start up script help ..

[someone_4]

Hey everyone,
I have this route add script here that adds routes on start up.The problem is that the
/etc/rc.config.d/static_route
part only holds one route. If I add more then one to the config file it does not add them. I have tried with the []forat
STATIC_ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]
STATIC_ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]
But no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks
Richard

Richard,

Have you tried adding the routes to the route section of the netconf file?

Hi Richard,

You can try adding the routes to the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file. For a complete instruction and syntax, check this out:

HTH,

Hi Richard:

If you are looking for the proper syntax, consider this:

#!/usr/bin/sh
ARY[0]=hello
ARY[1]=richard
echo "${ARY[0]} there ${ARY[1]}"
ARY[0]=date
ARY[1]=hostname
eval ${ARY[0]}
eval ${ARY[1]}

Does this help?

Regards!

Hi Richard

Route that you want to be available at boot time should be added in netconf

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

Example :-

#
ROUTE_DESTINATION[2]="net 10.8.48.0" # Destination
ROUTE_MASK[2]=255.255.254.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[2]="192.1.0.239"
ROUTE_COUNT[2]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[2]=""
#
ROUTE_DESTINATION[3]="net 192.1.4.0" # Destination
ROUTE_MASK[3]=255.255.255.0
ROUTE_GATEWAY[3]="192.1.0.250"
ROUTE_COUNT[3]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[3]=""

Note that they increment up by one for each route. This file is read at boot time and so to add a route on the live server :-

route add - see man route.
And also add it to the netconf file if you want it available after a reboot.

Ok ...
I have added to the routes to the netconf file. Now tell me if I am wrong. But the reason I am going this route is because I was told that there are limitations on how many static routes you can add in the netconf file.

Richard, I remember the same thing, but I haven't been able to find the damn resource thta stated the limits. I seem to remember something like 15 or 16. If I find it, I'll post again.

Hi Richard,

I don't know about the limit on the number of routes that can be placed in netconf. I do know that it can be helpful to have a script to set your routes. It becomes rather simple to run the script manually should your routing table be zapped or some routes dropped.
