Second gateway

[netbone]

Hi all!

Is it possible to add a second gateway to proxmox master and slave?

I have two router inside my network.

Router 1:
192.168.1.1

Router 2:
192.168.1.254

Is there any way to use both - or if not - at least to switch router when first is down?

Think that you can just add a default route to each of them - (although I think that only round robins - not autodetects they are down...)

route add default gw X
route add default gw y

try is and take the routers out and see what happens.

did not work. Linux accepts only one gate.

seems here is windows server better than linux ...

Linux can do it - but it seems you do something wrong.

NOTE: A default gateway is a 'default' gateway.

I is nonsense trying to define 2 'defaults'. Instead you should define other routes.

This is true only if you have ONE default gateway... but if you have multiple providers it's normal to have ONE default gateway per provider...

Explicitly: for each table i have one gateway that becomes the default for the named table. When the packets come's through one priovider they should reply through the same provider.

In many words: Dietmar is right, only one default but... iproute2 "docet"

Sure, but lets go back to the original problem:

Whats the best way to setup such 'redundant' routing? Use different metrics?
