Help needed with adding a static route to the LDMG ISO 8.7
Makke Jul 2, 2008 3:46 AMHello,
I need help with adding a static route to my LDMG 8.7 ISO installation.
I read the how-to on this forum, but the outcome isn't what I wanted to be. Our network administrator gave me the command to add the appropriate route:
route add –net 0.0.0.0 gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
When I give the "route" command I get this (second line):
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
172.28.0.0 * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Now I try to edit the /etc/init.d/network file. The how-to says to add a line in the "Start" section. I don't seem to find the right "Start" setting. Which one do I need?
I have a "# Start all network interfaces" which has a ;;-line.
I have a "$ start" at the end of the file which has a ;;-line.
Furthermore, the syntax in the example in the how-to is "ip route add 10.10.10.0/24 dev eth0 via 192.168.0.1". Taking the command line I got from my network admin, is this the right syntax for to suite my needs? If so, which IP goes where?
Sorry about these questions, but my Linux knowledge is limited and I'm expected to get this to work.
Thanks in advance.
Mark
