Hi, I've setup several FreeBSD systems in our lab and am trying to user router discovery via routed. The arguments to routed are -q -t -t -t -T filename I've already setup routed on 2 other FreeBSD machines to act as RIP2 routers (as well as router discovery servers) and they seem to work fine. What I don't understand when testing the route discovery client is why I am seeing sendto(224.0.0.2) "No Route to Host" and sendto(224.0.0.9) "No Route to Host" messages at boot time (as well as at regular intervals after boot.) What I add a default route to rc.conf and reboot, I don't see these messages anymore (even when the default router is to a non-existant gateway.) So it seems that router discover in routed wants a route to exist to 224.0.0.0 Doesn't the need to define a route defeat the purpose of router discovery? Am I missing something?
