Re: Adding Static routes in PCs to overcome connection loss, When multiple default

gateways are used in TCP/IP configuration options on a Windows NT computer.

Summary of Problem:

In Dewa Project, We are accessing multiple networks with same network card and assigning multiple
default gateways in the TCP/IP configuration of network card. When multiple default gateways are used in
TCP/IP configuration options on a Windows NT computer, connectivity to computers on remote networks
may be lost.

The issue can be overcomed by adding static routes in PCs.

As an example,we are considering DEWA control centre settings as shown in below table:

TCC -104 setting

Destination TCI Server
Gateway SCMS Gateway IP Subnet Mask TCC Router IP
IP
10.104.15.74 255.255.255.248 10.104.15.73 10.104.1.1
Gateway#1
10.104.65.74 255.255.255.248 10.104.65.73 10.104.4.1
10.104.15.75 255.255.255.248 10.104.15.73 10.104.3.1
Gateway#2
10.104.65.75 255.255.255.248 10.104.65.73 10.104.2.1

DCC -104 setting

Destination TCI Server
Gateway SCMS Gateway IP Subnet Mask TCC Router IP
IP
10.14.10.52 255.255.255.248 10.14.10.50 10.14.3.1
Gateway#1
10.14.80.52 255.255.255.248 10.14.80.49 10.14.1.2
10.14.30.52 255.255.255.248 10.14.30.49 10.14.1.1
Gateway#2
10.14.60.52 255.255.255.248 10.14.60.50 10.14.3.2

Please follow the below steps while configuring the static routes in gateway PCs.

Step-1: Clear all default gateways from the network interface card of Gateway-1
PCs as shown:

This step has to be done for all TCP/IP interface.

Step-2: Add Persistent static route as per DEWA Control Centre settings
Run CMD prompt as Administrator

Run cmd : route ADD -p (destination network) MASK (subnet mask) (defaultgateway/( Router IP in our
case)
Eg: route ADD -p 10.104.4.0 MASK 255.255.255.248 10.104.65.73 )

Similarly add persistent routes for all TCC/DCC and Local network.

Step-3:Verify the added persistent routes

Run cmd:route print

Step-4 :Verify the routing is proper

Run cmd: tracert 10.104.1.1

Verify the routing to the network is proper, as per our gateway assignment.
