Adding new route issue - route added to virtual lan card

[Gino Castoldi_2]

Hi,

Server: HPUX 11.11 MC/SG 11.14 rp5470

When I add a new static route it adds it to the virtual lan card (lan0:1) instead of the
default lan card (lan0). Is there a way to force it to use just the default lan card?
Add route command we are using:
route net 192.168.87.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 192.168.223.1 1

Netstat output:
192.168.86.0 192.168.223.1 UG 0 lan0 0
192.168.87.0 192.168.223.1 UG 0 lan0:1 0

As sych you do not need a route for virtual route it uses same route as that of actual NIC.

You also need following.
route net 192.168.86.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 192.168.223.1 1

Hi,

Does my "route add" command look correct?
The problem is that I need the persistent route added to the actual NIC, not the virtual one. Other new routes that we have added have been to the actual NIC. This is the first time that we have had this kind of issue. The cluster package is running on this node so that is why we have the virtual lan card in the routing table.

Hi,
the problem, how you said, is because you run the command after the package started.
It will disappear if you configure the static route in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf an reboot the server. I don' t think there is another solution for your problem.

Here is the correct command sysntax

route add net 192.168.86.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 192.168.223.1 1
