Routing Configuration

Once your connection to Exoscale is established, you need to configure your instances. If your servers use the same router for internet access and Exoscale connectivity, you do not have to do anything. However, if you use different routers, you will need to set up a route on each server to reach your Exoscale instances. On Linux, this route configuration would look as follows:

$ ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.1

NOTE
the command above will not store the route permanently and the command is specific to your Linux distribution. Please consult your Linux distribution’s manual on how to store this route permanently.

On the Exoscale side you have two options.

One option is if you send your traffic to the internet over the public Exoscale network, you will have to set up a separate route to reach your servers:

$ ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 10.0.0.1

The other option is if you send all internet traffic over your own router, the route is already in place. No further action is necessary.
