How to save persistent routes in HP-UX

[Damchey Lhendup_1]

Can anyone please tell me how to make my routes persistent, so that I don't lose it when I restart my server.

Can it be done via SAM?

Hello,

Persistent routes (as well as other things related to network configuration) are stored in the configuration file:

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Just edit that file and you would have the persistent routes.

Just add the following entries in the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. For example if you want to add a route to 200.200.200.0 network with C class, and lets say you want to route to 172.10.1.1 type:

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net 200.200.200.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="172.10.1.1"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="1"

... and do not forget to apply those changes, by restarting the network subsystem
(

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start
)
.

For more information

vi /sbin/init.d/net

I've always edited the "netconf" file by hand myself - do be careful about the index numbers there btw. However, I do believe that SAM knows how to modify that file on your behalf.
