Rhel routes file

Packets to unknown, remote, networks will use the default gateway therefore static routes should only be configured for remote networks or hosts if the default route is not suitable. Remote in this context means any networks or hosts that are not directly attached to the system. Specifying an exit interface is optional. It can be useful if you want to force traffic out of a specific interface. For example, in the case of a VPN, you can force traffic to a remote network to pass through a tun0 interface even when the interface is in a different subnet to the destination network.

The ip route format can be used to specify a source address. For example: To define an existing policy-based routing configuration, which specifies multiple routing tables, see Section 4. If the default gateway is already assigned by DHCP and if the same gateway with the same metric is specified in a configuration file, an error during start-up, or when bringing up an interface, will occur. This error may be ignored.

Subsequent static routes must be numbered sequentially, and must not skip any values. By default, forwarding packets from one interface to another, or out of the same interface, is disabled for security reasons. Each line is parsed as an individual route:.

The address It is preferably the next hop address but the address of the exit interface will work. The dev option can be used to specify the exit interface interface but it is not required. Add as many static routes as required. The following is an example of a route- interface file using the ip command arguments format.
