This is in unix environment. I have multiple routes in a host (visible with 'ip route show' command). If I am pinging an address, how can I find out which gateway was used to route the tracffic?
I tried using traceroute command, but it does not show the immediate gateway.
From below output, 10.58.227.1 is my default gateway.
# ip r l
10.58.227.0/24 dev front_eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.58.227.231
169.254.0.0/17 dev bond0 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.0.4
default via 10.58.227.1 dev front_eth1 proto gated
When I do traceroute to an external address, the gateway used (default gateway 10.58.227.1) is not shown in output.
# traceroute -n -I 10.63.21.118
traceroute to 10.63.21.118 (10.63.21.118), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 10.58.112.1 0.507 ms 1.008 ms 1.017 ms
2 10.63.21.118 0.228 ms 0.233 ms 0.234 ms
Is there any option to view the same information as given by traceroute command, including the gateway used for routing?
Random side question - If
192.168.0.1is "default route" or "gateway"... what name would be used to refer to192.168.0.121? Just "source" ? – dtmland – 2016-08-02T23:25:51.873@sarnold, please confirm whether it needs internet on that server. – kd12 – 2017-07-04T07:31:31.937
@kd12 you only need an Internet connection on that server if you wish to route packets to the Internet. You can set up IP networks without being connected to the Internet if you wish; the routing tables don't know and don't care, it all works the same. :) – sarnold – 2017-07-07T20:26:37.057
Thaks a lot. :) That solves the issue. – None – 2012-03-12T08:40:39.160
