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.
