How to Add Gateway Address in SCO Unix

UnixWare 7, also known as SCO Unix, is a closed source Unix-based system. Although SCO Unix includes a number of graphical administration utilities, most system configurations must be changed on the terminal with typed commands. A gateway lets your SCO Unix server or workstation communicate with computers outside your local network. Each UnixWare system can be configured with multiple gateways for different destinations. Adding a gateway requires administrative access using the "root" account.

Instructions

1. Log in as the "root" user. Click the "CDE" menu, and open a new "Terminal" window.

2. Type the following command to add a new gateway:

   route -nq add -expire 0 10.12.13.0 -gateway 192.168.1.10

   Replace "10.12.13.0" with the base address of the network to which the gateway connects. Replace "192.168.1.10" with the address of the gateway server or router. If you aren't sure what values to enter, consult your network administrator.

3. Close the "Terminal" window. Log out of the root user.
