Hi all,
I draw my configuration of ethernetcards:
PC (eth0 10.0.0.1)-->3com switch-->speedtouch(10.0.0.138)-->theNet
PC (eth1 192.168.1.10)-->FSG (192.168.1.1)-->speedtouch(10.0.0.138)
Now Fedora default creates the following route:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default FSG.lan 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
If it does, I have no internet connection. Then I have to enter the
following incantation to get internet connection:
route add default gw 10.0.0.138
route del default gw 192.168.1.1 (this one is optional??)
After which the default route goes over the speedtouch in stead of the
FSG and I *do* have internet connection.
However, when I restart Fedora, I have to enter these commands again.
The question is now: how do I get Fedora to remember that I want the
default route over 10.0.0.138 (or eth0) and not over 192.168.1.1 (or eth1)?
P.S. i read in an old book from 1995 by Matt Welsh and Lar Kaufman
(Running Linux) that the metric can be used to have the system choose
predictably (lower metric is more preferred), but I can seem to find
this parameter in the fedora GUI tools....
P.S. 2. The FSG is the Freecom Storage Gateway: a network device with
storage. Regrettably it is not a switch....
Anyone an idea how to get Fedora to set the default route correctly
(i.e. as I want it)?
Guus.
