Hi Julian and all, Thanks for advice. Where does ss010824 live? The "current" version from Alexey's ftp server is ss001007. My main table before the command fails looks like: # ip ro ls tab main 66.xx.yy.208/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 66.xx.yy.210 65.yy.xx.96/27 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 65.yy.xx.104 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.245 default via 65.yy.xx.97 dev eth2 default via 66.xx.yy.209 dev eth1 equalize Then after: # ip ro del default # ip ro del default # ip ro ls 66.xx.yy.208/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 66.xx.yy.210 65.yy.xx.96/27 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 65.yy.xx.104 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.245 So then I try: # ip ro add default nexthop via 65.yy.xx.97 dev eth2 nexthop via 66.xx.yy.209 dev eth1 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Where can the problem be? The initial setup with the defaults entered separately isn't what I need, since the lines are unequal (need weights to work right).
