static route

[jpcast_real]

I am trying to add an static route to an hp-ux 11i but it does not work . If i do it manually I get it:

route add net 174.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 139.16.240.111 1

madcc01:/etc/rc.config.d> netstat -rnv

default/0.0.0.0 139.16.240.1 UG 0 lan0 0


This is my netconf:

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_MASK[0]="255.255.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=139.16.240.1
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net 174.1.0.0"
#ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="174.1.0.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="139.16.240.111"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="1"

Can anyone help me ???

If you are on the console try a "net" stop and then start

Still if you do not get add the command in /sbin/rc3.d/routes_yours

Regds,

I stoped also net and started again .

/sbin/init.d/net stop/start but nothing changes and syslod do not say anything about why the static route has not been added.. and for this reason I must always do it manually...

[KapilRaj]

I think you can add routes through set_parms ??

Give it a try please

Will it be possible for you to reboot? Check if /sbin/init.d/net get executed when the sytem boots.

I have rebooted but nothing has changed

Hi,

it is strange that you cannot add a route.
Are you sure that does command work fine?
Are you sure that can system reach 139.16.240.111?

# route add net 174.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 139.16.240.111 1
# echo $?

Last command should report 0; values different than 0 mean a problem.

HTH.

Best regards,
Ettore

I have another input. Can you re-enter the lines after deleting the existing ones to rule out any control character in the file?

Is your gatway local or remote (1 show it is remote)

Hi,
Can you try by removing the line which is commented in between the set of commands in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

#ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="174.1.0.0"

[jpcast_real]

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_MASK[0]="255.255.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=139.16.240.1
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="174.1.0.0"
ROUTE_MASK[0]="255.255.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]="139.16.240.111"
ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"

With this configuration everything has worked . But I do not understand is the purpose of the number [0] in the routes

[Fabio Ettore]

Ok, then Tamil deserves 10 points!
[0] just is an index for routes, really don't worry for that. If you will add another route take attention to add it with [2].

Ettore

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default

ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=139.16.240.1
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="174.1.0.0"
#ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="174.1.0.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.0.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="139.16.240.111"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="1"


I get the sollution , It is necessary to write in the netconf the default route first . If you do not have the default route you can not find the new gateway for the route [1] . The order is important

Thanks

[Fabio Ettore]

Of course l'order is important.
Anyway in your previous post already put default route first then I don't understand what problem was.

Please assign points to those who helped you. (this my post no points please.)

Best regards,
Ettore
