For all you lucky folks with the above box on your network. The Internet has reached a point where if you share the routing information with one of these boxes it will run out of memory and quit. The Annex, not the network. This Annex processes RIP messages with the BSD 'routed' application. Apparently, one cannot substitute a default static route to a smart gateway for 'routed'. Routed cannot be turned off. We have always indicated to our host administrators that running routed in our environment was not a good idea. Instead, in our network a simple static route to a smart gateway is sufficient. Encore has been informed. Phil Wood, cpw@lanl.gov

Encore has a fix that UMich was able to get in beta test. It allows one to turn off RIP listening via "na".

Phil, that's not quite true. From na you can set an annex parameter that shuts off routed. The gateways file the annex downloads can contain a static default if that's what you want. In general, if 4.3 BSD can do it, so can the annex... BTW, Annexen (?) are now built by Xylogics Inc, and I've found support is much better since they took over. Thanks, Milo PS This parameter is available in R4.1 (which we run), but I'm not quite sure how far back it goes. If you aren't running 4.1, you should, it's got lots of neat stuff in it...
