Subject: Re: Alpha as a Router ?

Well, your static routes are incorrect, the solaris box needs to list
192.168.1.1 as the gateway, the entry for the VAX is correct. On the Alpha
issue UCX START ROUTING/SUPPLY. This starts RIP and enables forwarding on
the alpha. Do not add routes to the Alphas machine, it already knows, how to
forward packets between these networks. Once it works use UCX SET CONFIG
START ROUT /SUPPLY

If you run RIP on all machines you don't need to setup any static routes,
RIP will publish the routes dynamically. Even though it's not a top of the
line routing protocol, it will do the trick.
