How to prevent a route being automatically added to an static-IP'd interface

triley831 · 09-26-2018, 09:50 AM

Working with RHEL7 server. We have interfaces configured statically. I have two interfaces configured on the same subnet (mil requirement). A route in the form x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0 ethx is auto-configured on both of these interfaces. I need it only on one of them. So I added DEFROUTE=no to the ifcfg-eth0 config file. Yet if I restart the network or reboot, the route for eth0 is still there.

Shouldn't adding defroute=no prevent that route from being created? Am I missing something?

Thanks...

You can define static routes in

Code:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-interface
