 Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 4:16 pm Post subject: Configuring Route Precedence |
 |
|
I have three network interfaces that I use and I want the route precedence to be as such:
1. ppp0
2. wlan0
3. eth0
Is there a way to set this up? |

You give the most preferred route a lower metric and the least preferred route a high metric.
Like so in /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | metric_ppp0=0
metric_wlan0=2000
metric_eth0=5000 |
baselayout will automatically assign metrics based on connection type anyway, these are the defaults that affect you
normal 0
wireless + 2000
Actually, I lie about metric_ppp0 - it will only be used for routes added by baselayout. To get ppp to be the most preferred route, simply give metrics of at least 1 to all other routes
