problem in adding additional permanent routes using netconf file

[Sunil Singh_1]

Hi All,
I am trying to add two permanent additional routes in HP-UX11i other than default route.

Problem:-- when I am doing /sbin/init.d/net start .... Its adding only one additional route i.e..for network 172.16.0.0... an giving the error for 10.205.0.0.... network...
I am attaching my netconf file....

NOTE:-- but using route add net..... it is adding...

ERROR: Failed to add route entry because its interface is not yet initialized. May need to add this route entry witha route commad after the interface is up

show me u'r
lanscan, netstat -in and netstat -rvn
What do you type to add it manually?

Hi Sunil,

The error you show us tells me that you might have a card problem (however not sure), check with lanscan (as Paul said as well) and see if all your cards are up and running. If not, reset the card that gives you a problem with the lanadmin command. See if that helps.

Best regards,

Peter.

Hi

Can you give us the complete command you use when you add route manually?

Is the interface up when /sbin/init.d/net start is use?

Add keyword "net " before @ip in ROUTE_DESTINATION when your destination is a network:
ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]="net 10.205.0.0"

Hi Sunil,

From your netstat output:

10.205.46.0/255.255.255.0 10.205.46.93 U 3 lan900 1500
10.205.0.0/255.255.0.0 10.205.46.20 UG 0 lan900 0

What you do with the last line you "overrule" the first line (if HP-UX at least accepts it). The 10.205.46.0 C class network is within the 10.205.0.0 B class network, that might be an issue, so it might has to do something regarding this.

If the 10.205.46.20 is a router/gateway that nows the 10.205.46.0 (sub?)network as well, then better delete the 10.205.46.0 line from your routing table.


Best regards,

Peter.

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net 172.16.0.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]=255.255.0.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]=10.205.46.230
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""


ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]="net 10.205.0.0"
ROUTE_MASK[2]=255.255.0.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[2]=10.205.46.20
ROUTE_COUNT[2]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[2]=""

and try to unplumb the devices and plumb them again..

the bad part is that to unplumb the lan900:1 u also have to unplumb the lan900

ifconfig lan900:1 unplumb
ifconfig lan900 unplumb
ifoconfig lan900 plumb

give it a try

Hi Peter,
10.205.46.93 comes under 10.205.x.x its default gateway is 172.168.10.1,
But I am having 10.205.40.x, 10.205.41.x etc network... how to use thos network....

[Paul Torp]

hmm looking at the table.. Peter is right..

adding a B class net 10.205.x.x

WITH an existing C class net will be the issue here.

[Paul Torp]

change the default to that 10.205.46.20

and add 172.168.10.1 to the network u are connecting from (if its not too many corrections you have to make)

just a suggestion..
