Configuring routed on a router

To configure the routed routing daemon on a router:

1. Remove or verify the non-existence of the /etc/inet/gated.conf file.

2. Create a /etc/inet/gateways configuration file if you need to create any static routes (see routed(1Mtcp) for a full description of the format of this file).

   ---

   NOTE: This is not normally necessary if the other routers on the connected networks advertise their presence using RIP updates.

   ---

3. Edit the Internet services configuration file /etc/inet/config. The entry that starts routed should read:

   sort-key:/usr/sbin/in.routed:/usr/sbin/in.gated:y:::
   

   For more information about /etc/inet/gateways and routed, see routed(1Mtcp). For more information about the /etc/inet/config file, see config_inet(4tcp).

4. Shut down and reboot the system for the changes to become active.
