I have 2 machines running centos. each machine has 2 network cards. Box 1: eth1: T1 connection 74.X.X.X eth0: office connection 192.X.X.X

Box 2: eth1: Cable modem 24.X.X.X eth0: office connection 192.X.X.X

How do I issue a route command on each box so it will use eth0 as the shortest route between the two boxes???

It seems it already is when using the 192.168 addresses, so I assume you want to route the 74.x.x.x and 24.x.x.x over this path too:

mndemo# route add -net 24.x.x.x/netmask gw 192.168.1.x dev eth0

unifiedpaging# route add -net 74.x.x.x/netmask gw 192.168.1.x dev eth0

Kind regards,

On Box1 the route is: [root@mndemo ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 74.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 74.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

One Box 2 the route is: [root@unifiedpaging ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 24.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 24.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
