On a 2500 series router can traffic from a subnet be redirected to another gateway or another box. In linux, traffic from one subnet can be redirected to another address or gateway besides the one bounding for the internet. I there such abilities in the Cisco router.

Thanks

I am not sure exactly what you want to accomplish but if you want IP traffic from one subnet go to another subnet even though you have a default gateway you can either run a routing protocol or implement a static route.

I think he might be looking for something like policy routing to enable a particular class of traffic (can be distinguished based on source ip subnet or other parameters) to be redirected to a gateway that is not the default gateway in use on the particular router.

If this is what you are looking for then yes this can be achieved using policy routing provided the next hop is reachable via a directly connected interface. You define a route-map to basically identify what traffic to redirect and where to redirect it to. This route-map is then applied inbound to an interface and functions for only inbound traffic. Take a look at the following link for additional information on policy routing:

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking at doing. Thanks a lot for the help.
