Persistent Static Routes

I have three Macs that need to have persistent static routes set up. I installed RouteSplit for this purpose and it seems to work well. After reboot, I can ping a host machine on the static route. But if I try to mount an SMB share over that route, it fails and I find that I can't even ping the host address anymore. If I reboot, I am back to having connectivity again, but attempting to mount the SMB share breaks it again. Is there something in the SMB.conf file that is breaking my static route?
By the way, even after it has been broken, I can do a netstat -rn and it shows the static route in the routing table. I am lost.

I can ping a host machine on the static route
By name, or by address?
But if I try to mount an SMB share over that route, it fails and I find that I can't even ping the host address anymore
By name, or by address?
You don't state how you're testing your ping, either before or after the attempt to mount the server.
There is a 100% disconnect between SMB and your routing table - it shouldn't be possible for SMB to affect that, nor should SMB care how to get to the specified host. Therefore I'm thinking the problem lies somewhere in between, possibly in the name resolution part of the process, hence my questions.

Persistent static routes on OS Yosemite

Hi there ,
I have 2 Macs ( MacBook Pro 15 inch, Retina - Yosemite OS ) in a big network
These MACs have installed Outlook. Our Exchange Server is completely in another network as the MACs .
Now I have added a route yesterday.
sudo route add -n xx.xx.xx.xx / 16 gw xx.xx.xx.xx
After a restart , these routes are unfortunately gone and the Outlook can not connect to the server again .
I have found that the MAC can not save static routes via terminal. Just as in Windows via route add -p
Unfortunately, I am not a professional in this area , but then i tried it this way:
sudo vi /etc/rc.local
route add -net 192.168.192.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.1.106.209
then with esc out and then with : w! stored
After a restart , these routes are unfortunately gone (according to the route table )
Have you any tips?
P.S sorry for my bad english

For example, here's a launch daemon plist file = "com.your_username.routes.plist"
which is placed in /Library/LaunchDaemons so that launchd runs it once at boot.

You can place the shell script file in your Documents folder with name = "add_routes".
This shell script contains the commands to actually add the routes.
Each time your machine is booted, launchd will execute the plist file.

I am not good at mac os code. so i have some questions about route grammar.
eg:
I need add a static route for a IP,
just like:sudo route -nv add -net 10.0.0.0 192.168.42.254
i input it in termina,then it worked. But when i restart mac. the route did not exist.

Persistent IP Routes in Mac OS X Tiger

Hello
I have a mac book Pro 10.4.8. I try to add static Routes, i was following this post

My problem is when after the reboot the rootes was deleted. I must launch directly the script on the Terminal
sudo SystemStarter start PersistentRoutes
Can you help Me ?

Default static route and Null 0

Hi Everyone,
Need to clear some doubts for below setup
Switch 3550A is connected to Internet Router and has OSPF nei relationship with it.

All is working fine.
For testing purposes i config below static route on 3550A
ip default-network 192.168.1.0
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 Null0
After above change

Now i can not ping to internet as below
3550A#ping 4.2.2.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 4.2.2.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

When we ping from Switch then source IP is always the Outside interface IP right?
So in this case Switch is using which IP as source?
Ping to internet is not working as default network is set to 192.168.1.0 and all request goes to this IP and then it goes to
Null interface right?
Extended ping works fine as below
3550A#ping
Protocol [ip]:
Target IP address: 4.2.2.2
Repeat count [5]:
Datagram size [100]:
Timeout in seconds [2]:

Sweep range of sizes [n]:
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 4.2.2.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 192.168.5.2
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 76/79/80 ms
Second thing to confirm is this ping works because 192.168.5.2 is directly connected to Internet Router interface?

Hi Mahesh,
When we ping from Switch then source IP is always the Outside interface IP right?
That is correct. By default it is always the outgoing interface on the device unless you specify it differently.
Ping to internet is not working as default network is set to 192.168.1.0 and all request goes to this IP and then it goes to
Null interface right?
That is correct. Null0 can't be used as next-hop.
Second thing to confirm is this ping works because 192.168.5.2 is directly connected to Internet Router interface?
No, that is because 192.168.5.0/30 is NATed. Remember 192.168.x.x address is a private segment and cannot access the Internet unless NAT is used.

Advertise implicit-null label for static routes

Hi, I want to ask if there is any way to change the label or stop adveritise label for an static route. Normally LDP advertises an Implicit Null label for directly connected routes. We want to do similar thing for static routes.
We need to do this is because somehow we need to do rate-limit on the PE interface connecting to the core network instead of the interface connecting to CE. As the incoming packets still got labelled, the rate-limit is skipped. So we want to stop the PE creates label for the static routes or advertises them with implicit null label. Thanks in advance.

Calvin,
Bear in mind that if you only enter the "no mpls ldp advertise-label" command, LDP will stop propagating all labels, which might not ba what you want. If you selectively want to propagate certain labels, then you need to also use "mpls advertise label for " as Shivlu suggested.
Regards,

Check for Null in Mediator Static Routing filter

Using Expression Builder for Mediator component how can I check the values for NULL in a particular XML element. In my case the XSD is
<xs:complexType name="OdsCadDataSet">
<xs:choice>
<xs:element name="odsCadCase" type="OdsCadCase" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="odsCadEvent" type="OdsCadEvent" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="odsCadUnitStatus" type="OdsCadUnitStatus"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
I want to check in expression builder of mediator whether odsCase, odsCadEvent, odsCadUnitStatus is been processed. I have three static routing for each element and plan to put filter which checks is odsCadCase is null and so forth. How to have this use case.
Thanks

Problems setting up static routing

HI
I'm having a problem setting up static routing. I keep getting the message "invalid static route". I have an E1550 router and my frimware is up to date. I have tried a few different gateway addresses ie 192.168.1.1, 127.0.0.1 and my router's address on the net, but I keep getting the same message. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

I think the E1550 router supports LAN to LAN routing provided that you have two local networks. If you only have a plain modem and the E1550, I believe you can't do Static routing on that type of setup. Found this link that might help: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=12a84336a124498eb5d6f0204b85191e_17589.xml&pid=80&...

Is there a way to add a static route in an Ipod touch ?

I am trying to get the ipod touch to configure correctly for our wireless network.
The wireless side does not provide DNS or DHCP directly . Rather this is done from a different
subnet . This assists to a small extent with our wirless security in that the attacker must also know
routing address and DNS and DHCP addresses to steal web access. In windows or Linux this can be done
by route add (DHCP IP Address) netmask 255.255.255.255 (gateway IP address)
and route add (DNS IP Address) netmask 255.255.255.255 (gateway IP address)
and manually specifying the DNS and DHCP addresses. Even if i manually enter the
the IP address without a simple static route I will not get DNS services across the gateway.
I am no apple expert but route add has been in use since the internet was still on 2 wheels
surely this can still be done ?
Thanks in advance

Setting up static routing in sa520. Im stuck.

Hello,
I finally got my cisco router and all excited about it i tried to set it up. Everything went fine until i wanted a local machine to get its own IP adress that is reachable from the outside.
Basicly i used static IP setting in the wan/ip4v menu. This worked great and with the router assigning dhcp too all computers.
Now all the local computers has internet connection and they share one ip adress on the outside.
As for where im stuck. I have a xserve with 2 networkcards. It runs a FTP server which we use local but we also have customers needing to reach it from the outside. The local FTP works but im having difficulties assigning a outside IP too it. Our ISP has provided 5 different ipadresses.
I have tried to do this in 2 different ways where the second way is preferable.
first try:
Use the optional port as a second wan. give it the same settings as the first wan got but another ip-adress.
Then connect the xserves outside network card directly too that wan port and use dhcp. This did not work.
second try:
Assign a static routing from the wan2(optional port) too the local ipadress for the xserve.
Can someone elaborate on how this should be done?
Thank you.
Edit:
Later today i will try this firewall rule.
http://bildr.no/view/580301
Basicly i want to forward any connections from wan2 too 192.168.1.33 which is my server. Does that look correct?

Thank you for your quick reply.
Im using version 1.1.21.
Im actully quite sure that its a user problem rather then firmware error. It´s the first time i evern touch a Cisco router and i havn´t done that much networking.
I can show you how i did it on my xserve. Maybe you can elaborate on how i can do it the same way.
    redirect_port
            proto
            tcp
            targetIP
            192.168.1.50
            targetPortRange
            80
            aliasIP
            77.40.XXX.220
            aliasPortRange
            8888
Basicly it says push whatever trafic from ip 77.40.xxx.220 too 192.168.1.50 on the local network.
How can i do the same thing on my cisco router? It´s a NAT ip-forward rule.
Edit:
Screenshot shows what i have been trying.
I have chosen optional wan which is set to use another external IP adress but this does not work. It would be so much easier if i could just type in the external IP adress there and use the same gateway, dns as the main WAN.
Added config aswell.
Thank you.

How do you Redistribution EIGRP into OSPF and maintain a distance of 250 for a static route?

Ok, I have scoured the forums long enough and have to post. The design is below. I moved a firewall to our new data center, which required adding some static routes for VPN connections and broadband backups. To minimize the amount of static routes I redistribute static into EIGRP with a route-map and prefix-list.
My problem is the next part of my network. When the data leaves my 56128's it hits an edge device connecting to our dark fiber. On this edge device I am running OSPF onto the dark fiber, then redistribute some EIGRP subnets into OSPF and again all is well.
Everything works up until the point the redistributed routes hit my RIB at my main data center where I am running IBGP. IBPG is run between our MPLS router and core for all our remote sites. When my backup route from the 56128's hits the cores, it supersedes the BGP route because the AD route O E2 [110/20] is lower than the BGP AD B [200/0]. Given the configuration below what can be done to remedy this? Oh when I redistribute I can only change the AD for the backup routes, all other routes should stay the same.
56128's where my static routes are:
ip route 192.168.101.0/24 192.168.30.77 name firewall 250

So in the case of a /24. If it were say broken up into /25's? From our remote sites we are using aggregate-address summary-only. Not sure how I would advertise a more specific route via BGP, sorry.
I didnt have this problem until I moved my firewalls. They plugged into the cores where IBGP was running and the static never kicked in unless the bgp route disappeared. I guess I could use my static redistribution for my VPN sites and use statics across the cores for the handful of backup links I have.

Interworking on Static Routing as IGP

Was testing interworking between Vlan over ethernet and FR. As long as my LDP was on static routing, I couldnt reach end-to-end. The moment i configured OSPF as my routing protocol it came up. Can anyone let me know what the reason could be ?

Gautam,
This is actually normal behavior.
Before the label learnt via an LDP peer is coupled to a route in the FIB, the next-hop IP address of the route needs to match one of the interface IP addresses bound to the LDP peer (see below). So basically it will not work without a next IP address.
r2#sh mpls ldp nei
Peer LDP Ident: 3.3.3.3:0; Local LDP Ident 2.2.2.2:0
TCP connection: 3.3.3.3.11004 - 2.2.2.2.646
State: Oper; Msgs sent/rcvd: 27/27; Downstream
Up time: 00:15:07
LDP discovery sources:
Serial3/0, Src IP addr: 192.168.23.3
Addresses bound to peer LDP Ident:
3.3.3.3 192.168.34.3 192.168.23.3 <++++++ the route next hop has to match one of these addresses.
Hope this helps,

IP SLA, Tunnels, and static routes

Here's the scenario: 1 router will have a primary and secondary ISP connection. I set up an SLA to track connectivity on the primary connection. Here are the static routes:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Tunnel55 track 10
ip route 12.54.X.X 255.255.255.240 GigabitEthernet0/0 track 10
ip route 12.54.X.Y 255.255.255.255 X.15.115.X track 10
ip route 192.168.32.0 255.255.240.0 Tunnel55 track 10
ip route 192.168.48.0 255.255.252.0 Tunnel55 track 10
ip route 192.168.56.0 255.255.255.0 Tunnel55 track 10
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Tunnel56 254
ip route 12.54.X.X 255.255.255.240 GigabitEthernet0/1 254
ip route 12.54.X.Y 255.255.255.255 X.15.81.X 254
ip route 192.168.32.0 255.255.240.0 Tunnel56 254
ip route 192.168.48.0 255.255.252.0 Tunnel56 254
ip route 192.168.56.0 255.255.255.0 Tunnel56 254
So I shut down the port (gi0/0) belonging to the primary port. At this point, it seemed like it worked fine. The routes shifted over to the backup routes. However, when I re-enabled the port, only two of the routes switched back. The routes pointing to Tunnels stayed on the secondary tunnel. When I browsed my static routes, I saw this:
Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0
S*    0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected, Tunnel56
      12.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
S        12.x.x.16/28 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
S        12.x.y.20/32 [1/0] via x.15.115.x
S     192.168.32.0/20 is directly connected, Tunnel56
S     192.168.48.0/22 is directly connected, Tunnel56
S     192.168.56.0/24 is directly connected, Tunnel56
Is there something special I need to do for Tunnels to allow the Tunnel routes to switch back automatically?

Hello Ken,
I can see you are sending the probe packets to the same object ( using the track ID 10 )
After you bring the interface tunnel up, can you confirm if you can send traffic to that object?

Julio

In A Perfect World - Using Static Routes In RRAS 2012 To Traverse Sites

I have site-to-site VPN tunnels between my main sites
NYC <--> UK
NYC <----> SANFRAN
NYC <----> BOSTON
NYC <----> MALTA
UK <----> SANFRAN
UK <----> BOSTON
And could see ALL sites when I had my DA/RRAS server using one of the existing subnets (for example, when I used US VPN on NYC DHCP (192.168.2.x) I was able to see EVERYTHING on any site we had a site-to-site VPN with (i.e. from VPN client I could access
MALTA, UK, SANFRAN, BOSTON).
Alas I had to change that to a different subnet (192.168.145.x) and now only see the 192.168.2.x network in NYC.
Is there a way to add static routes on the NYC & UK DA/RRAS servers so this access is restored? Or would this be solved at the Layer 2/3 network level?
Michael P. O'Hara

No, you need to allow forwarding of broadcast packet, but it's really against the best-practice, as you can kill easilly your satellite link.
I agree with you for wins, as I personnaly does not use it and try to remove it when I see someone use it, but it's the only solution for what you want (network discovery over LAN). (even LLTD is not routable beyond router)
Editted: You need to see all machines, but does the enduser must see them ?

Cannot add static routes wrt350n

Router has latest firmware and was just set to default values. I cannot add a static route, says "static route invalid" no matter what address I input (keeping it simple, trying 192.168.1.XXX)
I have never had this problem with any other router and I'm thinking it's broken. Thought I'd ask here to make sure I wasn't missing a setting before I throw this thing out the window.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Nick.

Thanks for the help, it is appreciated...
I would like to use a static IP address for my LAN multimedia server, MythTV reccommends a static address for the backend server. I have also always used Static IP addresses for my LAN.
I am a little confused, and my networking is very rusty so please bear with me. Perhaps I have not provided enough information, because I do not fully understand your response. I don't understand how subnetting is relevant.
My network is a simple home network, with one router separating my LAN from the cloud. I have one LAN, no subnetting, 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0.
Every home router I have used before I have set up the LAN portion like this... And it has always worked in the past...
gateway: 192.168.1.1/24.
static routes 192.168.1.(2-5)/24 for my stationary hosts.
dhcp range 192.168.1.(10-15)/24 for laptops and guests.
In response:
1) Yes it is LAN traffic, but the hosts still need addresses, right? Not sure what you're getting at here.
2) Not sure what you mean... example host 192.168.1.20/24, and the router 192.168.1.1/24are both within the 192.168.1.0/24 network, right? So requests from the cloud are broadcast to all in my LAN, right? How is this relevant?
3) I thought the gateway (on my only router) has to be part of the LAN addressing. By Linksys/Cisco default, the router LAN side gateway is 192.168.1.1/24 and it sends out dhcp addresses to 192.168.1.(100-149)/24.
Am I severly confused or are we just on the wrong page?
