All of the documentation I've seen for W2K (resource kit, help files, KB's, etc.) suggest that if you have the option, you should place all your routes in RRAS. None of them ever stated that you should install RRAS just to use it for static routes, just that if it is installed, then any routing maintenance you perform should be in RRAS, as opposed to the "route" command.

I can create the classless route as described in the article, and everything works fine. My ISA box is a VPN server as well, so RRAS is installed. A "route print" shows the classless route added via the "route -p add blah blah blah" under its "persistent" routes. However, when I go to RRAS admin, it is not under "static" routes. When I look at the routing table via RRAS, it shows the aforementioned route under "Network Management" as the protocol. RRAS allows me to create what it calls a "static" route (in addition to the one added via "route -p add"), in which case it then shows up as a "static" route, and in the routing table, it then lists both: the "route -p add" as "Network Management" and the RRAS "static" route as "Internal LAN". Further, a subsequent "route print" still shows the original "route - -p add" route in "persistent" and the one added via RRAS it up in the "Active Routes" section. So, after all of that, my Q is, what is the difference? Should it be in both places? What is the significance of what RRAS sees as a "static" route if if works as a "persistent" route? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.1 iQA/AwUBPAe/7IhsmyD15h5gEQL2HgCglrXyyBUIet1N4TTPWZZ1r2SX+sYAoO32 mr84T5EpH+r/gSLaZkIvS7Qd =BDdE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
