Hi DU Admins
We were forced recently to switch to static routing tables.
Now when I boot my DEC 3000-M400 running OSF1 3.2 I get these
messages (from /sbin/init.d/route start) on the console :
add net default: gateway 130.102.120.30
writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 130.102.120.0: gateway 130.102.120.147: ioctl returns 17
File exists
add net 130.102.136.0: gateway 130.102.120.50: ioctl returns 17
File exists
add net 130.102.172.0: gateway 130.102.120.133: ioctl returns 17
File exists
(BTW I discovered that "ioctl returns 17" just means "File exists".)
/etc/routes looks like:
default 130.102.120.30 -hopcount 1
-net 130.102.120.0 130.102.120.147
-net 130.102.136.0 130.102.120.50 -hopcount 1
-net 130.102.172.0 130.102.120.133 -hopcount 1
netstat -rn shows:
Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface
Netmasks:
Inet 255.255.255.0
Route Tree for Protocol Family 2:
default 130.102.120.30 UG 0 82 ln0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 4 6384 lo0
130.102.120 130.102.120.147 U 22 20228 ln0
130.102.136 130.102.120.50 UG 0 0 ln0
130.102.172 130.102.120.133 UG 0 0 ln0
So everything looks okay and the network seems to be working perfectly.
Can anyone tell me what those error messages are about? Should I be
worried by them?
Thanks
Ian
