Routes being automatically added
Hello,
I have two AIX 5.3 servers that are supposedly set up exactly the same. The problem I am having is on one of the servers, it seems dynamic routes are being added mysteriously and non-periodically. This only happens on one server and not the other. Also, there doesn't seem to be a specific event that occurs (such as reboot) that causes this to happen.
Any ideas as to why this could be happening?
Thanks,
Mike

What is the proper way to add routes in the routing table so after a node reboot the routes will not be lost.
I understand the /etc/defaultrouter for the default router
and the <route add> command but using this command routes will be removed once the node reboots.
Thanks (7 Replies)

route.conf
ROUTE.CONF(5) BSD File Formats Manual ROUTE.CONF(5)
NAME
route.conf -- static routes config file
DESCRIPTION
The route.conf file is read by the staticroute rc.d script during system start-up and shutdown, and is intended for adding and removing
static routes.
FILE FORMAT
Lines starting with a hash ('#') are comments and ignored. Lines starting with a plus sign ('+') are run during start-up, while lines start-
ing with a minus sign ('-') are run during system shutdown. If a line starts with a '!', the rest of the line will get evaluated as a shell
script fragment. All other lines are passed to route(8). During start-up, they are passed behind a ``route add -'' command and during shut-
down behind a ``route delete -'' command.
FILES
/etc/route.conf The route.conf file resides in /etc.
/etc/rc.d/staticroute
rc.d(8) script that parses route.conf.
EXAMPLES
In this example, the interface for the desired routing changes is set, the IP address on that interface is determined, and a route is added
during startup, or deleted during system shutdown.
# Set interface and determine current IP address for added route.
!ifname=bnx0
!ipaddr=$(/sbin/ifconfig ${ifname} | awk '$1 == "inet" {print $2}')
net 10.10.1 -interface ${ipaddr}
In this example, IP forwarding is turned on during start-up, and a static route added for 192.168.2.0. During system shutdown, the route is
removed and IP forwarding turned off.
# Turn on/off IP forwarding.
+sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
-sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=0
net 192.168.2.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.150.2
