This chapter provides examples of some of the more complex NetCache routing deployments that Network Appliance has received questions about. If you are using a single NetCache appliance, or if you have a simple network, these examples might not be of interest to you.
Note
TCP/IP routing is a complex topic and beyond the scope of this chapter.
This chapter contains the following sections:
During NetCache appliance setup, you identify the default router. Subsequently, you typically do not need to add routes to the routing table because NetCache learns explicit routes through ICMP redirect messages that it receives from the default router. A NetCache appliance relies on the default route and explicit routes for routing its own packets. It does not route other packets. Details about how routing works on the NetCache appliance is discussed in the Administration Guide.
