Hello.
I need help in configuring routing between NetApp and a pair of two Dell PowerEdge 1950
both are running VmWare ESX 3.5.
My NetApp is a cluster pair of FAS 3020c both running DOT 7.3.2.
So i want to unload cisco 2960G switch by directly attaching esx servers to netapp filers.
Currently i have following setup:
fas1> ifconfig e0b
e0b: flags=0x2d48867<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 192.168.1.15
ether 00:a0:98:09:8d:f7 (auto-1000t-fd-up) flowcontrol full
fas1> ifconfig e0d
e0d: flags=0x2d48867<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.12 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 192.168.1.15
ether 00:a0:98:09:8d:f5 (auto-1000t-fd-up) flowcontrol full
fas1> route -s

172.20.21.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHL 0 702 vif0
192.168.1/28 link#4 UC 0 0 e0b
192.168.1.2 192.168.1.12 UGHS 0 279 e0b
192.168.1.11 0:a0:98:9:8d:f7 UHL 0 21 lo
192.168.1.12 0:a0:98:9:8d:f5 UHL 1 1 lo
192.168.1.15 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHL 0 100 e0b
So my problem is that when i try to add route in fas1 i do not know how to specify an NIC
where traffic should flow. I have esx1 (192.168.1.1/28) sitting behind e0b (192.168.1.2/28)
and esx1 behind e0d. How can i specify interface in route command ? If i just add route via
route add 192.168.1.2. It appears that traffic to esx2 flows through e0b NIC, but i want it to
flow through e0d.
I've attached a picture of what i try to implement. Maybe i should just put second esx server
into separate C-class network?
