Good morning, all!

I have a server RHEL 5.2 that I need to set persistent routing to send traffic to a specific router. I've found information on creating a route-ethX file using different syntaxes. Some resources have you declare the default gateway at the top of the route-ethX file, some don't.

My system has /etc/sysconfig/network containing the hostname and the gateway. That declares the global value for those variables.

Question - if /etc/sysconfig/network has that information, do I need to have the first value in the route-ethX file be that gateway? Or do I just start with the first static route and go on from there?

Thanks to all for your help!

Go reading. You need to know that RH supplies an init.d script 'network' which they no longer support and that, IIRC uses /etc/sysconfig/network.

They also have network manager which they do support and an awkward init.d script of that name, and IIRC, that's set up using other config info. Find out whiuch you run.


/googles it

Try /etc/NetworkManager
