FW: SUMMARY: route delete problem

Well, I was unable to resolve this issue.  All the command I tried to remove
the route failed.  It had been suggested that I add a route to the net and
that would allow me to delete the host route, but this just left me with two
routes that I was unable to delete.  ifconfig <int> down;ifconfig <int>
unplumb got rid of the bad routes, but  they returned the moment I brought
up the interface.

Further research shows people hitting this issues on Ultrix, digital Unix,
SGI's, and all flavors of Solaris.  

My finaly resolution turned out to be a reboot(machine is in stonbeat
cluster).

We had an critical ticket open with Sun with no resolution.  They kept
suggesting different version of route delete <foo> to no avail.

another quick question. It has been suggested that I ifconfig sbif1:1 down
the interface.  If i do this, will i loose the interface configuration?

Sorry i neglected to post the OS version, it is
# uname -a
SunOS gsun401 5.6 Generic_105181-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine

the 10.132.236.10 interface is a configured interface on the machine...

For the record, these are all the commands i've tried...

route delete host 192.168.2.11 -interface 10.132.236.10
route delete host 192.168.2.11 10.132.236.10
route delete net 192.168.2.11 10.132.236.10
route delete 192.168.2.11 10.132.236.10
route delete -host 192.168.2.11 10.132.236.10
route delete 192.168.2.11 -netmask 255.255.248.0 -interface 10.132.236.10

all report not in table, here is the table with a -nvr switch

Have you tried:

route delete host 192.168.2.11 -interface 10.132.236.10
or
route delete host 192.168.2.11

let me know if this fixes your problem.

Hello,

I ahve an issue where a I added a route to a box and now cannot delete it.
the command I used to enter the route was

route add host 192.168.2.11 -interface 10.132.236.10

route delete 192.168.2.11 -interface 10.132.236.10  fails with .....

delete host 192.168.2.11: gateway 10.132.236.10: not in table

in fact, all of the following command fails the same way...


route delete host 192.168.2.11 10.132.236.10
route delete net 192.168.2.11 10.132.236.10
route delete 192.168.2.11 10.132.236.10

and many forms of the same all yield

delete host 192.168.2.11: gateway 10.132.236.10: not in table

I had a glimmer of hope and even tried.... 

route change host 192.168.2.11 10.128.10.129
change host 192.168.2.11: gateway 10.128.10.129

which still yielded...

Routing Table:
  Destination           Gateway           Flags  Ref   Use   Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
192.168.2.11         10.132.236.10         UH       3     19  sbif1:1

in my routing table...


Any thoughts.  Usenet and archive searches for this issue provided no
solutions, although many people have been hit by this.  It seems that I am
at the point where the only way to get rid of this route is a reboot.

Thanks,
Sean
