Hi All,
AS1200 - 4.0F Pk 2
Am having problems with the default route being modified. The machine is set
up with a route in /etc/routes of :
default 1.2.3.4
Immediately after a reboot netstat -rn shows
default 1.2.3.4 UGS
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
1.2.3/24 1.2.3.4
Fine. No problems with that. As soon as I try to go to another of our
networks, say, 5.6.7.8, which is reached via a router at 1.2.3.10 then a
trace gives :
1) 1.2.3.4 (my default)
2) 1.2.3.10 (get passed to the correct router)
3) 5.6.7.8 (get to the destination)
Fine. No problems with that either. However, when I do another netstat -rn I
now see
default 1.2.3.10 UGMS
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
1.2.3/24 1.2.3.4
Rather than adding an entry to the routing table (UGD) like I would expect
it to do it is modifying the default route - which I certainly don't want it
to do as I then lose half of my network!
I am not running GATED or ROUTED on this machine. We have other machines on
the same networks etc, running 4.0E Pk 1 that behaves as I would expect i.e.
it adds an entry to the routing table of the format
5.6.7/24 1.2.3.10 UGD
....and leaves the default gateway as it is.
Out network guys swear that the routers are not at fault...and I believe
them
Am currently working round the problem by adding lots of extra static routes
so that i can maintain visibility of the whoe of my network
Has anyone seen anything similar? or have any ideas?
Thanks
