Thanks Sun Managers
The solution I liked best was john Valdez
The rest of the reply are below those that suggest adding the
defaultrouter
file only does not work on sun3/60 but does work on the Sparc.

If you have SunOS 4.1.1B installed on that 3/60, just create a
/etc/defaultrouter file as you're probably used to. If not, create
one anyway, and add this snippet to /etc/rc.local, after the "ifconfig
-a ..." line:

#
# Try to add a default route again, now that "/usr" is mounted and NIS
# is running.
#
if [ ! -f /sbin/route -a -f /etc/defaultrouter ]; then
route -f add default `cat /etc/defaultrouter` 1
fi

You could also hardwire the default route in /etc/rc.local as well.

Robert,

For both Sun OS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.x do:
create file /etc/defaultrouter
contents of file is IP address of router.
Setting of default router is not well documented. It is implemented in
the system start-up scripts (Sun OS /etc/rc.* ; Solaris /etc/init.d,
/etc/rc?.d).

What OS?

If it's 4.1 or 4.1.1 then just create a file called /etc/defaultrouter
with either the hostname or IP address. For older releases just edit
/etc/rc.local, comment out the line that starts up in.routed and add:

route add default xyz 1

where xyz is the hostname or IP address of the defautl router.

In the ;later releases there is a little bit of shell script that reads
from the file and performs the route add command. Nothing terribly
special there.

ame as any other SunOS 4.x box (assuming you're running SunOS 4.x --
latest that supports the sun3 is SunOS 4.1.1_U1); create
/etc/defaultrouter with the IP address of the intended "default
router".


There should be code in /etc/rc.local that looks for this and takes care
of it.

add a 'route default <router> 1' to /etc/rc.local (at the end is a good
place)

	Robert,


  Set the IP Address or host name of the router in /etc/defaultrouter.
