This article applies to JetDR version 4.1.16 and below
In some scenarios, it is necessary to route DRVA management/data network over a particular gateway. The following steps describe how to change the default gateway used by a DRVA.
1. From vCenter launch the DRVA VM web console and log in to the DRVA using admin credentials.
Note:
Collect DRVA admin credentials from Jetstream support.
By default, SSH is disabled for DRVAs, by using a private key it is possible to SSH into the DRVA.
2. From the DRVA web appliance run the commands (ip route) and (ip address) to verify the default gateway and IP configuration of the DRVA.
3. Delete the default gateway by running the command:sudo ip route del default
Note: Admin password required.
4. Add a new default gateway by running the command:sudo ip route add default via <gateway_IP>
Note: Admin password required.
5. After changing the gateway of the DRVA, validate its new default gateway by running the command:ip route or ip r
Note: Since the DRVA is a stateless appliance Adding the default gateway by following the above procedure will not be persistent after a DRVA reboot.
We can use a Power shell script to add default routes on DRVA, contact JetStream support to perform this action.
- Future enhancements:
Starting from 4.1.18 onwards we have an option to add the extra routes from (JetDR UI > Appliances > settings > Add) which should be the correct way to add additional routes.
