Adding Route in VCS Expressway

[Vysakh Sundar]

This is regarding how to add route in VCS expressway through CLI

I tried commands starting with x but it is not taking 

command which i tried

: xCommand RouteAdd Address: "10.13.8.0" PrefixLength: 32 Gateway: "192.44.0.1"

Server is not accepting the above one

Tried this one also but the server hangs up while giving this

route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth1
route add -net 10.250.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev eth0

What version of VCS are you running?  In X8.5 that just recently released, they've added the ability to add static routes via the web interface.  See the VCS Release Note X8.5, pg 4 under "Other Changes".

Thanks to every one

We have Call manager version 9.1.2 ipaddr 10.250.105.12

IM and Presence with 9.1.1  ipaddr  10.250.105.15

VCS EXpress Way with 8.2.2  Expressway ipaddr 10.250.105.17

VCS Core with 8.2.2 ipaddr 10.250.105.27

In Express way 10.250.105.27 two lan

LAN1 with ip 10.250.105.27 and othe LAN2 with 172.168.1.51

We provided gateway add 172.168.1.1

Added the route  in expressway

route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 172.168.1.1 dev eth1
route add -net 10.250.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 10.250.105.1 dev eth0

Right now all ports are in default values 

Created Traversalsubzone

Gave same domain in VCS and presence

Internally i tried by putting manually VCS Exoressway Ip in Jabber client setting by selecting IM and presence

It is showing cannot communic\ate to server

Please help

Vysakh,

The command is probably wanting the interface to apply the route to.

For example:

xcommand routeadd "172.4.96.0" prefixlength: 24 gateway: "10.23.72.1" interface: lan2

It would be more handy if you could describe your current network setup which interfaces are used on the VCS, is the dual interface option present (is a requirement as you are trying to use two interfaces), which networks and hosts are where, ...

Also which software version you use can be helpful, as well as do a small drawing.

You listed two completely different commands, first the xcommand, which can only be used when logged in as admin via the CLI, the other which are linux-shell commands, which should not be used at all anyhow, and then how you used it (like setting a default route to the interface rather than to a gateway) looks not ok.

Please check the VCS admin guide, there you will find how to configure the basic and advanced network settings

xcommand RouteAdd

*h 'xCommand RouteAdd'
"Adds and configures a new IP route (also known as a static route)."
             Address(r): <S: 1, 39> "Specifies an IP address used in conjunction with the prefix length to determine the network to which this route applies."
             PrefixLength(r): <1..128> "Specifies the number of bits of the IP address which must match when determining the network to which this route applies. Default: 32"
             Gateway(r): <S: 1, 39> "Specifies the IP address of the gateway for this route."
             Interface: <Auto/LAN1/LAN2> "Specifies the LAN interface to use for this route. Auto: the VCS will select the most appropriate interface to use. Default: Auto"
