change default gateway, check static routes
Posted on 2010-11-20
I'm running a few versions (from the last few years) of CentOS. I want to check and adjust if necessary my default gateways. I have root access via ssh from the same subnet, so i won't lose connection if i bungle the default gateway. I know enough to check ifconfig, but that tells me everything except the default gateway.
How would I check for static routes? I'm familiar with windows route print command. I may need to delete a route.
Assume I'm very clumsy with linux.

ROUTE tells me exactly what I need.
How do I change default gateway? How do I delete a static route?

OK, I went to /etc/sysconfig/ and did a
emacs network
http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles/12.html was helpful saving my default route change.
route shows the old gateway. Do I need to reboot? Other way to restart eth0 without losing my SSH connection ability?
Then how do I delete a static route? I don't see a line to make it persistent in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
So just use this example?
route del -host 10.10.0.5 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 10.2.0.1 eth0

Actually there is one machine that is being stubborn and I can't get it to take a new gateway. tty2, your commands work, and give a new gateway. However, if I /etc/init.d/network restart then it reverts to the old gateway :(
I want the gateway to be 192.168.0.1. It keeps reverting to 192.168.0.3.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
Admin, I tried closing this too soon. Can you reset to to open please, and cancel the point distribution?

How do you define your IP address?
Something overwrites you settings.
1. If you receive IP address from DHCP server, look at configs on this server.
2. If you define IP address manually, try to find in which script default gateway is overwritten. Say,
grep -R 192.168.0.3 /etc/*

Unsure how df was originally defined, but it could have been in a gui. certainly not DHCP. my grep was still running 24 later so i canceled it. I'm going to try some of these tomorrow: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-centos-fedoracore-linux-network-card-configuration/

GUI is evil. Better use "Method #3: Edit configuration files stored in /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
/etc/init.d/network is a bash script, and you can check step by step what is playing when you run it.
