Configuring gated

Troubleshooting gated

You may have to repeat this process several times to track down the original source of the route. If you expect the route to go through a different router, turn on gated tracing. The tracing tells you which routers are advertising this route and the values attached to those routes.

Problem 4: gated does not add routes that you think it must.

Tracking down this problem is similar to the previous problem (“Problem

3:gated adds routes that appear to be incorrect.” on page 107). You expect one or more routers to advertise the route. Turn on gated tracing to verify that gated is receiving packets of the type of routing protocol you expect. If these packets do not contain a route you expect to be there, trace packets on the router you expect to advertise the route.
