static route question

[dandan123]

All our servers have two network cards, one - production and the other - backup (used to back up the server).

hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 11.184.201.86 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 11.184.201.255
ether 8:0:20:f0:1f:61
qfe0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.211.86 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255
ether 8:0:20:f0:1f:61

The 192.168.0.0 is the backup segment.

I'm unable to ping 192.168.1.1 (the gateway for the backup segment)

Here's the routing table -

Routing Table:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
11.184.201.0 patrol U 3 18683 hme0
192.168.0.0 192.168.1.1 UG 0 14
192.168.0.0 patrol-bkup U 2 14 qfe0
224.0.0.0 patrol U 3 0 hme0
default 11.184.201.1 UG 0 832174
localhost localhost UH 0 179164 lo0


What could be the problem ?

try ping -i 192.168.211.86 192.168.1.1.

also do man ping and look at the -i option.

Thanks

Can you post a traceroute.

I was wondering how you made out on this issue. I am interested in your resolution as my networking skills are just one of the topics I wish I was more knowledgeable about.

Thanks

Sorry for not replying earlier, it turned out to be a problem outside the box and so it was handled by one of our networking guys, cable ,switch or whatever.
