file for routing changes

Greetings!

I need to add the following gateway to my machine:

route add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.32

Where/how do I store it so it comes back after a reboot?

here's my: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.1.129
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
TYPE=Ethernet
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

#############################

Is is supposed to go in there somewhere?
I'm not trying to change my DEFAULT gateway, just add one.

thanks!

This depends on the distribution you're using.

With Debian, the place is /etc/network/interfaces.

Well, please have a look at /etc/sysconfig/network .... and edit the
gw.

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=yourhostname
FORWARD_IPV4=true
GATEWAY=192.168.100.32

Hope this helps.

That's the fifth updated kernel to RH-9 (2.4.20-43.9.legacy seems to
be current for that release - download.fedoralegacy.org).

For RH8+, add a file to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. The file should be
called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 and its contents should be
as such:

192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.100.32

That's assuming the interface is eth0 - adjust as needed.

You missed the line where he said:

>> I'm not trying to change my DEFAULT gateway, just add one.

The "GATEWAY" variable effects the default gateway only. He wants to
add another gateway, like

[example ~]$ /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 95017 eth0
192.168.2.0 192.168.100.32 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 11695 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 420 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.100.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 2004 eth0

In this case, 192.168.1.248 does not lead to 192.168.2.0, and if I were
to use your method, I would end up with

192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 95017 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 420 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.100.32 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 2004 eth0

which isn't going to work, because the Internet is not in that direction.
