Scenario: RouteD configuration
This scenario shows how RouteD configuration entries work in a sample network.
The routers know every route within every network, including networks X, Y, Z, A, and W.
Figure 1. RouteD configuration scenario
- Case 1: If router AY has an interface of 192.10.2.1, a metric of 1, and a NOFORWARD parameter of 192.50.21.0, then none of the hosts in the networks reach network A.
- Case 2: If router WZ has an interface of 192.10.3.1, a metric of 1, and a NOFORWARD parameter of 192.10.4.0, then none of the IP packets go through router WZ to get to network W. IP packets can still reach network W because router WY provides a route to that network.
If you set the parameter option of any interface to Passive, then no routing takes place across the interface.
