 |
|
I'm trying to set up an ifconfig_fallback for times when dhcp might not be available. I've read https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=163212 and that was very helpful, but I was wondering how to set up a fallback gateway? This is my /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | ## dhcp
ifconfig_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-d -t 10"
ifconfig_fallback_eth0=( "192.168.0.100 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) |
From looking through /etc/init.d/net.eth0 it appears that if I set
| Code: | | routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.0.1" ) |
then that gateway would always be used for eth0, even if dhcpcd set up another gateway already. Is there a way to specify a fallback gateway?
Thanks,
-Nat |

At present we don't support that 
It is in my todo list though 
However, you can just add routes to the routes_eth0 variable - if they error the interface still comes up correctly. |
