response time of "netstat -r" is slow

Hi folks,

On one of my L2000 servers running 11.00,
"netstat -r" is slow in response. It takes
several minutes to complete. Please let me
know of any possible cause and how to improve
its response time. Thanks.

How about using netstat -nr. That way it doesn't have to do name resolution. The downside (?) is that you get IP addresses instead of host names.

Sounds like your DNS resolution is slow or maybe you do not have DNS reverse lookups configured correctly.

I agree with Santosh,
the most likely reason is problems/delays in name resolutions.

Hello,

Try netstat -rn This will give you output in Ip-address, instead of hostname.domain

Good Luck..

Thanks Santosh. I forgot to mention that
I know how to use "netstat -rn". I think that
I may have some problem with reverse address
resolution.

Take a look at your /etc/resolv.conf file. You might want to switch to fils first, then dns.
