Set a default routing gateway

Question & Answer


Question

How do I set a default routing gateway for my NPS server?

Answer

To add or change the gateway, run the following command as the root user:

route add default gw 192.168.0.1

To make the assignment permanent, as root user, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network by changing or adding the following line:

GATEWAY=192.168.0.1


You can confirm the change by running one of the following commands:

  • /sbin/route
  • /bin/netstat -rn

The following is sample output:

$ /sbin/route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination  Gateway      Genmask         Flags Metric Ref   Use Iface
192.168.0.0  *            255.255.255.0   U     0      0     0   eth0
10.0.0.0     *            255.255.0.0     U     0      0     0   eth1
default      192.168.0.1  0.0.0.0         UG    0      0     0   eth0
