how to permanently add route?
 

Hi,
how to permanently add route to routing table?
I use "ip route add 192.168.0.9 via 192.168.1.5"
and each time I reboot it's gone.
thanks

I used to have to do something like that too, and what I ended up doing was just putting a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to do it.

I know that's not the most elegant solution, but it works : ).

Redhat reads a file called:
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes

If you have redhat you can use that if you don't then your distro may have something similar.

thanks guys,
It looks like it work. I use mandrake.

Starting 8.0, atleast on Redhat, static-routes is not being used anymore.

You have to add the entry to /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0.route .... bit flaky here.

Or use the non elegan solution of the /etc/rc.d/rc.local :)

I use (in that file) this:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
