How do I remove a 5.0.0.0 route in hp ux11.23 ia64 ?

[epsunix]

The problem is that we have a 5.197 route defined, but for some reason all its traffic goes over lan3 -- which fails.

Im guessing that the (5.0.0.0) entry needs to be removed, as its taking precedence?

Hi,

you can remove the route ip as :-

route delete net 5.0.0.0 5.196.255.1

[epsunix]

Thanks, but that didn't do it either.

bash-3.2# route delete net 5.0.0.0 5.196.255.1
delete net 5.0.0.0: gateway 5.196.255.1: no such route

get a netstat -nrv and a netstat -in
probably a netmask problem on the route
try a
route delete 5.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 5.196.255.1 1
