LAN adapter problem

Luca Frigatti — Fri, 11 Oct 2002 08:35:18 GMT

Hi all!!
I've the following problem:
I change the IP address on my server HP-UX (version 11.00).
I modified the /etc/rc.configi.d/netconf file with the new ip address, the new subnet mask and the new defaul gateway of the new LAN.
When I reboot the server I have the following error message (taken from /etc/rc.log file after rebbot) :
Configure LAN interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start":
----------------------------
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 172.16.200.70: Network is unreachable
"/sbin/rc2.d/S340net start" FAILED

I try to add the rule for the defualt gateway and this command correctly works.
The command I used is the following :
route -p 1500 add default 172.16.200.70 1)
Why?
Any idea to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your support and your help.

Luca

Luca,

How is the default route command formatted within 'netconf' file?

ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=53.202.164.203
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default

This is what mine looks like. Can you check the lan card it is referring to and the [n] number of the default route?

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Post your netconf file contents.

Also the o/p of netstat -nr .

you may try
route delete 172.16.200.70

the gateway should ideally be

172.16.200.1

you may like to ping 172.16.200.1 or 70 to see if the saem is reachable then only u can add the route .

Make sure you only have one default route located in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and that it is a reachable address. Your system will try to configure the first default route within this file.
