    Here is the problem we are facing for nim servers built on P6/P7 Servers. The same scenario works perfectly fine when build on P4/P5 Servers.

    Scenario : NIM Master Server with 3 different Network card to 3 different VLAN to support 3 different subnet and they are on all different VLAN. No gateway so default gateway configured as the same ip as the master network. Master Network is on ent0 and ip is 172.21.64.2/22 and it serves all the clients on 172.21.64.0 network. The same IP address we use for gateway and NIM default routing. This one works perfectly fine.

    2nd NIM ent1 192.168.192.2/24 and it serves all 192.168.192.0 network and secondary NIM network created for it. NIM Routing for this Network is 192.168.192.2 ( server IP ) and it doesn't work.

    3rd network ent2 10.10.28.2/24 and it serves 10.10.28.0 network. And nim routing for this NIM network is 10.10.28.2 ( same as the interface). It doesn't work.

    Tried with all kind of routing etc....and all the clients ( p5/p6/p7) always try to go to master nim after tftp boot from specific network and stops.

    Now, the same scenario works perfectly fine when I build them on P4/P5 Servers. It is a bug on p6/p7 servers or that feature is now taken away I don't know. Anyone has any clue.
