/etc/defaultrouter change without reboot
Hi

I have had to change the defaultrouter of a production server. I have ammended /etc/defaultrouter to point to the new address but when I do a netstat -rn , it hasnt updated. Is there anyway I can apply this change without rebooting the system ??

regards

I have never tried to change the default route on the fly like that, but I think that:
route change default 1.2.3.4 1
might work. Change 1.2.3.4 to be the ip address that you want.

You could try to logout the session and log back in... Whether that is your telnet session or the console.

I have found that some changes are affected by this.
