Is there a way to get nmcli to tell you if an interface
is a gateway like you can with `netstat -rn`?

Very related to the previous question.

# nmcli --fields IP4.GATEWAY d show wlo1
IP4.GATEWAY:                            10.0.1.1

# nmcli --fields IP4.GATEWAY d show lo
IP4.GATEWAY:                            --

Uh Oh!

This tells me "what" the gateway is, but not
"if" the device is a gateway:

$ netstat -rn | grep eno2
0.0.0.0         192.168.250.1   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eno2
192.168.250.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eno2

I don't know what you're trying to determine.

Are you thinking that the G in the netstat output means the interface is a Gateway?  It doesn't.
The U means the "route" is valid and the G means the "route" is to a gateway rather than a directly
connected network or host.

Hi Ed,

I did not state my question very well.  My Bad.

I am not after what the gateway address is, but rather

1) if gateway is up or not

2) if my device connected to the gateway that is up

Note that in this instance, if my device is down,
it is also not connected to a gateway.

I was after a way to get nmcli to also give
me this information.

-T


man netstat:

--route, -r
       Display  the kernel routing tables.

--numeric, -n
Show numerical addresses instead of trying to determine symbolic host,
       port or user names.

man route:
Flags  Possible flags include
              U (route is up)
              H (target is a host)
              G (use gateway)
              R (reinstate route for dynamic routing)
              D (dynamically installed by daemon or redirect)
              M (modified from routing daemon or redirect)
              A (installed by addrconf)
              C (cache entry)
              !  (reject route)


$ route -n | grep -i eno2
0.0.0.0         192.168.250.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eno2
192.168.250.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eno2


$ netstat -rn | grep -i eno2
0.0.0.0 192.168.250.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eno2 192.168.250.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eno2

$ ifconfig eno2 | grep "inet "
inet 192.168.250.135 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.250.255


$ nmcli connection down eno2
Connection 'eno2' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/5)

$ route -n | grep -i eno2
<nothing>

$ netstat -rn | grep -i eno2
<nothing>
