Sco Unix routing problem

[spidermanfan]

Hello all,
I am new with sco-unix, and any other unix system.
I have a Sco-unix that can see 3 other subnets.
172.29.10.xxx which it sits on.
172.29.12.xxx
172.29.13.xxx
I added another subnet in my network.
172.29.1.xxx

The 172.29.1.xxx router can ping my Sco-unix server, but if I do a netstat -rn the sco-unix does not know how to get to the 172.29.1.xxx subnet.

My question is how do I get it to see the 172.29.1.xxx subnet?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you need to add a route to network 172.29.1.xxx

For more information look at the "route" manpage.

What does the output of "netstat -nr" look like. This will help you better understand the routing on you SCO box. -Danny

That's what I thought. How is that accomplished?

syntax would be something like this

route add -interface 192.168.43.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

192.168.43.0 ## Network you want to route to
255.255.255.0 ## Subnet mask
192.168.1.1 ## Gateway used to reach network 192.168.43.0


Your command might look this this:

route add -interface 172.29.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # Your gateway

You also use the route delete command to remove a goven route.

These type of routes will disapear after you reboot your system. To prevent that you have t oestablish the route at boot time. RC script is one one to it. Depending on your which version of SCO you have there could be other methods for setting routes at boot.
