how to specify default network interface?

zero79 · 10-14-2005, 08:29 PM

This is likely a very simple question...i just don't have the answer offhand. Let's say i installed debian with eth0 as my default network interface, however, i have now switched to wireless and want eth2 to be my default interface. What do i need to do so that at boot eth2 will be configured automatically instead of eth0? I greatly appreciate any thoughts.

Peace.

Try:

Code:

route del default
route add default gw <IP OF GATEWAY FOR ETH2>

and dont forget to add it to
/etc/network/interfaces
(with the correct syntax)
or to your boot script
