- Surprisingly, MorningStar is a little confused. You can route, but this
- behavior is no longer enabled by default, in compliance with RFC 1122.
- When you add a second interface the system will ask you if you want to
- enable gateway functionality. Tell it yes.
-
- If you've already done this but answered no, do the following:
- /etc/conf/bin/idtune IPFORWARDING 1
- /etc/conf/bin/idtune IPSENDREDIRECTS 1
-
- If for some reason, this should fail, edit /etc/conf/pack.d/ip/space.c
- and initialize ipforwarding and ipsendredirects to 1.
-
- Also, the default configuration in /etc/if.ignore will cause routed not to
- send advertisements out on PPP interfaces and bring them up and down
- continuously. If you need to advertise routes over these links, then remove
- the lines for the interfaces in question.
-
- Good luck.
