[droodle]

ok i'm quite new and have just installed a solaris 10 vmwar eand need to add a default gateway so when it boots i can connect remotely - at the moment i keep having to add the gateway via command line each time.

thanks,

Add the IP address to /etc/defaultrouter (create the file if it doesn't already exist).

 

[tuka]

vi /etc/defaultrouter and add the IPADDRESS of your router.

EXAMPLE:

Router IP: 192.168.1.1


vi /etc/defaultrouter
192.168.1.1

reboot to test.

or ..
netstat -r shows the current routing table

route add destination gateway
eg route add default 172.16.96.9 adds a default gateway

netstat -r will now show your 'new' default gateway.

You should also add this command to one of the /etc/rc.n directories so that is is set up after a reboot.
