add a routing 11.00 by using route and netconf file

[JI HUI]

Try to add following route :
"route add net 172.16.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.20"
In a HP-UX 11.0 machine, following information is shown: "add net 172.16.1.0: gateway 10.1.1.20: Network is unreachable "
What does it means? How it correct it?

thank you

Did you configure a route to your gateway ?
What is the output of 'netstat -nr' ?

Your machine doesn't know how to get to the 10.1.1.20 gateway. You need to define default route or a router that knows about you 10.1.1 subnet.

Hi

To add a route your system need to know how to
access your gateway. I think this message
signified you have no route to access the
gateway (10.1.1.20). You can test with ping :

ping 10.1.1.20

If you have no results you have to add a route
to access your gateway and after add your new
route. If this gateway is on you local physical
network add a route for lan0 or if you can
access it by your default gw verify you have
a default route on your system.

I think the better way to resolve your problem
si to join the result of your netstat -rn (ie
previous reply from Laurent)

Hi Thank you for the advices.
1. 10.1.1.20 is residing at the same physical lan segment where is the server is (server ip 10.1.1.10) and it is reachable by server
2. netstat -rn:
Dest/Network Gateway Flags

[JI HUI]

Sorry, wrong bottom clicked.
the result of "netstat -rn result"
was attached

Your "use" count is zero, confirming that nothing is connecting to that gateway. It's also zero for your local interface.

What does "ifconfig lan0" show?

Robin.

[JI HUI]

The result of ifconfig lan0:
lan0: flags=843
inet 10.1.1.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255

Thank you

Try this one :

# route add net 172.16.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.20 1

If the gateway is not localhost, you have to add a "count" value greater than 0 (see route command man page).

Thank you Laurent, it works!

Hi,

Laurent in this thread suggested this:

Try this one :

# route add net 172.16.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.20 1

--------------

I was wondering what 172.16.1.0 is? Is it a host? I believe 10.1.1.20 is the gateway

If I have to contact hotmail.com(64.4.32.7) Can I do this then?

# route add net 64.4.32.7 netmask 255.255.255.255 1 ?

I am trying to add a new route to my system. I already have a default gateway.
