Add a route in /etc/conf.d/net

[flickerfly]

I currently add my routes in /etc/conf.d/localstart but this doesn't work well when I take my NIC down without shutting it down. I assume that I could put it in /etc/conf.d/net with the right syntax. Anyone know? I can't seem to dig up documentation on it.

I think you need the latest baselayout (unstable) then the instructions are in the file.

You can add routes with baselayout-1.9.x and better

Thanks!

Is this the 'right' way to add routes?

I have the following routes at the end of /etc/conf.d/local.start

route add -net 192.168.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1
route add -net 10.70.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1
route add -net 10.70.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1

Problem i see with this is if I mess with the networking, these routes don't get changed/removed. Plus whatever other issues I'm not even aware of.

What's the 'right' way to do something like this?

Thanks!

hm. nope.

/etc/conf.d/net:

bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/conf.d/net
iface_eth0="192.168.11.185 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.11.255"
iface_eth1="192.168.0.185 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
iface_eth2="10.70.1.185 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.70.1.255"
gateway="eth1/192.168.0.1"
routes_eth2=( "192.168.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1"
"10.70.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1"
"10.70.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1" )

bash-2.05b$ /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.70.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.11.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

EDIT:

here's the way it was:

/etc/conf.d/local.start:

bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/conf.d/local.start
# /etc/conf.d/local.start:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/local.start,v 1.4 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $

# This is a good place to load any misc.
# programs on startup ( 1>&2 )

route add -net 192.168.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1
route add -net 10.70.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1
route add -net 10.70.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.70.1.1

bash-2.05b$ /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.70.4.0 10.70.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2
10.70.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
10.70.3.0 10.70.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.11.0 10.70.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2
192.168.11.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

This works, altho looking at it I see a problem with the 192.168.11.0 subnet...
