I am working with a company that has a rather different short-term requirement. The setup is as follows: --------------- Sun ----------- cisco ----- (world) subnet a | subnet e subnet b | subnet c | subnet d | | | slip to subnet f Subnets b-d are 'virtual' subnets, existing on the same wire as subnet a. I can route between the subnets a-d by adding the following type of lines: route add net.b.0 hostip 0 where hostip is the IP address of the host that the route is being added to. Gated is running on the Sun, and announces subnets a-d, and f to the cisco. However, I cannot route from subnets b-d to any other subnet on the other side of the Sun, or through the cisco. Any thoughts would be appreciated. /mde/

All of the hosts on subnets a-d need to know about the overlayed scheme. That is hosts on subnet b need to know that subnets a, c, and d also exist on the same ethernet cable. The command that you used on your sun router to inform it of the overlay is also necessary for those hosts on subnets b-d: route add net.a.0 hostip 0 route add net.c.0 hostip 0 route add net.d.0 hostip 0 This is necessary for a host on subnet b.
