Hello,
I have a 2.1.5 FreeBSD system. In my /etc/sysconfig file I have a default
route set to the correct address. However, periodically netstat will not
show a default route. Therefore, my system can't get to outside addresses
that it doesn't have a specific static route for. Why does this happen?
After I reboot, the default route appears to be there, but than it goes away
mysteriously. Here is the output of my sysconfig file that pertains to
defaultroute.
#
# Set to the list of route add lines for this host. You must have a
# route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here (unless
# static_routes is set to "" - do NOT use ``NO'' to denote a lack of static
# routes!).
#
#static_routes="foo multicast"
#route_foo="woofo woofo-gw"
#route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 10.0.0.1"
static_routes=""
# Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none.
# This is the same as adding a ``default'' entry to static_routes.
defaultrouter="204.7.172.129"
# This is the routing daemon you want to use. Possible options are
# currently NO (for none), `routed' and `gated'. Also see `routerflags'
# for startup flags.
router=routed
# These are the flags you'd like to start the routing daemon with
routerflags=-s
# mrouted flags, or NO if you don't want to start mrouted. Needs kernel
# options enabled before it will work.
mrouted=NO
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Leslie
