Make route permanent

rust8y · 12-08-2007, 06:19 AM

I am running Solaris 9.
I have just added a route

route add host 10.10.50.75 192.168.8.16

How do I make this route permanent so after a re-start of the Sun server the route will stay?

Latest Solaris have "route -p" (persistent). With Solaris 9, you need add a custom rc script with the proper commands.

Create a file in /etc/initd/S93inetroutes

Fill it up with the proper routadd info, like
/usr/sbin/routeadd -yaddah yaddah

Link the file to /etc/rc2.d/S93inetroutes

That should be:
/etc/init.d/inetroutes

I have su as root.
cd /etc/init.d

There is no file called inetroutes in the directory /etc/init.d

Do I create the file inetroutes?

Create the file inetroutes -

route add host 10.10.80.14 192.168.8.35

What do I need to do next?
