Routeing problem

[SANTOSH S. MHASKAR]

Hi,

I have configured 2 LAN cards on my system

ifconfig lan0;ifconfig lan1
lan0: flags=1843
inet 10.22.28.93 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.22.28.255
lan1: flags=1843
inet 10.22.185.3 netmask fffffff8 broadcast 10.22.185.7

lan0 is for local access and lan1 is for remote access.
my routeing tables r as below

[root@wfms2] #netstat -rn
Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136
10.22.28.93 10.22.28.93 UH 0 lan0 4136
10.22.185.3 10.22.185.3 UH 0 lan1 4136
10.22.185.0 10.22.185.3 U 2 lan1 1500
10.22.28.0 10.22.28.93 U 2 lan0 1500
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 0
default 10.22.185.1 UG 0 lan1 0
default 10.22.28.200 UG 0 lan0 0

of which the default route 10.22.185.1, I have added manually.

before adding this route I can traceroute to 2 hosts on my network

[root@wfms2] #traceroute 10.22.73.1;traceroute 10.22.73.11
traceroute to 10.22.73.1 (10.22.73.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 10.22.28.200 (10.22.28.200) 0.570 ms 0.419 ms 0.400 ms
2 10.23.139.2 (10.23.139.2) 6.471 ms 10.443 ms 18.191 ms
3 nb1tr.com (10.22.73.1) 28.362 ms 33.474 ms 19.357 ms
traceroute to 10.22.73.11 (10.22.73.11), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 10.22.28.200 (10.22.28.200) 0.519 ms 0.337 ms 0.359 ms
2 10.23.139.2 (10.23.139.2) 14.947 ms 4.492 ms 4.396 ms
3 e2tr.com (10.22.73.11) 4.247 ms 4.491 ms 4.483 ms

but after adding default route 10.22.185.1 sometimes I cannot traceroute 10.22.73.1,
the route for 10.22.73.1 takes a path from
default route 10.22.185.1 and connot get the destination 10.22.73.1,

[root@wfms2] #traceroute 10.22.73.1
traceroute to 10.22.73.1 (10.22.73.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 dfmsrtr (10.22.185.1) 0.489 ms 0.444 ms 0.318 ms

but at the same time if I traceroute 10.22.73.11
the route takes path from default route 10.22.28.200 and get the destination 10.22.73.11.

[root@wfms2] #traceroute 10.22.73.11
traceroute to 10.22.73.11 (10.22.73.11), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 10.22.28.200 (10.22.28.200) 0.514 ms 0.341 ms 0.483 ms
2 10.23.139.2 (10.23.139.2) 4.418 ms 4.342 ms 6.187 ms
3 e2tr.com (10.22.73.11) 6.429 ms 4.135 ms 4.331 ms

this means someof packets goes to 1 default route and some to other how is it possible since the network for both hosts is same (10.22.73.0)?

Can somebody tell how to avoid local packets to go to gateway 10.22.185.1 ?

Suggesting to have only one default gateway if yo u have more lan cards. Else it will make problem like this. Packets will check the default gateway if it is not having any routing. If you have more gateway as default then selection continuing here itself too.

Use any one of them as default gw.

Hi,

Having 2 GW's is not a supported config, not only in HPUX even in general networking unless used for load balancing. If load balancing is concerned, that is the job of network routers and not HPUX servers.

you need to remove the second default Gateway setting and configure "10.22.28.200" as a route to specific networks using "route add net" command. Consult man page of "route" to get more details.

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60127/route.1M.html

If you want to make the "route" entry permanent, add the etries to "/etc/rc.config.d/netconf" file.

Yes I agree that creating 2 default gateways is
not a good idea but if I don't create the default gateway 10.22.185.1 the remote users
r not able to access my system .

[Muthukumar_5]

> if I don't create the default gateway 10.22.185.1 the remote users r not able to access my system
>>>

Then try to add the routing for remote network machines with 10.22.185.1 gateway. Problem will be solved.

Use route add net <...> syntax to add new network. See man route page.

Hi,

Give us the subnet mask and network address part of your Remote users, We will give you the exact syntax to add a route using "route" command.

Hi,

What you can do is a :
route -f
this will clear the gateway and after you can add your default gateway manually. Once it's ok you can add it in /et/rc.config.d/netconf. You should already have one which seems not to be good.

Hope this help
Pat.

Dear Senthil,

The netmask is 255.255.255.248 and remote network is 91.20.1.0,

If is add a route for this using

[root@wfms2] #route add net 91.20.1.0 10.22.185.1 255.255.255.248
add net 91.20.1.0: gateway 10.22.185.1

My routing table shows

[root@wfms2] #netstat -rn
Routing tables

10.22.185.0 10.22.185.3 U 2 lan1 1500

127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 0
default 10.22.28.200 UG 0 lan0 0


How a route for 91.0.0.0 is added instead of 91.20.1.0 ? Pl. explain.

-Santosh

[Muthukumar_5]

91.0.0.0 10.22.185.1 UG 0 lan1 0

Is a wrong entry i hope. Try to remove that as,

# route delete net 91.0.0.0 10.22.185.1 1

Try to add now as,

# route add net 91.20.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.248 10.22.185.1

what are you getting from netstat -rn now.

Try after this.

Is there anything in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file regarding this 91.0.0.0 10.22.185.1 UG 0 lan1 0 entry. Check that.

Anyway after successful setting of routing try to update in netconf file as well.

Hi Muthu,

I tried as u suggested but got error.

[root@wfms2] #route add net 91.20.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.248 10.22.185.1
add net 91.20.1.0: gateway 10.22.185.1: Network is unreachable

Also in netconf there is not any entry regarding 91.0.0.0

-Santosh

[Muthukumar_5 · Accepted solution]

Try as,

# route add net 91.20.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.248 10.22.185.1 1

or

# route add net 91.20.1.0 10.22.185.1

Ping to any other machine in 91.20.1.x network.

Hi,

Thanks all of u.

The issue is resolved, the subnet mask of network 91.22.1.0 is 255.255.0.0 ,

I added route as below,

[root@wfms2] #route add net 91.20.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 10.22.185.1 1
add net 91.20.0.0: gateway 10.22.185.1
