[Nadine Silue]

Dears,

I have a collegue on another office trying to access my hp ux server.

I need to add a route to my server with his ip address.

The following are the ip addresses: 10.5.0.0.0 and 10.2.0.0 howw do i go about it.

Can someone help pls.

Hi Nadine,

You need to know the default gateway address.
on both networks.


You can try also to add your default on the server itself.

then routers on both subnets must know how to go from one subnet to the other.

Hi Nadine,

>>I need to add a route to my server with his ip address.<<

Question :- add route static or perm route

if static :- please follow the below command you should have root access to perform this

route add net netmask 1 --> refers "ROUTE_COUNT"

Example :-

route add net 10.1.5.16 netmask 255.255.255.255 10.58.1.120 1

to verfiy

# netstat -rn

Prem route :-

# vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

#add the below entries
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="10.1.5.16"
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]="10.58.1.120"
ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

# inetd -c

to verfiy

# netstat -rn

Rgds,
Johnson

Nadine,

Can you post the output of netstat -rn? It might help us to see what gateway's and routes are currently defined.

Hi,

To add a route this is the command

route add net/host netmask gateway count

where count means
An integer that indicates whether the gateway is a remote host or the local host. If the route leads to a destination through a remote gateway, count should be a number greater than 0. If the route leads to destination and the gateway is the local host, count should be 0. The default for count is zero. The result is not defined if count is negative.

Hi,

The information is not enough to conclude, whats the problem. It seems both of your servers are in the same subnet, and there is no need to add the route.
Please post the o/p of following command (From both servers) to get more specific answer.

#ifconfig
eg: # ifconfig lan0
# netstat -rn

Johnson P. 's reply is the proper way to add extra routes to a server in addition to the default one. But you have to increase the index number in the brackets for each extra route. So you add the following for each new route (note the [1] and [2] as the index. [0] is the default route for your default gateway

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="10.1.5.16"
ROUTE_MASK[1]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="10.58.1.120"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""

ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]="X.X.X.X"
ROUTE_MASK[2]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[2]="Y.Y.Y.Y"
ROUTE_COUNT[2]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[2]=""

You can apply the new routes by "/sbin/init.d/net start"
