Linux routing table help

[jonnytabpni]

Hey folks,

This question isn't really too much to do with pfsense (However I run run 2 pfsense boxes!)

I'm trying to add a route in a linux machine (which is using busybox).

i wish to add a route to a 10.87.96.0/24 network.

The hops should be as follows:

10.87.1.10 (localhost)
10.87.1.1 (default gateway which has a IPSEC tunnel)
10.87.0.1 (Other end of IPSEC tunnel)
10.87.0.29 (A router which knows how to get to my required network_
10.87.96.0/24 (My required network I wish to be able to reach)

My routing table looks like this:
Destination    Gateway        Genmask        Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.87.1.0      *              255.255.255.0  U    0      0        0 eth0
default        10.87.1.1      0.0.0.0        UG    0      0        0 eth0

However every time I try and:
route add -net 10.87.96.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.87.0.1

I get route:
SIOC[ADD|DEL]RT: Network is unreachable

Any ideas?

Thanks

The next hop needs gateway to be reachable from one of your local interfaces. You would need to configure your IPSec tunnel so that it included the network you needed to reach.
