In RH7.3 I used the file /etc/sysconfig/static-routes to setup a single static route I needed. It seems that this file is now ignored in Fedora. I did a Google search and did not come up with any entry which helped me identify the replacement file and its contents format. Can someone please point me in the direction of the proper file and its format that I need in order to setup my one route? Or is the proper methodology to use the route add command in a init script?
Thanks.
Have a a look at /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.42.2/sysconfig.txt, it has documentation of how to use the initscripts.
From the sysconfig.txt file:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interface-name>
Contains lines that are arguments to "/sbin/ip route add" For example:
192.168.2.0/24 dev ppp0
adds a network route to the 192.168.2.0 network through ppp0.
So, to add a route out of eth1, for network 198.168.3.0/24 create a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1, that contains
192.168.3.0/24 dev eth1
Cheers, Michael
