Perhaps some of the people who have already
answered questions like this for other
people? A Forum search for keywords like,
say,

add route

should find many previous discussions.

[Bill Hassell]

Edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. Read the comments, especially about the use of shell arrays to configure each LAN.

[Redhat]

edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and add infomation similar to following:

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="172.31.10.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="10.85.65.200"

Take care of your instance no.

Hope this will help

Dear all thanks for all your valuable comments..

i have added in netconfile as above said..

but in netstat -nr it not showing the route details

when i try to add the same in cmd line

it throwing error as follows

172.31.10.0 Gateway : 10.85.65.200 host is unreachable

[AnthonySN]

post the output of
/sbin/init.d/net start
and the route details from netconf file

[jeevanandham]

Please let me know. once i have edited the netconf file, with given details ,

wether i need to restart the network services ?
or inetd -c will work..
# netstat -rn
Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136
10.80.10.91 10.80.10.91 UH 0 lan0 4136
10.0.0.0 10.80.10.91 U 2 lan0 1500
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 4136
default 10.85.65.125 UG 0 lan0 1500

[AnthonySN]

/sbin/init.d/net reads the netconf file
and
so post the error you get by the above command.

[jeevanandham]

# /sbin/init.d/net
USAGE: /sbin/init.d/net {start_msg | stop_msg | start | stop}

i belive need to give stop /start for restarting the services..

Inetd -c will read the configuration

i have attached my current change details

please find the same in attachment

After edit netconf file you have to restart the network.

# /sbin/init.d/net stop

# /sbin/init.d/net start

[AnthonySN]

the entries should be as below.

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="172.31.10.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="10.85.65.200"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=""
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""

also the command is
/sbin/init.d/net start as mentioned in my previos post.

[AnthonySN]

are you able to configure the route?

[jeevanandham]

i have made the changes accordingly as you stated , but i have not given the /shin/init.d/net start .. means why we need to start the net services.. as that is already is in running state...?

i have used this cmd for adding the route.

#route add net 172.31.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.85.65.200

which throws error as

network and gateway is unreachable..

as i checked with network team

they suggested to add the matric on the same



can you please give me the command where to add the matric and how ?

will be helpful for me ....

> network and gateway is unreachable..

What is the IP address (and netmask) of every
interface on this system?

You have told your system that it should use
10.85.65.200 as a gateway, but, apparently,
it does not know how to get to 10.85.65.200.

"route add" does not add any new wires to
your network.

> [...] i checked with network team [...]

If you have a "network team", then someone on
it should be able to explain what's wrong
here.

[AnthonySN]

route add net 172.31.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.85.65.200 1

Of course, I could be wrong.

> they suggested to add the matric on the same

It's not obvious to me how adding a metric
would make the unreachable reachable, but
"man route" should explain how to specify one.

DEAR SASJ,

Thanks for your valuable help, i have added the following route by the above command,

now can see the route details in netstat -rn

# netstat -rn
Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136
10.80.10.91 10.80.10.91 UH 0 lan0 4136
10.0.0.0 10.80.10.91 U 2 lan0 1500
172.31.10.0 10.85.65.200 UG 0 lan0 1500
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 4136
default 10.85.65.125 UG 0 lan0 1500


can please help me how to make this as permanent, as because when server reboot this config may loose..

is my previous /netconfile editing is ok ?

[AnthonySN]

add these lines in your netconf file

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="172.31.10.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="10.85.65.200"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=""
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""

[jeevanandham]

I have already added those details, in netconfile .. is there anything need to be done ?
i have executed
#inetd -c -- for reading the configuration.

how to check wether it added permanently or not ?

[jeevanandham]

Dear SASJ,

can you please help me out to complete the same...

[AnthonySN]

>>how to check wether it added permanently or not ?

if the command /sbin/init.d/net start doesnt error means you are right.
other way is to restart the server and
check the output of netstat -rn

[jeevanandham]

Dear SASJ,
please find my netstat -rn

Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136
10.80.10.91 10.80.10.91 UH 0 lan0 4136
10.0.0.0 10.80.10.91 U 2 lan0 1500
172.31.10.0 10.85.65.200 UG 0 lan0 1500
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 4136
default 10.85.65.125 UG 0 lan0 1500


it is showing my newly added route details

/sbin/init/net start will do any impact ?
