I have picked up a customer problem and because I have little experience in this area I would appreciate some advice. Alpha system runs 3.2g. The system has two ethernet interfaces. Using gated the customer is trying to set up a situation whereby a RIP router on one of the the lans broadcasts RIP updates which the alpha will pick up. The network on one of the interfaces is a class B address but subnetted down to class C. ie the mask is 255.255.255.0 So the subnets are for example 128.1.86.0 128.1.71.0 128.1.56.0 128.3.9.0 etc etc The Ethernet port on the 128 net is 128.1.86.1 mask 255.255.255.0 For completeness the other ethernet port is 192.85.197.0 mask 255.255.255.0. There is no routing between the two ethernet ports. The idea was to get RIP updates from an ISDN router on the 128 network So looking at the log file for gated shows rt_ifinit: interior routes for direct interfaces: ADD net 128.1.86.0 gw 128.1.86.1 metric 0 proto DIRECT flags up state PASSIVE| INTERFACE|CHANGED|SUBNET|INTERIOR rt_add:SIOCADDRT dst 128.1.86.0 gw 128.1.86.1 flags 1: file exists ADD net 128.1.0.0 gw 128.1.86.1 metric 0 proto DIRECT flags UP state PASSIVE| INTERFAC|CHANGED|INTERIOR ADD net 192.85.197.0 gw 192.85.197.80 metric 0 proto DIRECT flags UP state PASSIVE|INTERFACE|CHANGED|INTERIOR rt_add:SIOCADDRT dst 192.85.197.0 gw 192.85.197.80 flags 1:File exists . . . . main:RIP quiet main:HELLO no main:EGP no main: commence routing updates !!!!!!!!!!!!!the RIP updates coming in every 30 !!!!!!!!!!!!!seconds e.g. net 128.1.86.2 metric 0 size 500 net 128.1.71.0 metric 6 size 480 net 128.3.9.0 metric 6 size 460 **** there are more entries ....... later on in the log file it tries to add these routes to the routing table ADD host 128.1.86.2 gw 128.1.86.2 metric 100 proto RIP flags UP|GATEWAY|HOST state CHANGED|HOSTROUTE ADD net 128.1.171.0 gw 128.1.86.2 metric 713 proto RIP flags UP|GATEWAY state CHANGED|SUBNET|INTERIOR ADD host 128.3.9.0 gw 128.1.86.2 metric 713 proto RIP flags UP|GATEWAY|HOST state CHANGED|HOSTROUTE ******* *** Note that net 128.3.9.0 is added to the routing table as a host. Any reason why this should be so. It looks very much like a bug or some limitation in gated but I am somewhat in-experienced at this so would appricate any comments. regards John Davies

Cant anyone offer any help on this problem. I dont have access to an
alpha system so cant easily reproduce this.
