Hello,

how can I add a permanent route, that comes up while the machine is booting?

I've heard that I have to create a certain file under /etc/.... that
contains the routing information - is that right? If so, what is the name of
this file and where to place it? And what is the syntax like for adding
routes in this file?

Thank You,

Soeren

try creating the file /etc/defaultrouter that contains the IP address of the
router.
sh.

And if you need a route other than the default, it can be done ie by a
script:
/etc/init.d/setintroute
-----------sample
migselv# cat setintroute
#!/bin/ksh
echo "setting route for 192.168.0.0"
route add -net 192.168.0.0/24 10.1.0.1

and in /etc/rc2.d a softlink

ln -s /etc/init.d/initroute S98setintroute

finn

The default? A close inspection of /etc/init.d/inetinit reveals
that /etc/defaultrouter can accommodate more than one.

Hello,

thank you all for your hints.
I've decided for this way because it comes closest to my needs.

Thanks again

In article <3E9B7947...@start.com.au>,

But they're all installed as default routes. He means a route to a
specific network, like:

ip route -net 192.168.10.0 192.168.1.2 1

Create the file /etc/defaultrouter, and put just the IP-address of
your default router in it.

The next time the system boots, it will set the defaultrouter
according to what's in that file.

For more info, check the manpage for defaultrouter(4).
