VLAN and default gateway

MarioT · 10-22-2007, 03:48 AM

Distro Debian 4.0 r1. I have few VLANs. My default gateway is PC with address from one of VLAN. I added default gw - 'route add default gw ip_address'. How can I do it permanently.
It seems that something like

iface vlan1250 inet static
address 10.100.250.199
netmask 255.255.255.0
up route add default gw 10.100.250.254
vlan_raw_device eth1

is not working, it doesn't want to start vlan interface this way. I've done dirty solution with script in /etc/init.d. Is there any better way.

Thanks
Mario

check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
should have file ifcfg-eth1

ifcfg-eth1 should look like.
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
IPADDR=10.10.10.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.10.10.1
ONBOOT=yes

xx is the values for your nic.
This should work.

Debian controls interfaces via just one file /etc/network/interfaces and "trick" with GATEWAY line is not working with VLANs.
