Hi everybody,
There is one topic I can't find any meaningful info on and it's ROUTING. On the net there are multiple articles explaining routing of packets and network infrastructure. I need some good info with examples about some scenarios and what to do and why?
Example1/
ROUTER1 (fo\0=192.168.11.11)ROUTER2
SRV1
Server SRV1 uses ROUTER1 to connect to the internet. Then you add ROUTER2 as a fail-over and need to used it if ROUTER1 is unavailable. Question: I need to use netsh add route/ or routes that SRV1 can use Router2 interface to provide internet access. How to do it and why? Do I need to add just a gateway or full route? Please explain.
Example2/
This time you add another server eg. SRV2 and need to add static route/routes. Again I need to use netsh add route but the question is : is this just one route or min. 2 routes and why? I wonder if this kind of info is available in some CCNA notes???
Example3/
netsh interface ipv4 add route 10.2.0.0/16 "Internet" 10.0.0.1 metric=50
vs
netsh interface ipv4 add route 10.2.0.0/16 "Internet" 10.0.0.1 metric=10
What is this metric thing all about? There are numerous articles on this but they use unintelligible language and don't explain what exactly it is or does. Metric=10 vs Metric=50 - how to read it? Which is better?
Thanks for any clues, article links, CCNA materials or whatever.
P.S Please don't describe to me what routing does, packet travel or architecture, just need straightforward answers on aforementioned topics!
