netstat vs netconf file ??

[MikeL_4]

Being somewhat confused to say the lease on network issues, how can I ensure that all static routes from a netstat -rn command are in the netconf file to ensure we don't loose anything after a reboot???

netstat -rn example:

Manually compare the output of this command to the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.


It should all tie back in directly.

You need to understand the concept that if the ip address is 192.168.0.10 and the netmaks is 255.255.255.0 the network 192.168.0

Knowing this you can tie back all the entries in this output back to the netconf file.

I know no way of automating this, its a sysadmin eyeball to screen task.

I believe the static routes are stored in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. This is very, very much a "look but don't touch" sort of file. The set_parms utility is the main update mechanism for this file. You can cat or pg or more the file and see if the routes are there, and then confirm by adding another static route via the "route" command, verify the netstat -rn output and then look in the file to see if the new route is there. We don't have static routes on our system, and I'm reluctant to play with something network oriented on a live box.

Hope this helps,
