See /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes for enlightenment. :) I'm used to using arguments to '/sbin/ip route add', but you can use ADDRESSn/NETMASKn/GATEWAYn syntax instead. I believe that you can not mix the two syntaxes. Example. Assume your eth0 device has the address 192.168.0.1 on the 192.168.0 network. You want to set a static route through the router 192.168.0.35 to reach the 10.0.35.0 network (netmask 255.255.255.0). Using the 'ip route' syntax, the entry in route-eth0 might read 10.0.35.0/24 via 192.168.0.35 or ADDRESS0=10.0.35.0 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY0=192.168.0.35 which the script converts into the first version and feeds to /sbin/ip to set the route. -- Steve Bonneville
