Yes, modify the /etc/sysconfig/network with the actual default you want and you CAN add the GATEWAY=whatever here on the actual production NIC = eth1 if I am reading this correctly and then remove the GATEWAY=WRONG-IPS from ALL of the other NIC eth? "service network restart" and you should be in business. happenes to me alot, we are building 100+ servers and we have backup ip's and LOMs etc. If you need to access them and you can't without using the GATEWAY... add a regular route to the NIC config. example route-eth0 inside that file use some like the following: Using 172.xxx.32.1 as your main gateway on that NIC to access you other networks from that IP/NIC whatever??? Notice the GATEWAY0, NETMASK0, ADDRESS0 change for each subnet I am trying to access, but my gateway IP stays the same, I am using it to access different networks. ADDRESS0 ADDRESS1 ADDRESS2 ADDRESS3 if needed etc #################################### [root@dlxkrc2db5 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1 GATEWAY0=172.xxx.32.1 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 ADDRESS0=172.xxx.32.0 GATEWAY1=172.xxx.32.1 NETMASK1=255.255.255.0 ADDRESS1=172.xxx.31.0 GATEWAY2=172.xxx.32.1 NETMASK2=255.255.255.0 ADDRESS2=172.xxx.30.0 ####################################################### --- On Tue, 7/8/08, Sir June <sir_june@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Sir June <sir_june@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: wrong default route > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Date: Tuesday, July 8, 2008, 10:30 AM > I have a server out there that i remotely manage. i had a > downtime the other day when we > restarted network services. then we found a wrong default > route is laoded on the server > upon restart. i have the configs below.
