Am having a brainfade today........

Where do you configure static routes in Solaris, so that they will be recreated on a reboot.

route add blahblah will not let them be recreated on a reboot.

Ooer what happened there ? Dont remember clicking twice....

/etc/defaultrouter ????????

"man defaultrouter" gives some info about routes the machine will use....

Dont want a default route, want to add more static routes.

Dave

druddle

Mind you, could I add the extra routes as default ones as you can put more than one entry in the defaulrouter file ?

dsmith

Is it not /etc/inetd.conf ?

(warning I man not a unixy type person so that may not be correct!)

Right, done it.

I created a file called /etc/rc2.d/S99routes and put the "route add" entries in there et voila !

Dave

ScoobyJawa

ah ya cheat - thats not a fix lol!!! Do the job though

To your other Q - AFAIK you can have a whole list of default routes in that file.....

^Qwerty^

Thats how I do it:

S99static

contents of file is something like:

/usr/sbin/route add <networks you want to add> <gateway>

ids

Remember on Solaris 8 and above you can put the entries into /etc/staticroutes

Ids

druddle

You sure ? Cant find anything about that in the Answerbook server.

ids

Unless the flip flop wearing, bearded Unix goons at our place have added this in im almost sure its a feature of Solaris 8..... Dont have a box to hand to try it on :<

Ids

druddle

ROTFLMAO

stevem2k

I resent that they're sports sandals

yep .. I use /etc/rc3.d/S99routes too ~ saves you having to worry about whether it's Solaris 2.7, 8 or 9.

Steve

Anyone got Sol9 in a production environment yet ? Impressions ?

orbv

Try /etc/gateways

As documented in in.routed(1M)

druddle

/etc/staticroutes seems to be connected with IPv6.

Usally just hack the inet start script. We have custom IP tuning scripts and we just add the static routes in there..

we use /etc/rc2.d/S99routes as well... doesn't mean its the best way thou...

I thought /etc/gateways was a better way... but I'm not payed to think here (@work)...
