFon availability on the non-BT router (i.e. is it still available to other Openzone subscribers?). If not, then would this in turn mean that the non-BT router owner would be inhibited from using Openzone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you can use whatever router you want only the home hubs radiate the FON /OPENZONE signal but providing you have signed up to FON you can continue to use openzone /fon

Wireless non-cisco router with aironet 1242 repeater.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here. I just started learning about cisco devices. Sorry if my question seems stupid.
I have a problem. A friend gave me an AP aironet 1242 and he wants to use it as a repeater for his wireless non cisco router.
Is this possible? And if it is how can i do it with simple steps.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response Scott. I 've read this quide before i post.
The problem is that i can't connect with serial to the ap. So i can't use commands.
I can connect with ethernet and see the ap interface. When i go and make the radio0 work as a repeater it shows interface down. What i want is simple steps of how to configure it from the interface.
Sorry again.

Non-wireless router

does any know ..if Verizon offer a good non-wirelss router ...there Actiontec sucks.. i rather get a my own router to hook up to computor ..Verizon service ok but there equipment is lousy...

A non-wireless router? A few simple ways to get one. First of all, the easiest and quickest way is to disable the Wireless Radio in the ActionTec which of course will restrict you to using Ethernet until you enable the radio again. If the ActionTec is giving you other problems besides the wireless though, the Westell 6100 is really the only other thing offered by Verizon that does not have built-in Wireless capabilities. It is a wired router in itself despite only having a single Ethernet port, though you will need to purchase a switch to be able to use it as a router for more than one PC/device. The routing functions can be disabled, so to speak by simply bridging the modem to your router of choice and setting your router to use PPPoE (which is in most Verizon DSL areas, some areas are DHCP though they aren't very common). Additionally, you could see if Verizon can send you a Westell 6110 if any are around, which are pure bridge modems. Lastly, there's always the option of using your own modem and router combination.

Airport Express (802.11n) as non-NAT router?

I am considering to replace an old WLAN router by an Airport Extreme. For this, the Airport Extreme unit would need to work as a non-NAT router (my network consists of multiple independent subnets). I've looked through the (very helpful) discussions, but could not find a definitive answer to this question. So, can you tell me point-blank whether an Airport Express (802.11n) base station can be used as a *non-NAT router* (connected to subnet A via the WAN port, creating a different subnet B on the LAN ports)?

broadwater, Welcome to the discussion area!
No this can't be done. The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can be configured to create a single subnet for all clients (LAN port or wireless) but in that mode DHCP and NAT are enabled.

Which non Apple Router to extend AX?

Guys
Spent some time many months ago looking into whether an AX can extend a network via WDS from a non Apple router. Anyway looking again now and all searches are saying this can't be done.
Anyway I am positive I read there are one or two modem/routers - possibly Netgear and/or Linksys that can work with an AX to extend but can't find these threads.
Is this now impossible? (new implementation of Apple WDS?) Was it once possible? (Just to confirm I'm not going insane).
Cheers

For WDS with non-AirPort routers the following, that were gleaned from the Internet, are known to work:
o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
o BT Voyager 2091
o Netgear WGR614 v6
o Buffalo WGR-G54

TC as Extender for Non-Apple Router?

I have given up on my TC as a wifi router and will be replacing it with a Buffalo AirStation N450. I'm going to leave it connected to the network to continue to use its internal drive and I would also like to use it as an extender for the Buffalo. Does anyone know if this is possible? Has anyone used a TC or an AEBS to extend a wifi network from a non-Apple router?

LaPastenague wrote:
You cannot extend non-apple wifi.. with an Apple router. To make it clear the TC can be client of the buffalo but not repeater. That is also a poor way to do thing with repeating slowing wireless by half.
You can use EOP adapters and run the TC as a roaming wireless access point. That is relatively easy.
That answers the question. An EOP adapter was my second choice, although using the TC to extend the network is less important than keeping its internal drive on the network for Time Machine backups. I've never been satisfied with its wifi performance and I've finally gotten fed up enough with its wifi glitches to replace it.
