# Pivoting on Metasploit
Check the IP address of the compromised machine in meterpreter
```
shell
ip addr
```
We have another network interface.
Now we can add it to meterpreter route.
```
run autoroute -s 192.6.101.2
```
Background the current meterpreter session and use the portscan tcp module of Metasploit to scan the second target machine.
Press CTRL+z and Enter y to background the meterpreter session.
```
use auxiliary/scanner/portscan/tcp
set RHOSTS 192.180.108.3
set verbose false
set ports 1-1000
exploit
```
