How do I keep new routes after reboot?

[MRSG]

Hi,

I've just recently added 8 new routes to 2 V class servers. We need these routes to come up after reboot. I understand I should add these to netconf, can someone tell me how the entires should look if the "route A" was:

Network: 145.14.0.0
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 141.30.131.1

and "Route B" was

Network: 145.15.0.0
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 141.30.131.1

Thanks.

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=145.14.0.0
ROUTE_MASK[0]="255.255.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=141.30.131.1
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=145.15.0.0
ROUTE_MASK[0]="255.255.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=141.30.131.1
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

I think that ought to do it.

Hi,

Follow what Pete mentioned. But just make sure unique [index] is followed. For ex., for 145.14.0.0 use ROUTE_DESTINATION[1] etc., for 145.15.0.0 use ROUTE_DESTINATION[2] etc.,

You may seee ROUTE_DESINATION[0] already reserved for default route.

And of course when you are done, make sure you take an ignite backup!

Thanks, Sri - cut and paste only works if you proofread well - and we all know I don't!

Another word of caution. If you get the routing wrong (usually something like adding an incorrect mask to a host route), you may find that the system hangs when you reboot (in S340net).

I've always tended to use a custom script to add routes once the network has started - we can then add entries and run any number of times without having to stop and restart networking.

Hi,

As Sri says Index should increment by 1 for each route entry
