Hi,
I must configure a Solaris 8 box as the default gateway for our network,
which uses RIPv1. The Solaris box itself must forward all traffic to a
Cisco device (this is our connection to the internet), but this Cisco
device does not talk RIPv1.
I do not seem to succeed in this easily. So far I have tries these things :
- adding a passive route on the Solaris box to the cisco router using
/etc/gateways. This does not work since passive routes are not propagated
in the RIPv1 packets to the other machines in out network.
- adding the same but now _active_ route to the cisco router, again via
the /etc/gateways file. This does not work since the Cisco box does not
talk RIPv1, so after some minutes the route to the cisco box disappears
from the Solaris routing table and consequently from the routing tables
everywhere in the LAN
- running in.routed with the -g option (Solaris 8). This way the Solaris
box tells everyone (via RIPv1) that he is the default route, but for some
reason this route is propagated with metric 0, so ... no go.
Using Rdisc/gated is not allowed, but moving to Solaris 9 is (I know
routed has been facelifted in Solaris 9)
Any suggestions are more than welcome ;-)
Many thanks
Jo
