PB add a permanant route

[attawhid]

I have 2 HP server
serv1 ip address 192.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.192 getway 192.1.1.62
serv2 ip address 192.1.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.192 getway 192.1.1.126
I want to add a permanant route in both servers to the network 172.30.173.0/24 via the getway 192.1.1.40.

By adding the following bloc in the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf in serv1
ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]="net 172.30.173.0"
ROUTE_MASK[2]=255.255.255.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[2]=192.1.1.40
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[n]=""
i can ping 172.30.173.1 and i can see the route in the result of netstat -r

I tryied to the same in serv2 but in vain. even if that i can ping 192.1.1.40 from serv2 the message error is
"
add net 172.30.173: gateway 192.1.1.40: Network is unreachable
"

Help me PLZ ;)
NB serv1 and 192.1.1.40 are in the same physical.

BRs,

Shalom,

I can think of two things to look at.

1) The second server is not on the same physical network or its network port switch settings block the second gateway.

2) There is something else in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf that is interfering with this route.

Maybe read through carefully or copy them to a directory together and run diff on them.

Shalom,

Sorry there is a mistake in the text, the correct one is
ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]="net 172.30.173.0"
ROUTE_MASK[2]=255.255.255.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[2]=192.1.1.40
ROUTE_COUNT[2]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[2]=""

The server serv2 is in an other physical network.

I run the "diff" command for the two netconf files, the differences are in HOSTNAME, IP_ADDRESS[0] and the ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]

Imho further clarification since your earlier posts are somewhat confusing. Post the routing table with the "netstat -rn" command and IP's of server1 and server2 alongwith their netmasks; unless the ones you have already posted are correct. In any case going over them would help.

~thanks

serv1 hostname is enms1

Dear all,

I have fixed this issue!
the problem was in the routers configurations ;)

Thanks for all,

[attawhid]

i have updated the routers (four) configuration with the new route.
and now it's OK i can access the network 172.30.173.0 machines.

bye

Could you also post the "route add" command you issued on server2 to add network number 172.30.173.0 to the routing table. The solution might be as simple as adding an indirect route to 192.1.1.40 thru the default gateway on server2 i.e.

# route add host 192.1.1.40 netmask 255.255.255.192 192.1.1.126 1

see if running the above command on server2 fixes the problem.

~hope it helps
