[Xorp-users] static Route 0.0.0.0/0

[Florian Thiessenhusen]

Hi Dan,

thanks for your reply.

"I" means the client.

"Will not work" means, that when i try to ping an external IP Adress, i got the following error:

"Reply from [IP of router]: Destination unreachable."

(Client sends packet to [external IP], it shall be routed via router to the Corporate Firewall (192.168.15.11) but never arrives on it.

The Routiong table of the client has no route to the specific external IP Adress.

This tested a Xorp Config with local networks (that are directly attached to the firewall) - this works without problems.


Thanks,
Florian

1. who is I ? The client station ? The router ?

2. what mean "it will not work" exactly, in the terms like  "X sends
packet to Y, it shall be routed via Z but never arrive on it" ?

3. what's the route table entry for the outgoing packet in question ?

                                                Dan
