Sky Link Input

Description
From Node field Specifies the node from which you want to link to a private network.
Allow IP Range field Specifies the IP range that will be allowed in the link. Possible inputs are as follows:
  • 10.2.0.101,10.2.0.102,10.2.0.103
    Comma-separated list of single IP addresses
  • 10.2.0.0/16,10.3.0.0/16,10.4.0.0/16
    Comma-separated list of masked IP ranges
To Node field Specifies the node to which you want to link a private network.
Create Link button Creates a Sky Router link between two {ANYNODE}s, allowing the specified IP range.

Sky Link Routes
While there are numerous possibilities, the two most commonly used Sky Link route models are illustrated below:

Sequential Route (One Way)
This route directs traffic in one direction over one or multiple nodes. The sequential setup is primarily used for private edge and/or hybrid environments.

For example, let's assume we have three nodes: The routing would be: As a result, Node1 can access 10.1.0.0, 10.2.0.0, and 10.3.0.0; Node2 can access 10.2.0.0 and 10.3.0.0; and Node3 can only access 10.3.0.0.

Sky Link - Sequential Route
Circular Route (Round Trip)
This route connects each node visible to each other. The circular setup is primarily used in distributed computing environments.

For example, let's assume we have three nodes: The routing would be: As a result, each node can access 10.1.0.0, 10.2.0.0, and 10.3.0.0.
