Hi,

I've setup several FreeBSD systems in our lab and am trying to user router
discovery via routed.  The arguments to routed are -q -t -t -t -T filename

I've already setup routed on 2 other FreeBSD machines to act as RIP2 routers 
(as well as router discovery servers) and they seem to work fine.

What I don't understand when testing the route discovery client is why I 
am seeing sendto(224.0.0.2) "No Route to Host" and sendto(224.0.0.9) "No
Route to Host" messages at boot time (as well as at regular intervals after
boot.)  What I add a default route to rc.conf and reboot, I don't see these
messages anymore (even when the default router is to a non-existant 
gateway.)  So it seems that router discover in routed wants a route to 
exist to 224.0.0.0

Doesn't the need to define a route defeat the purpose of router discovery?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
MikeC
