I had the correct answer from the first posting. My problem was from ICMP
redirects not RIP. Since I was not running gated or routed RIP was out of
the picture.
The problem was with the directions for changing the kernel value. It
should be:
dbx -k /vmunix
(dbx)p icmp_rejectcodemask
0
(dbx)patch icmp_rejectcodemask=32
32
(dbx)quit
This does not require any extra Developement licences.
Thanx again

As always this list is the best. I got quick answers even with forgetting to
put in my return e-mail. Thanks to:

The group answer was to disable routed by going into /etc/rc.config. Sergui
recommended looking in the archives for a fix to disable ICMP redirects,
also. I found this:
dbx /vmunix -k /dev/kmem
p icmp_rejectcodemask
0
patch icmp_rejectcodemask=0x20
32
quit
That's it, you will now ignore all ICMP redirects
Unfortunately, the system I am dealing with is not running routed or gated
and does not have a developers license (its a production box on the customer
site).
Here is a more detailed description of the problem:
We have 2100 running 4.0D pk3. The /etc/routes is:
-net 128.108 128.107.1.3
-net 128.109 128.107.1.3
-net 128.111 128.107.1.3
We loose connection to one of the branches an netstat -r shows:
Rote Tree for Protocol Family 2:
localhost localhost UH 1 1103928 lo0
128.107 izzy U 50 5977184 tu0
128.108 128.107.1.3 UGS 0 0 tu0
128.109 128.107.10.25 UGMS 3 66656 tu0
128.111 128.107.1.3 UGS 0 0 tu0
I know the addressing scheme is not the best but we live with what we
inherit. If I route delete then 128.109 route and route add the correct
route, it fixes the problem for the time being. Until the next time.
I was told by our networking folkes tell me that the problem was RIP. routed
and gated are not running. Are they right and is there a fix that does not
involve dbx?
Any help cheerfully accepted. Thanks in advance,
Tim Baird

Hi folks,
I'm in an area where I have little experience. We are having problems with
routers broadcasting RIP and creating new (and ,unfortunately, wrong)
routes
on our 4.0D machines. I know next to nothing about RIP.
How do I set 4.0D to ignore incoming RIP? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tim Baird
