DECLARE A ROUTER
To declare a router you must create file called
S93route
in the
/etc/rc2.d
directory and add some lines
which declare the router. Each time the system boots the information in the
/etc/rc2.d/S93route
file is
processed automatically and the router is automatically declared. Use the following steps to declare a
router:
1. From behind the Browser, launch a command window (see
Launching a Command Line Window
A command window appears with an ADS prompt.
2. Log in as root as follows:
a. At the ADS prompt enter:

3. Ensure that the
/etc/rc2.d/S93route
file exists, by entering:
touch /etc/rc2.d/S93route
4. Allow the
/etc/rc2.d/S93route
file to be written to, by entering:
chmod ou+w /etc/rc2.d/S93route
5. Exit as root user to return to sdc user, by entering:
exit
You are returned to the command prompt as sdc user.
6. Open the
/etc/rc2.d/S93route
file with the textedit command, by entering:
textedit /etc/rc2.d/S93route
The
/etc/rc2.d/S93route
file appears in an X-Windows based
TextEdit
application window.
7. In the
TextEdit
application window, type the following four lines (separated by carriage returns):
#!/bin/sh
# Section for routing
echo Starting route service
route add net <network number> <gateway address>
where <
network number>
is the address to be accessed through the gateway, and <
gateway
address>
is the IP of the gateway (router) indicated by the administrator.
To calculate the network number (with relation to the network mask) you can use this link to a net-
work/node calculator:
