Editing routing tables

prac2 · 10-23-2001, 02:48 PM

To start off with I blocked a route using the command:

/sbin/route -host 10.10.10.79 reject

Then I checked the ip table using

netstat -r

I then added the host using

/sbin/route add -host 10.10.10.79 dev eth0

and I got my services back, but when I checked the IP table again, there were two entries for host 10.10.10.79. How can I remove the old rejected entry?

Please help.

route del -host 10.10.10.79

This will probably delete both entries. Well, you know how to set the one you wanted!

Have fun! Steave.

thanks steave,
when I tried what you suggested, it removed the newer entry. I was still left with the old entry. When I tried it again, I got the error message:

SIOCDELRT: No such process

I regained services by typing:

/sbin/route add -host 10.10.10.79 dev eth0

The Old denied entry is still there, is there some file I can edit directly that is safe?

Don't know about the config-files. Probably you will get rid of the entry if you just try

route -host x.x.x.x allow?

Do have a look at the man-page for route.

all ip configs for eth0 are located in

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

back it up and edit carefully. I'd guess it'd be pretty obvious what's wrong.

This is assuming that each entry you main is defninitly for that interface, not just the same ip. look in

/etc/sysconfig/network

too.
