netconf not working

Amiel Tutolo — Fri, 30 Apr 2004 09:22:04 GMT

Last night our machine caught on fire. Yes just a small one but the CE replaced just about every board in there. Now the netconf file that was in place doesn't work. I get a message ERROR: Failed to add route entry because its interface is not yet initialized. May need to add this route entry with a route commad after the interface is up : add net default: gateway 125.0.0.57: Network is unreachable. I am attaching my netconf file. Can anyone please tell me where I am going wrong? The people that can't connect are remote vpn users that come in on as 192.168.x.x. Thanks in advance it has been a 28 hour day so far.

I was just getting ready to go to that building and check that. Here are the outputs you asked for though. They are in one file.

Your deafult gateway as mentioned in your attachment is on a different network than your primary inetrface .

I think thats the problem there .
Your deafult gatewat should be 10.103.4.1 . But it may be different depending on your subnet mask .

I would suggest you talk to your network guys to find the correct IP/SUBNET .

In the ioscan output there are no device files for the 1000er LANs.

Try insf -e -C lan
and ioscan -fnC lan again.

Do you now have device files?

if you don't have device files after run
insf -e
I think you need to install lan card drivers.

This is working for internal users but not the vpn users. I can't think it is a driver issue if all my internal users can see the box.

Amiel,

The problem is the order of the routes in your netconf file.
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=125.0.0.57
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

You need to move this entry [0] which is the first route statement to run, so that
it comes after the others. Change all the [0] to [6] in order to do that. Then change the [6] in the below entry to [0] and you should be OK.

ROUTE_DESTINATION[6]="net 10.103.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[6]=10.103.0.1
ROUTE_COUNT[6]=1

Hope that helps,
-> Brian Hackley

Could you see if you have more than one file starting from netconf, do ll netconf* on directory /etc/rc.config.d/
System source all files under this directory while booting except some . or .bak files and it could easily confuse the server if more than one file is present.

Thanks for all the help. Someone made a change to the netconf file without me knowing about it. I changed the default route and it is now fine.
