<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thank you for the quick answer. But I still have problem with the default route. If I look to debug messages, I cannot see default route.<BR>
<BR>
In file enclosed are debug messages and my routing table. Any suggestions ?<BR>

Every kernel route is equipped with a number, the route's protocol,<BR>
which is ignored by the kernel and only used by routing daemons to<BR>
decide whether to redistribute the route.<BR>
<BR>
The rule is that routing daemons must not redistribute a root with<BR>
protocol number ``boot'' (3 under Linux), and may redistribute routes<BR>
with other protocol numbers.<BR>
<BR>
So in order to redistribute a route with Babel, you must make sure<BR>
that it has a protocol number other than ``boot''. This means that<BR>
rather than saying<BR>
<BR>
# route add default gw 1.2.3.4<BR>
# ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 via 1.2.3.4<BR>
<BR>
you must say something like<BR>
<BR>
# ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 via 1.2.3.4 proto static<BR>
^^^^^^^^^^^^<BR>
<BR>
You may check a route's protocol with the command ``ip route show'':<BR>
<BR>
On my desktop machine:<BR>
<BR>
$ ip route show 0.0.0.0/0<BR>
default via 134.157.168.126 dev eth0<BR>
<BR>
On a Babel router:<BR>
<BR>
$ ip route show 0.0.0.0/0<BR>
default via 192.168.4.1 dev huponomos proto 42 metric 22 onlink<BR>
<BR>
(42 is the protocol number used by Babel.)<BR>
