NAME

       iprsetup - Internet Protocol router setup

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -s

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -sd

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -r

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -rd

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -fvalue

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -fvalued

       /usr/sbin/iprsetup -d

OPTIONS

       Sets  ipforwarding  and	ipgateway  to  one,  which means the system functions as an IP router.	This option cannot be combined with the -r
       option.	Resets ipforwarding and ipgateway to zero, which means the system does not function as an IP router.  This option cannot  be  com-
       bined  with  the  -s  and  -f options.  Sets ipforwarding and ipgateway to one (like the -s option), and also sets ipfirewall to one, which
       means the system functions as an IP firewall.  Additionally, sets ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects according to the specified value.  The fol-
       lowing table shows the valid values and their meaning:

	      ----------------------------------------------------------
	      Value   Meaning
	      ----------------------------------------------------------
	      0       Sets both ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects to zero
	      1       Sets ipsrcroute to zero and ipchkredirects to one
	      2       Sets ipsrcroute to one and ipchkredirects to zero
	      3       Sets both ipsrcroute and ipchkredirects to one
	      ----------------------------------------------------------

	      This  option  cannot  be combined with the -r option. Only application gateways for firewall services use this option.  Displays the
	      values of ipforwarding and ipgateway. The values are displayed after the values are changed when combined with the -s,  -r,  and	-f
	      options.

DESCRIPTION

       The  iprsetup  command  sets the ipgateway and ipforwarding variables in the running kernel allowing your system to function as an Internet
       Protocol router.

       When ipfirewall variable is set to one, the following variables are also set: Indicates whether IP source-routed packets are  accepted  (1)
       or dropped immediately (0).  Indicates whether ICMP Redirect messages are authenticated (1) or accepted with no authentication (0).

       The  iprsetup  command  is  automatically  executed  by	netsetup  when	you  configure	your  network daemons.	It is also executed by the
       /sbin/init.d/inet script when you reboot your system or restart the network on your system.

NAME

       routes - Specifies Internet routing information to the routing tables

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/routes

DESCRIPTION

       Static  routes  can  be defined in the /etc/routes file.  The /etc/routes file identifies static routes that are automatically added to the
       network routing tables with the /usr/sbin/route add command.  The /sbin/init.d/route script contains the /usr/sbin/route add  command  that
       is executed for each entry in the /etc/routes file when the network is restarted on the system or the system is rebooted.

       The general format of an entry in the /etc/routes file is: Dest Name1 Name2

       The  following is a brief description of each element in an /etc/routes file entry: A keyword that indicates whether the route is to a net-
       work or to a host. The two possible keywords are -net and -host.  The name or address of the destination network or  host.   Name1  can	be
       either  a  symbolic  name (as used in the /etc/hosts or /etc/networks file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.  The
       name or address of the gateway host to which messages should be forwarded.  Name2 can be either a symbolic name (as used in the	/etc/hosts
       file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.

       The  routes file is a Context-Dependent Symbolic Link (CDSL) and must be maintained as such.  See the System Administration manual for more
       information.

EXAMPLES

       To specify a route to a network through a gateway host with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

       -net net2 host4

	      This example specifies a route to a network, net2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a host through a  gateway  host
	      with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      -host host2 host4

	      This  example  specifies	a route to a host, host2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a default gateway host with an
	      entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      default 130.9.0.5

	      This example specifies a route to a default gateway with an Internet address of 130.9.0.5.

FILES

       Contains the /usr/sbin/routed add command.
