NWAM doesn't actually interact with routes at all. It doesn't create or destroy them, nor does it know when they need to be present. On most networks, it's actually either the DHCP client (dhcpagent) that establishes and removes a default route, or a routing daemon (in.routed) using RDISC or RIP. NWAM's involvement stops at the point of invoking 'ifconfig xxx dhcp start' and noticing that the interface gets configured. If you're using static addressing with NWAM (a rare situation), then either you have static routes configured as well or you're using a routing protocol as above. You can use either the old school /etc/defaultrouter or the newfangled "route -p" to set static routes that survive reboot. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
