Solaris

Hello,

I just added a route in solaris 10 system for host to use gateway.

I see that new route in the netstat command
Will this stay after reboot or I have to make any provision for this? Please let me know

Thanks

It wont stay that way you will have to add it to an onboot script. I dont know solaris so I cant help where to put it.

create a file /etc/defaultrouter and append the ip in here.

Thanks for the reply,

I already have the file on solaris10 machine with a default gateway IP in it. Actually machine for which route is being added is on same network as solaris10 machine but I want to route it through gateway, so could you please tell me what IPs should go in /etc/defaultrouter? 192.168.100.5 is already in file

I'm not sure what you mean. Router and gateway mean the same thing.
You already have one default route. Do you need to access another network. If so do this
modify the /etc/rc0

route add 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.1

There you go , this link is very useful, there is a specific file meant for this purpose and command on solaris 10 to make changes persistent.

Well sometimes (in same network) machines also need to be routed through the gateway only so that incoming and outgoing routes remain same for that machine for specific services. that's the kind of setup I have here.

Thanks Seg and others.
