Re: Adding a static route for a subnet in netconf file.

Adding a static route for a subnet in netconf file.

Hi Guys,

Hello Guys,

I am facing this weird issue below:

When I try to add a route in netconf to reach the host 110.1.136.96 based on the host parameter ( see below ), I am able to reach the destination server however when I try to add the static route for the whole subnet, the destination host is not reachable, Although the routing table looks ok.

Can anyone advise what could be the issue?



ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net 10.1.136.0"
SUBNET_MASK[1]=255.255.255.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]=10.1.156.36
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=1


ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]="host 110.1.136.96"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[2]=10.1.156.36
ROUTE_COUNT[2]=1

thanks a lot !

Jean

Jean,

First check if you can reach the gateway once the additional route added, then try reaching the host,

# route add net 10.1.136.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.1.156.36

# ping 10.1.156.36
# nslookup 10.1.156.36

Hth,
Raj.

Jean,
If the above working then add in netconf file as follows, after the frist set of route entry, and re-check after netconf re-read has been done.



ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net 10.1.136.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="10.1.156.36"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""
ROUTE_SOURCE[1]=""

Hi,

See below configuration for net conf,


ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="net 10.1.136.0"
ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="110.1.136.96"
ROUTE_MASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]="10.1.156.36"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="10.1.156.36"
ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""


If problem resolved , assign point.

Cheers//

Hi Guys,

It didn't work when I did the configuration in netconf.

Any other idea what could be the problem?

Hi, can you send a netstat -nr after:
1.- Adding the route by command (route add)
2.- Adding the route by netconf
