I configured routed to start at boot time, using the -q option on an
AlphaServer 2100 running OSF/1 3.2D-2. I have two main gateway hosts on
my local network, one of which is a dual-homed firewall that doesn't use
RIP. It is the default network, and I have it set up as the default
static route. The second gateway is an Ascend Pipeline 130 router,
which is what I'm focusing on here. The P130 RIP-advertises multiple
routes to ISDN-connected networks. Since we have a number of networks,
I want to use RIP in our local network rather than manually add static
routes on 30 or 40 machines. The problem is that I don't see the routes
updating on the 2100!
I tried using gated; no routes update that way either, but at least I am
able to see at least the RIP packets as they arrive. Here's a typical
receipt response:
RIP RECV 172.16.164.110.520 vers 2, cmd RESPONSE, length 124 at Thu Dec 5 00:16:27 1996
net 130.91.0.0 metric 2 size 120
net 130.91.166.22 metric 7 size 100
net 192.168.164.0 metric 7 size 80
net 192.168.164.111 metric 7 size 60
net 198.150.30.0 metric 7 size 40
net 198.150.30.1 metric 7 size 20
I have the following in my /etc/gated.conf:
traceflags all
RIP quiet
Is there something I'm doing stupidly wrong that would prevent the
routing tables from getting updated correctly? (BTW, I am running
'routed -q' under Linux with nothing at all in the /etc/gateways file,
and it works just fine.
