Configuring route from source to destination

not an expert in Solaris networking so would like to ask your opinions

Say i want to configure packet routing from source 10.126.120.130 (A) to destination 10.214.140.9 (B).

I configured it this way (shown in netstat -rn) on (B)

   Destination      Mask            Gateway                 Interface
    =======        =====             =======                 ======
   10.0.0.0         255.0.0.0         10.214.140.1
   10.214.0.0       255.255.128.0     173.20.50.65
   10.214.140.0     255.255.255.192   10.214.140.9           vmnet1

where vmnet1 has interface address 10.214.140.9. May I know if I have configured it properly? I want packets to go from (A) to (B).

It is correct, assuming 10.214.140.1 has a route to A.

hi, wouldn't 10.0.0.0 be too wide a network to go for a destination? ie, if I want to go to 10.214.140.9, the OS will use 10.0.0.0 ? – dorothy – 2014-10-09T22:59:03.277

That would depend on A network. Check the netmask and add a route to it too then. – Isaac – 2014-10-10T06:18:48.140

hi , i have updated netmask – dorothy – 2014-10-10T07:03:14.157
