Question : How to add route statement to 2000 Server or router?
|
|
Hi,
Recently got email from our services provider requesting some changes which I have no idea how to accomplish. Below is their brief message (addresses & names modified to preserve privacy):
---------------------------------------------------
"We will soon be adding additional servers for VENDOR AM system. To facilitate this, venues using AM system will need to accommodate new addresses on our network for AM system Traffic.
Account Manager Traffic currently originates from 24.14.29.151/152 on our network and terminates at the AM system Gateway running on the Astra servers using TCP port 5000.
VENDOR is using this upgrade as the first step in moving away from their use of the 24.0.0.0 address space for traffic between venues and the VENDOR network. The following range of public addresses assigned to VENDORr has been reserved for venue communications with servers on the VENDOR network: 204.102.221.0/24.
For continued operation, customers will need to route traffic between their AM system servers and servers in this new address range to their VENDOR router. Venues implementing access control on their networks will also need to enable the required port (see above). To facilitate eventual migration of other VENDOR services (hosts, authorization, and support) to the new address space, it is recommended that the ports associated with all documented VENDOR services be permitted as part of this upgrade."
---------------------------------------------------
So, what should I do? I'm pretty sure that in our router there are no rules because I replaced it few months ago and didn't set anything like port forwarders etc. Probably routes were added before when VENDOR set this system for us in the office, but nobody know. I ran route command and got the following:
===========================================================================
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.5 1
24.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.5 1
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.5 1
192.168.0.5 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1
192.168.0.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.5 1
192.168.94.9 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.5 1
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.5 1
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.5 192.168.0.5 1
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
===========================================================================
Persistent Routes:
Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Metric
24.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 1
192.168.94.9 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.2 1
I need exact command with all parameters I should type to add required router (I even don't know what /24 means). Does the log above show that old 24.x.x.x route is set? Should I add it on the server or better on the router? I must fix it today.
Thanks.

You are right it should be (/24)
route add -p 204.102.221.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.2
sorry for that...
