    Hi All,

    I have an AIX 5 Box and I with four interfaces. Already, the interface of interest has a default gateway on it already configured and working fine.

    However, I have another subnet from which I wish to reach this box and I cannot add the second gateway. Now I thought/thinking I will have to add a static route to achieve this goal. Is this correct?

    Also, to add this route, I have the options of using the #smit mkroute and the #route add achieve this. Now, please how do I use this to achieve this goal and also retain the default gateway(route) that has already been configured on the system.

    Thanks People....

    In additon, to add this route, I added the following command
    route add 0 10.1.1.10 ; where 10.1.1.10 is the Gateway of the network.

    Please does this make my box a gateway? Also I am thinking am supposed to add something like this:
    route add -net 10.1.1.0 10.1.1.10; where the initial one is the network id and the later is the Default Gateway.

    Thanks.

    No, this doesn't make this particular AIX system a gateway.

    If you can already reach 10.1.1.10 by a local interface, why do you need an additional network route for it? That comes "for free" when you configure your network interface.

    Have you run "netstat -rn" to see what routes you have?

    There's no particular limit on the number of routes through an interface. AIX will add routes you request with the route command until AIX can't get memory.

    There's no conflict between default routes and other routes you add. Are you seeing a problem?
