I have a problem getting my annex to tell other machines what connects to
it. I have several serial lines running SLIP on the annex. Everyone is
happy as long as I have a static route point toward 129.89.2.10 for subnet
10 on every machine on subnet 2.
I don't like static routes. I would like the Annex to tell the other machines
on the network that it is a gateway to subnet 10? Is this possible?
Here is my configuration:
----------
PC1[129.89.10.2]-serial line-[129.89.10.1]--| Encore |
| |
PC2[129.89.10.3]-serial line-[129.89.10.1]--| |
| Annex |--[129.89.2.10]--*
PC3[129.89.10.4]-serial line-[129.89.10.1]--| | | e
. . | | | t
. . | Server | | h
. . ---------- | e
---------- | r
<-[189.89.6.1]--| IP | |
| router |--[129.89.2.1]---* n
<-[131.210.2.1]--| (rip) | | e
---------- | t
---------- |
<-[129.89.1.1]--| IP | |
| router |--[129.89.2.15]--*
<-[129.89.5.1]--| (rip) | |
---------- |
---------- |
| Other | |
|machines|--[129.89.2.xx]--*
----------
The annex listens to rip from the other machines without a hitch. My
configuration for the annex looks like:
#
annex 129.89.2.10
#
# Set up annex as gateway to this host
#
host 129.89.10.1 gateway 127.0.0.1 metric 0 hardwired
#
ifconfig sl1 129.89.10.1 129.89.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1
ifconfig sl2 129.89.10.1 129.89.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1
ifconfig sl3 129.89.10.1 129.89.10.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1
#
# default gateway -- let others override
#
net 0 gateway 129.89.2.15 metric 10 passive
#
# EE doesn't RIP yet, so this route goes in also
#
net 129.89.11.0 gateway 129.89.2.33 metric 3 hardwired
end
How do I get the annex to tell the rest of the hosts on the 2 subnet that it
knows about the 129.89.10 hosts?

There has not yet been an Annex image released that includes an active routed process. I.e., the only routing mechanism you can provide will be by static routes or by another routing entry advertising for you (OSPF makes this easy and desireable, btw). There's some chance for an active routed in R5.0, but other major features and changes have priority.
