nddconf ip_check_subnet_addr 0 not working

[SM_3]

trying to use a class A address with a class B subnet (255.255.0.0)

won't work

I have done this before on a different occasion.

I have edited the nddconf file

TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=ip
NDD_NAME[0]=ip_check_subnet_addr
NDD_VALUE[0]=0

to no avail

Hi,

Just by adding the entry would not help unless u reboot the system or execute the script.

Did u try executing the following command ?

# ndd -set /dev/ip ip_check_subnet_addr 0

yes
system was rebooted too

That subnet mask is perfectly valid with a class A network. What problem are you having exactly? Is there a specific IP address you are trying to use that won't work? A class A address will work as long as your default gateway is correct.

We really need a few more details.

IP 10.0.99.52
SN 255.255.0.0
Gateway 10.0.0.1

Hence I'd like to turn off ip_check_subnet, but when I do I cannot get a network session/login.

thanks

typo

I meant:
ip_check_subnet_addr

I think this is a patch issue. I think that in early versions of 11.0 there was a problem where the nddconf file was not read until after the subnetcheck had run. I'd try PHNE 21767 and 26125. If you use sendmail you will need the latest patch for it to (24419). If not 11.0 use the equivalent ARPA and ndd patches.

Yes 11.00

I have installed the latest QPK patches. I'll have a look at the NE Patche you mentioned.

Thanks
