how to add default routes in SCO

tayyabq8 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-31-2005

Hi,

I add following routes manually each time system reboots:

#route add 192.168.1.0 -gateway 192.168.0.90
#route add 192.168.200.0 -gateway 192.168.0.200

Is there any way in SCO 7.1.1 to automate this route add process? i.e. each time system reboots, it automatically adds these routes in its routing table?
I have gooogled and found /etc/route.conf file to be configured, but there is no such file in /etc? Any hint?

Regards,
Tayyab

The system startup files are located in /etc/rc2.d. You can add a file to this directory with the routing entries you have made and each time the system boots, it will add the entries automatically.

I always use a filename that will appear at the bottom of the list in the /etc/rc2.d/directory: for example, "S99zed"

Create the file and using vi, make the following entries:

route add 192.168.1.0 -gateway 192.168.0.90
route add 192.168.200.0 -gateway 192.168.0.200

Each time the system boots it will read the S99zed file and add the routes.
