How to get rid of reappearing static route ?

[TSch]

Hi again,

here's another one:

When I do a "netstat -rn" the output produces - among other routes - the following:

10.255.255.255

So far we've been able to figure out, that this has got to do something with samba server - which is running on our system and is essential for our work.

When I shut down samba server via removing the /etc/inetd.conf entries and then do a "route delete 10.255.255.255" the route disappears from netstat -rn and never reappears.

As soon as I restart the samba server the route comes back again ...

How can I prevent this from happening ? Is the route needed for samba to function correctly ?

My guess was that it could have something to do with "dynamic routing" but I haven't got the slightest idea of how to diasble it...

Can anyone help me with that problem ?

Thanks in advance !

Regards
Thomas

Have you tried "smitty tcpip" yet? It seem like this route may be in your ODM and it seems that using smit is the only way to remove these entries permanently. IBM Certified Specialist - MQSeries

Just a thought? Did it have a c when you ran the netstat -rn command? as in cloned route? The default is to be cloned routes....

cloning routes in 4.3.3
add to rc.net also......They need to be before /usr/lib/methods/definet.
# no -o tcp_pmtu_discover=0
# no -o udp_pmtu_discover=0
This values are set to 1 by default in AIX 4.3.3.
Which means clone routes....if you don't want cloned
routes change to zero.

Also route delete does not delete from ODM I believe...
Remove static routes with smitty smit rmroute :
chdev -l inet0 -a delroute=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

chdev -l inet0 -a delroute=net,destination_address,gateway,subnet_mask -
chdev calls a routine that will delete the route from the ODM.
