How do i check to make certain my routing is correct as i understand oute not ip?
This is again a new technology transition from the traditional ‘route’ to ‘ip’ equivalent. in order to check for your routes to your various networks and ‘really important’ default route your need to do a: #ip route show This indicates what your network interfaces know to be true. For instance: aaa.bbb.ccc.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd aax.bbx.ccx.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src aax.bbx.ccx.ddx default via aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd dev eth0 The above example would indicate that aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is your default route where all packets that are unsure where else to go and you have not told where to go;-)) go to this network address to be routed further down the line. To test that they are responding simply do for example a ping 10.123.123.123 or what ever numbers are actually indicated above. If your get a reply you know that all is fine so far. Else don’t worry too much about it as yet as remember we are still setting up and most likely you have yet to even bo
