I would like to attach (route) EC2 Linux-based instance to a Cisco Router XRv9000v IOS XR 6.3.1 in order to send traffic.
In the picture above, the EC2 sends traffic to R1 either outside or within VPC.

My initial thought was to use a route table, but I tried it and it didn't work. I wonder if it has to be done at the operating system level? You could look at the documentation or automation for the Cisco CSR1000v, which is fairly extensive. – Tim Apr 02 '19 at 16:26

@Tim yes, my thought too. I'm using XRv9000. I don't know how to do it. – Khalil Mebarkia Apr 03 '19 at 08:52

Your router has to have an interface in the same subnet as your EC2 instance. The interface becomes the default gateway for the instance.

I have already created an instance EC2 in the same subnet as the router. The question is how to make that interface, a default gateway for the instance. – Khalil Mebarkia Apr 03 '19 at 09:52

That is configured in the OS of the instance, just like any other computer. – Ron Trunk Apr 03 '19 at 10:47

all I need is to create a VM instance in the same subnet as the router is, right? there is no added configuration needed ? – Khalil Mebarkia Apr 03 '19 at 11:03

You need to set the default gateway on the instance to the IP address of the router interface. – Ron Trunk Apr 03 '19 at 12:57

What is the OS of the EC2 instance? For Linux: "sudo route add default gw
" For windows, use the network configuration gui. – Ron Trunk Apr 03 '19 at 13:36 -
