8 DECLARE A ROUTER
To declare a router you must create file called S93route in the /etc/rc2.d directory and add some lines
which declare the router. Each time the system boots the information in the /etc/rc2.d/S93route file is
processed automatically and the router is automatically declared. Use the following steps to declare a
router:
1. From behind the Browser, launch a command window (see Launching a Command Line Window on
page 120).
A command window appears with an ADS prompt.
2. Log in as root as follows:
a. At the ADS prompt enter:
su -
b. When requested to specify the root password, enter:
operator
3. Ensure that the /etc/rc2.d/S93route file exists, by entering:
touch /etc/rc2.d/S93route
4. Allow the /etc/rc2.d/S93route file to be written to, by entering:
chmod ou+w /etc/rc2.d/S93route
5. Exit as root user to return to sdc user, by entering:
exit
You are returned to the command prompt as sdc user.
6. Open the /etc/rc2.d/S93route file with the textedit command, by entering:
textedit /etc/rc2.d/S93route
The /etc/rc2.d/S93route file appears in an X-Windows based TextEdit application window.
7. In the TextEdit application window, type the following four lines (separated by carriage returns):
#!/bin/sh
# Section for routing
echo Starting route service
route add net <network number> <gateway address>
where <network number> is the address to be accessed through the gateway, and <gateway
address> is the IP of the gateway (router) indicated by the administrator.
To calculate the network number (with relation to the network mask) you can use this link to a net-
work/node calculator: http://library.mobrien.com/net.shtml or http://www.subnetonline.com/subcalc/
subnet9.html
Note:
Typing the "echo" lines help you to locate any possible faults during boot in case of mistyping the
router information.
8. Save the /etc/rc2.d/S93route file (File > Save) and double click the button in the top left of the
TextEdit window to exit the editor.
9. Log in as root as follows:
a. At the ADS prompt enter:
su -
b. When requested to specify the root password, enter:
