Justin, We have systems with multiple network interfaces. I finally had to modify the default route in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes to look like this.
default 32.71.175.1 - qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.0600 Notice I had to use the persistent name for the interface. The eth0, eth1 type of name can change from IPL to IPL. Ron Sollenberger, Justin W Mr CIV US DISA CDB24 wrote:
We are currently running a SLES 10 SP2 guest (hostx) with access to three networks (eth0, eth1, eth2). The issue we are having is that the default route is not correct after an ipl. If I delete the incorrect route (using: route del) and add the correct route (using: route add) everything works as it should. We have another system (host z) running with the same three interfaces and are having no problems there. I'm just not sure how Linux is creating its routing table with the info provided in the ifroute files. hostz comes up with the correct default ip (x.y.z.129) and hostx does not. The ips/gateways/masks are what was given to me from our networking office. I've included the output from route and the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute* files from hostx and from hostz: hostx:/etc/sysconfig/network # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface x.y.z.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0 eth0 1.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 2.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 1.a.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 hostx:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifroute-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.0* default x.y.z.129 0.0.0.0 eth0 default 1.a.1.1 0.0.0.0 eth2 default 2.b.1.1 0.0.0.0 eth1 hostz:/etc/sysconfig/network # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface x.y.z.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0 eth0 1.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 2.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default x.y.z.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 hostz:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifroute-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.0* default x.y.z.129 0.0.0.0 eth0 default 1.a.1.1 0.0.0.0 eth2 default 2.b.1.1 0.0.0.0 eth1 Any ideas on why hostx and hostz come up with different default gateways when the configuration files are the same? What am I missing? How can I correct it? Thanks in advance for your help.
