Issue

I'm remotely helping someone fix their eth0 routes. From looking at ifup-routes, it looks like the syntax for 'static-routes' should be:

eth0 net netIP gw hostIP netmask 255.255.255.248 metric 0
eth0 default gw gwIP metric 1

I would appreciate it someone could email/post an example. Thanks.

PS, The above example is supposed to be two lines each beginning with 'eth0'--using preview mode submitting this, I can't seem to get the formatting right.

Response

Try something like this:

 eth0 net 130.225.204.48 netmask 255.255.255.248 gw 130.225.204.49
eth1 net 192.38.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 gw 192.38.8.129
eth1 net 192.38.8.32 netmask 255.255.255.248 gw 192.38.8.129

Or easier - try one of the conf tools...

cheers,
Morten
