Hi,

Here you go:

start SAM
#sam
Select Networking and Communications
Select routes
Choose action from menu.

But I think it is easier to add routing using commands:

Use the route command to set the route and then manually edit /etc/rc.config.d/netcconf
to make it permanent.

For more info refer to man route

Regds..

Hi Suhaimi,

you can add using command line.
route add net networkip netmask gatway
== ====================================
you can make the entry in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf for route entry
===========================================
Then you can check the roting table using
#netstat -rn

Thanks Guys

Deepak, if i want to use command line do i need to issue the route add command first and edit the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf or i just edit the config file without do the route add command.

Thanks again

Hi Suhaimi,

Why we are editing netconf bcoz for making the permanent change.if u add using command line and some day u rebooted the system then change will not effective.So can use the command line also make the entry in netconf.

Hi suhaimi,

First u make it using command line
#route add net
then edit netconf
========================================
if ur adding directly in netconf it will not effective until ur server will reboot or
making it effective u should stop/start the service.its given below
#/sbin/init.d/net stop
#/sbin/init.d/net start
but the problem is that u cant do it on production system bcos u r stoping the net service for a moment.
=========================================
So best way is add first using command line it will be effective till ur server will not reboot.when ur server will reboot then you have already make a change in netconf so it will take care and the change will be effective.
Hope this explanation clear ur doubts

Best Luck
Prashant
