default gateway changes on reboot

vbsaltydog · 04-19-2006, 02:09 PM

I have a centos 4.2 web server that seems to be changing its default gateway every time it is rebooted. The DG has recently been changed to accomodate a new Shorewall firewall and now whenever the web server is rebooted it changes its DG to the one it had before the firewall was added.
I changed the DG using
route add default gw x.x.x.x

Can anyone please tell me why it is resetting the DG and where is the configuration stored?

Thanks to everyone for your assistance.

You can set a permanent gateway address in /etc/sysconfig/network (I think that's correct on RedHat based systems)

I was looking in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts but you were right on the money. It was /etc/sysconfig/network

Thank you
