HP UX routing issue

[prasanth.ps]

Hi All,

I am facing some problem in my HPUX box.

There are two nic in my rp3400 server and it was working with only one nic(lan0) withIP address 172.16.100.35/24 and the gateway(default)172.16.100.1 till today.

Due to some specific requirement from the end user side required to be activated the second nic with different IP range.

This NIC is configured with 10.17.4.15/27 with gateway 10.17.4.1.

All these subnet's are VLAN's in the same core switch.


Now my problem is am able to telnet these server from the 172.16.100.* network and 10.17.4.* network. But if am trying to telnet the server from my client VLAN(172.16.39.* /27) the connectivity is causing issue. Some time am able to telent to the 172. series of the server IP and not to 10.17.4.15 and viseverssa for some other time.Briefly In a specific time am able to telent to either one of the nic ip address of the server.


Please help me to resolve the issue. Due to this clients are disconnecting from the application when these transition is happening.

Rgds,
Prasanth.

if you have a routing issue, it might help if you provided some networking information from this server. Please provide output (screen capture logs) for these commands :

netstat -in
netstat -rn
lanscan
ifconfig lan0
ifconfig lan1
...(for each NIC)
ifconfig lanX
cat /etc/rc.config.d/netconf


These should make a good starting point

Hi, I'm with Mel on this one.

It sounds as though a static route may be required as the data is coming in from one netwrk but is then not able to find the route back.

Publishing the info requested will shed some light on this.

#ifconfig lan1
lan1: flags=1843
inet 10.17.4.15 netmask ffffffe0 broadcast 10.17.4.31

Note:- I didint add the static route in netconf file. i add it msnuslly for the clients network for testing by using the below command.

# route add net 10.17.39.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.17.4.1 1

A small mistake in my initial query.

Clent network is 10.17.39.*/25.

Please correct it while reading...
