Guys,
There are 4 NICs in our E450 server and all of them
have different subnet configuration.
Their default gateways have the same routes to other
networks.
If I configure the /etc/defaultrouter file to have all
of the default gateways of the 4 interfaces in there
then how the system will send the packets to a
particular network?
Since all of the 4 gateways have the routes to
172.16.x.x the server will send the first request for
the destination MAC address to all of the configured
default gateways.
Than how does it decide to which interface to use if
all of the routers will respond with their physical
address?
Or should we force the packet forwarding to 172.16.x.x
via a selected interface by adding an extra route rule
manually?
Actually what is the correct configuration in this
situation?
Thanks in advance!
John
