A search on RedHat for static routes shows up the following: http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/tips/Network-Config-Tips /Network-Config-Tips-4.html Not sure which distribution that goes with. I couldn't find anything in the RedHat 7.2 Reference Guide about static routes. Note that the format suggests that you provide the interface, not the gateway: "Each line of the static-routes files should have the format: device args When a network interface is brought up, each line for that interface is passed to route as: route add -args device " thanks, Nivedita Vinod <geekvinod@yahoo.com>@vger.kernel.org on 04/29/2002 12:41:19 PM Sent by: linux-net-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Glynn Clements <glynn.clements@virgin.net> cc: linux-net@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: making routes permanent i tried putting any net 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.10 in my /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but still it didnt show up as a permanent route.i looked at the /etc/rc.d/inet.d/network script and as far as i could interpret(am a relative newbie),this was supposed to be the format for my RH 7.2. can anyone using rh7.2 confirm that "any net 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.10" is what needs to be put in /etc/sysconfig/static-routes to make this entry permanent?
