cant ping some ip addresses from rebuilt box

[Dave Chamberlin]

Hello,
I had to recover my k460 server (HPUX 11.) this weekend with a clean OS install. I can ping anything on the server's network (10.2) but I cannot ping anything on our 10.1 network, though I can from all my other HP servers. What is missing?
Other servers also running HPUX 11.0, all have same hosts, nsswitch.conf, netconf files etc. Thanks

Do you have a route entry in the routing table to get to this network?

[A. Clay Stephenson · Accepted solution]

Almost certainly you need to edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and add a default router in the ROUTE_XXXX[N]= section. Putting the entry here will automatically add it during boot; you execute a route add command to add a route dynamically. Man route for details. You can check the routing via netstat -r.

Hi Dave:

I agree with RIck. Do you have an entry like 'ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default' in '/etc/rc.config.d/netconf' ...?

Regards!

Did you define a default gateway?

[Dave Chamberlin]

As it turns out - the route section was commented out, though the parameters were set correctly. Added the gateway dynamically and it works fine. Thanks for fast replies.
