Quick question from a routing noob:
I've just acquired 210.48.96.88/30. The two IP addresses in the block
are intended for a couple of vmware instances.
We're not using anything nice like a Cisco router, just a Linksys
stand-in for now. It has some basic static routing capabilities.
I had a short conversation with Iconz support but I'm not feeling very
confident about the result. I've been instructed (or rather I said
"this is what we came up with" and I got a vague "yes") to add the
following entry to the routing table (where 202.37.231.84 is the
existing IP that we're using as an external address):
Destination: 210.48.96.88
Subnet: 255.255.255.252
Gateway: 202.37.231.84
Interface: Local
It's the gateway bit we're unsure of - won't this cause a loop? My mate
is concerned that it's not going to work as it needs to be on the same
subnet.
Cheers
