First of all I thank Aaron Siebert who pointed out what may be the solutions
for the problem I was facing. Finally I am able to configure the tru64 host
as the router.

These are the steps I followed...

1. Added the route for the 192.168.0.0 network in the hosts HOST1, HOST2
[which needs access to the private network] with the IP address of the
cluster node as the gateway [as the cluster members are directly connected
to the 192.168.0.0 network as well as 129.* network] .
        route add -net 192.168/24 <IP_ADDRESS_OF_CLUSTER>
2. Executed the command in HOSTA & HOSTB [two members of the cluster].
        iprsetup -s [this will configure the hosts as the router]
                        [To check the status of the ipforwarding or
ipgateway run iprsetup -d, and to disable IP routing iprsetup -r]
        rcmgr set ROUTER yes [this will enable the ROUTER flag to YES in
rc.config files ]
3. Modified the rc.config.common of the CLUSTER file by
        rcmgr -c set CLUAMGR_ROUTE_ARGS nogated
4. Add the route for 129.* ip in the hosts of private network [192.168.*]
for which the access is required.[this will create the route back to the
129.* network]

And thats all.

Thanks and regards,
Dhritiman Bhattacharya.

Hi Managers,
I am having some problems while configuring a TRU64 host as an IP router.
We have a Cluster [TruCluster 5.1A, with Tru64 5.1A ] having two interface
[one for a 129.* and another to 192.168*]. The private network is accessible
only to the cluster no other 129.* machines.
However now the requirements become that a few of the private networked
hosts should be accessible from a set of hosts [say HOST1, HOST2 both TRU64
4.0] other than the Cluster.
So I have to use the Cluster as the IP router for the private network from
129.* domain.

I have set the "iprsetup -s ee2" ee2 is connected to the private network in
the cluster member HOSTA.
And I have also done a "rcmgr set ROUTER yes" and restarted the gated
service.

But still the routing is not working from the HOST1 or HOST2.
[I have added the route for the 192.168/24 network to HOST1 & HOST2 with
gateway as CLUSTER_OF_HOSTA].

However I can ping the private ip of HOSTA & the other cluster member, but
not anyother private IPs. Did I miss something, or have I done something
wrong ??? Please suggest.
