Hi All, Recently I encounter some weird phenomenon on the route metric auto-config on Win7, stated as below. I do not know if some one has experienced the same thing and know what's the reason behind.
On Win7, when both my WLAN and Ethernet are connected and have got addresses from DHCP, the route metric of the WLAN IF is 25, the Wired is 10. There is no problem even if my WLAN needs portal authentication. So far so good. When I configured manually the IP address on the wired LAN (with exactly the same address previously get from DHCP), the route metric on the Wired LAN increases to 266. The problem aroused because I was forced to pass the WLAN portal authentication. We repeat the same thing on WinXP, the route metric on the wired stays as 10 in both manually configuration and auto-configuration scenario. That’s obvious an Operation System’s policy on the route metric auto-configuration. But we have no ideas on why this happen. Considering this issue, I suspect that it is important to give different implementations a guideline on route metric auto-configuration. -- Best regards, Zhen _______________________________________________ mif mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mif
