adding a LAN routing statement to a G3S 1

[EddieVenus]

I would like to add a route statement to the OS of a definity G3S PBX. The way it is set up, the routing that is, points all unkown traffic to a firewall. That firewall is a PIX and cannot reroute the traffic inside the LAN.

Oh well, so I would like to add a line similar to "route add" in windows/DOS.

I am a cisco guy, I know nothing about PBX's. I don't even know what OS is running on that box. I know that most of the PBX's I have seen are running some form of Unix. The one here at my site is on a Solaris platform.

I just need to know if it is possible and if so what line do I have to add. If this is not possibe, or if it is too difficult to be worth while, then I would like to know how to set the default gateway on the definity to point to the router, rather than to the firewall. That should be possible.

I'd appreciate any help with this at all. Thank you.

It is possible to do what you're asking

heres another thing though, you could change the default route to be the router that you're wanting to use to get to different subnets.

to change the default gateway do "change ip-interface"

to add ip routes to other subnets you need to do "add ip-route #" # being a numberical number to identify it.

if you're using voip though, please note this will not work with the media processor board, it only will use the default gateway.

thank you, BuckWeet. You can put your fears to rest, it is not for VoIP. The need is just for administrative access.

There is a connection from the corporate LAN to a remote LAN, this Definity sits on the remote LAN. The remote LAN was in place long before the connection back to corportate was installed. The PC's all are static, no DHCP. The default gateway is set to a PIX firewall, which will not send traffic back out an interface it came in on. In other words it will not route.

So rather than change all the PC's to point to a router as a default gateway, the IT staff decided to take each machine and add a route statement individiually as the need arises. So far only 3 out of the 75+ machines have needed the route statement. Untill this one they have all been windows machines too.

Thank you for the help. Can you tell me what is the rest of the syntax on the "add route #" method? For example if it were "add route 7" what would follow?

also, do I need root access for this, or can it be done by anyone with a logon to the machine. is that even how this OS works? thanks for any help, as you can see I am completely blind on this topic.

you need a super-user login to add the route.

as for the command, its not like IOS or PIX OS where you do "ip route x.x.x.x x.x.x.x (gateway)" or "route x.x.x.x etc.." for pix

you probably also have to do this as well

"change node-name ip"

define your remote subnet there as like 192.168.0.0 and a name of like remotesubnet or something

define the router address as well

then do

"add ip-route 1" that'll take you to a gui

for your destination node put in the 'nodename' that you defined above. then put in your router as the gateway node


FYI, i'm winging this as I don't need to use this command much and its kinda hoaky how they do it. i'm just referring to this off the top of my head.. i'm sure you can figure it out though.
