Full Discussion: Permanent Default Route
Operating Systems AIX Permanent Default Route Post 87768 by bakunin on Thursday 27th of October 2005 12:42:40 PM

The reason is you set the default route with something like a "route add ...", right?

This is fine, but is not persistent, because th information is not stored anywhere on a media which would survive reboot, just in memory. To change the default route permanently you would habe to change it in /etc/rc.inetd or - better yet in AIX - there and in the ODM too.

To do this issue a "chdev" (see the man page for chdev for details) or (this is effectively doing the same) issue "smitty tcpip", enter the "minimum configuration" screen and change it. (Pressing <F6> after filling out all the menus will show you the command SMITty would issue, so you could write it down and further use it in a script or so.)

NAME
dump_sockdfr - Display contents of frozen route file for SOCKS server SYNOPSIS
dump_sockdfr [infile] DESCRIPTION
dump_sockdfr reads in a frozen route file for the SOCKS server and produces a listing of its contents on the standard output. The argument is optional; if omitted, /etc/sockd.fr is assumed. The frozen route file is produced by make_sockdfr and is essentially the memory image of the parsed route file. Using the frozen route file can reduce the start-up delay of the SOCKS server program since it no longer has to parse the file contents. When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for the frozen route file /etc/sockd.fr first. If that file is not found, it then tries to use the plain-text route file /etc/sockd.route. If you use frozen route file, you must remember to run make_sockdfr every time after you modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use the frozen version of a previous route file.
