Solaris

Hi Gurus;

I had 2 interface.
eth1 : 10.x.x.x
eth2 : 30.x.x.x

My default out is 10.x.x.x

Now, I need to connect to public SFTP Server
If I use sftp user@public IP.

I can not connect.
because my out is 10.x.x.x

But I telnet it:
telnet -z 30.x.x.x <public IP - sftp server>
result was successfull.

Is there a way to change it to 30.x.x.x ?

Please help.

There's something wrong with your routing table if it tries to connect to 10.x via 30.x or vice versa. There ought to be rules that catch 30.x and 10.x traffic first, before the default catch-all.

If these destinations are on the same subnet as you, there might even be something wrong with the subnet mask.

Subnets and routing are the way you control the outgoing IP, you can't force a particular one.

There might be a router in the way. 10.x.x.x is a private subnet which will NOT be routed to the internet, while 30.x.x.x is a public internet address "open" to the world. Are both NICs on the same physical wire? And what wire is the router on? Anyhow, as Corona668 point out, separate your subnets and make 30.x.x.x your default route/gateway.

You could always just add a static host route, it's a bit messy that you need to, but it requires the fewest changes to do it.
Form memory, it's something of the form:

Code:

route add host <public IP - sftp server> 30.x.x.x

The precise commandline might be a little different, it's been a while.
There's also a commandline arg in recent Solaris versions to make it permanent, otherwise just add it into your rc.d sequence.

But as said previously, if you need a static host route, it usually means you have something messed up in your overall routing or network structure.

when using sftp, scp, etc, you can pass ssh options which are not apart of this programs options with -o: sftp -o BindAddress=30.x.x.x user@host

but as the others said, why would your LAN be your default ... misconfigured, or someones idea of security?

thank for your ideas guys.
yup I think route makes sence, but it was porviden to add an outgoing to 30.x.x.x here in our company. Thanks :-D

neutronscott <-- you got it fit to my inquiry hehehe thanks man
sftp -o BindAddress=30.x.x.x user@host

Solved at last.
