1) how can i know the gateway of the interface from command line , when i try ifconfig -a , it show the ip address and mask but not the gateway.
is there any command i can use to show the gateway of my interface ??
2) how to configure my routing table to be saved even after i restart the system , every time i restart i need to use "route add " command to modify my routing table , is there any files i can use or edit to make my routing table permenant ??
To see your default gateway, simply type "route" or "route -n" if you want to see just the numbers.
Right now I do not have access to my redhat server, so I am going to have to guess where the best place would be to put a startup command. However I think I put mine in /etc/rc.d/network or something similar. You can add your route add default gw line at the end of it, or another similar file.
okay thanks alot , i will try it , but if you got the exact place to put the route please tell me
by the wat i put the commands in an excutable file and put it in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d and name it as S75route
so when i log on it run , but i guess i should find a file that i can add routes as a text .
Ok. Just FYI - Scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d only run when you go into graphical mode.
The 5 stands for run level 5, or graphical interface. You may also want to add it to the folder for run level 3 which is the standard command line only run level.
