But "DEVICE=..." would have to be ""DEVICE=enp4s6" if the NIC is "enp4s6", especially if there's no "HWADDR=...". If you set "DEVICE=enp4s6" in "ifcfg-foo", "enp4s6" will be configured and brought up. The ifcfg file name isn't used. If you set "NAME=bar", you can run "if{up,down} bar" and "nmcli <cmd> ... bar", but "ip {l,a,r}" will display "enp4s6". If I have "enp4s6", I set "DEVICE=enp4s6" and "NAME=enp4s6" in "ifcfg-enp4s6", so that everything corresponds and "ip a sh enp4s6" and "nmcli c sh enp4s6" are possible and correspond to the same NIC. Going back to OP's original query, do you have more than one NIC? Do their ifcfg files both have "DEFROUTE=yes"? What's the output of "ip r" (or "route") before you run "route add default gw 192.168.9.1 dev enp4s6". _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
