Problem:
O/s : solaris 2.5.1
I have two networks
90.1 on router 89.0.129.1
90.3 on router 89.0.129.2 respectively...These two networks have to acces the server[89.0.28.60]
I am adding routing table entry as
route add net 90.1.0.0 89.0.129.1 1
route add net 90.3.0.0 89.0.129.2 1
But based on the order in which i make the entry
i.e in the above case ...when i ping from 89.0.28.60
90.1.1.1 is alive but 90.3.1.1 is unreachable as it is going thru 89.0.129.1 instead
of 89.0.129.2 gateway
One more thing I have observed is that the `netstat -nr` looks like
90.0.0.0 89.0.129.1 UG 0 -
90.0.0.0 89.0.129.2 UG 0 -
but if i add without the net option
route add 90.1.0.0 89.0.129.1 1
route add 90.3.0.0 89.0.129.2 1
`netstat -nr` output looks like [check the destination]
90.1.0.0 89.0.129.1 UG 0 -
90.3.0.0 89.0.129.2 UG 0 -
but in this case i cannot ping to 90.1 or 90.3 network
as it goes thru the 89.0.28.60 gateway which is the primary interface...
i cannot change the netmasks to 255.255.0.0 as i don't know who all r goin to get
affected ...
--- Solution : Well everybody came out with the solution of changing the netmasks or changing the default router... Seth Rothenburg came with some real good solution.. but finally i resorted to this .... I created a logical interface on hme0 as hme0:1 with ip addr : 90.254.254.230 & netmask : 255.255.0.0 then i added the routes for 90.1 & 90.2 same as above.this works .....!!! please create /etc/hostname.hme0:1 with the corresponding ip address..for making it permanent thanx
