We were instructed to put the "route add" command in rc.foxapps by TAC. We
have the "/etc/defaultrouter" file but we also have the "route add" command
in rc.foxapps. I will remove the "route add" command from rc.foxapps.
Thanks for the info.

Gentlemen:
"edit /etc/fox/rc.foxapps"................
This is not where customer boot-up scripts are placed; as
"rc.foxapps" is
for Foxboro core software products only. Customers should
use:
"/etc/fox/user_apps.dat" This file is not present after a
Day-0 install. You
need to create it.
......................"and
add "route add
default 112.113.1.1" to the file."
While this entry would work. It is better practice to build
an executable
script and have the entry in the /etc/fox/user_apps.dat
point to the
executable script that does the "route() call"
But as John Metsker pointed out the proper way to add
default router is to
create "/etc/defaultrouter" and simply add the IP address of
the default
router, similar to the /etc/hostname.(hme/le)x entries. Then
reboot and
check for the default router entry by typing "netstat -nr"
to yield the
routing table and reveal the default route.
Ie/
Create the defaultrouter file:
# echo 192.168.1.1 > /etc/defaultrouter
Reboot Box
Check routing tables:
# netstat -nr
Routing Table:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use
Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------
---------
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 23
lo0
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.4 U 2 2
le1
151.128.0.0 151.128.8.65 U 3 0
le0
224.0.0.0 151.128.8.65 U 3 0
le0
default 192.168.1.1 UG 0 0
notice how the "192.168.1.1" entry is now the default
gateway (route)

You need to add the router as the default gateway.
First enter
"route add
default 112.113.1.1", next edit /etc/fox/rc.foxapps
and add "route
add
default 112.113.1.1" to the file.

Question
I have a question regarding setting
up the 2nd
ethernet port
to access other
networks via a router. Here are the
details of my
system
setup:
AW51C: 112.113.105.1
Router: 112.113.1.1
AW51B: 106.106.4.4
Netmask (51C) 255.255.0.0
What I am trying to do is access the
AW51B from the
AW51C.
On the AW51C, is
there somewhere where I have to
setup the router
address so
that it knows where
to send messages that are outside of
the local
(112.113)
network? Right now I
am getting error messages indicating
that the 51C
can't
access the 51B network.
Thanks,
