Can you please guide me to have a default gateway on my centos 7 VM as permanent solution??
Pre adding default gateway configuration is

Another question is why some sort of dhcp process is lingering around, is that required? can we stop it?? I am not sure if that is responsible for the error message "Connection Failed: Failed to activate network connection" error on boot up.
Your guidance is like always would be very much appreciated.
I'm not super familiar with the Redhat style networking configs, but it looks to me like you should either be bringing the network up with ifup instead of network manager (probably my preferred method for a stationary computer) or change NM_CONTROLLED=no to yes.
On the second question: yes, it's my understanding that some sort of DHCP client needs to occasionally talk to your router and make sure they're still in agreement, as well as a supplicant for rekeying if you're using WPA/WPA2. You can look at your network log file (for rsyslog) or sudo journalctl -r (for journald) to see what it's doing, mine says it renews every 33,000 seconds or so.
There are alternatives to using DHCP, but I don't recommend them.

DEFROUTE=<answer>, where <answer> is one of the following:
yes Set this interface as the default route.
no Do not set this interface as the default route.
Yes , DEFROUTE=yes is the answer as for rest everything was in tact. with DEFROUTE=no even if I add a default route it used to go away after reboot. Another to consider is delete all IPV6 settings as well. Thread be closed. Thanks very much for your help Guys ! This forum is super amazing !!

Why default gateway goes away after reboot??
