Hi,

in file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

add section

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net x.x.x.x"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="y.y.y.y"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="z.z.z.z"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""

replace x.x.x.x, y.y.y.y z.z.z.z with you
parameters

and run command
/sbin/init.d/net start

Hp documentation :

docs.hp.com
enter the search keyword e.g. "route add"

After modify the netconf file do we need t restart the /sbin/init.d/net ?
In OS 11.11, SAM only managed to configure a default route.

Hi,
after modyfing /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
you must only run:

/sbin/init.d/net start

I need to have default route and static route.How to configure. I can't use route add to add-in..

[Olivier Decorse]

Hi,
For the default route, you can use the route command like this :
route add default x.y.z.t 1
where x.y.z.t is your gateway address.

Or put inside the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf something like :
ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[1]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]=x.y.z.t
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=1

For other static route, just put a valid address of a host or network, instead of "default".

Olivier.
