Re: Static interface routes for IP address on different subnet doesn't send an ARP who-has



So just to wrap up - this configuration did the trick for my ISP, I think the documentation should be updated (at http://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/#nonsubnetgateway) this was for my setup:

198.50.219.49 = Failover IP
198.27.66.254 = Dedicated server gateway IP
vioif0 = Ethernet Interface

# ifconfig vioif0 inet 198.50.219.49 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 198.50.219.49
# route add -net 198.27.66.254/32 -cloning -link -iface vioif0
# route add default -ifa 198.50.219.49 198.27.66.254

So if the documentation were to be updated on the NetBSD site (as I'm sure I'm not the only person that ran into this issue) it would be:

# ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.0.1
# route add -net 192.168.0.1/32 -cloning -link fxp0 -iface
# route add default -ifa 10.0.0.1 192.168.0.1

Cheers,

-Peter

Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Interface 198.50.219.49 52:54:00:40:aa:16 UHLc 0 8 - lo0 => 198.50.219.49/32 link#1 UC 1 0 - vioif0 198.50.219.62 52:54:00:07:a6:f6 UHLc 0 3 - vioif0 => 198.50.219.62/32 link#1 UCS 1 0 - vioif0

I tried the route cloning suggestion to see if it would work for the
/32, on NetBSD 6.1:

# ifconfig vioif0 inet 198.50.219.49 netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast 198.50.219.49
# route add -host 198.50.219.62 -link -cloning -iface vioif0
add host 198.50.219.62: gateway vioif0
What's the routing table in NetBSD look like at each step?

Hmm, -host doesn't make sense with -cloning.  Perhaps you will get a
different result from 'add -net' instead of 'add -host'?
