[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] routing in a subnet

pmoore@hemel.bull.co.uk (Paul Moore) (11/27/90)

I am trying to get the following to work and cannot, it seems it should to me.
It is on Lachman and HP-UX.

All this is on a class B net (123.456 for example). The net is subnetted on
8 bits ( a not uncommon situation , I imagine).
Some boxes don't do RIP so I need static routing tables.
I don't want a global default installed for security reasons.

boxa knows where all the subnets are (123.456.1 , 123.456.2 etc)

boxb is installed on 123.456.1 and I want to tell it that all 123.456 traffic
that it cannot reslove should go to boxa.

so i do

	route add net 123.456 boxa 2

The route installs OK but is ignored, I must do
	route add net 123.456.2 boxa 2
	route add net 123.456.3 boxa 2
	etc..

Am I being stupid? Or what
