[OpenIndiana-discuss] Upgraded OI to oi_151.1.2, suddenly there's no default route???
I had to add it manually. What gives? P.S. I am very sorry for inadvertently including an entire OIdiscuss message in my last missive, my ipod had my fingers confused ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Dunno. It's hard to see your network from here.
How are your network and system configured? Are you using DHCP or
manually configured ("static") addresses? If manual addresses, are you
using ICMP Router Discovery, RIP, or some other routing protocol on your
network?
Are you using the default NWAM or some other configuration? Have you
looked at the system log files? If so, what do they say? What does
"svcs -xv" say?
In general, DHCP can (but is not obligated to) provide you with a
default route. ICMP Router Discovery can also do that. RIP-2 and OSPF
can do the same job, but are much more flexible and can provide
arbitrary network and host routes as well. If you don't use any of
those, then you have to configure the default route manually, along with
some way to make it persist.

Manual, simplest possible setup, no RIP...
It was just that I went back & forth between oi151a and oi151a2, and the
route was there in 151a, and wasn't there in 151a2... BUT that can have
multiple explanations, I suppose.
I was wondering if there is any change specific to 151a2 that could or
should have this partic consequence.
No matter, route add default did the trick.
Funny bit is that the default route was obviously there for a minute or
two (things happened with mail that would require a default route), then
disappeared. So I'd just like to understand.
Still thanks for your patient interest.. :-)

Or perhaps some other mechanism? If you used a simple "route add" at some point and then rebooted, that's not permanent. > It was just that I went back & forth between oi151a and oi151a2, and the > route was there in 151a, and wasn't there in 151a2...

If you're able to reproduce the problem, then running "route monitor" and directing the output to a file will be helpful. It should identify the process that is removing the route, which will then help focus the issue. What about logs? -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
