adding route creating issues in RHEL

Hi All,

I have 4 nics and on 4th nic eth3 i have diffrent vlan on diff gateway.

problem is coming when i am enabling this nic eth3 - whenevr i am doing service network restart sometime it hangs on eth3

and some able to sucess but behaving strange - like ssh login issues or traffic in and out issues.

can you please help the best procedure to use for adding new route on eth3 on rhel 6.
also any recommedned method to troubleshoot it?

This is a very vague question and it is hard to help with a complicated setup like this without more information.

By default outgoing traffic will leave by the default gateway. So if the DG is on eth1 and you SSH to the eth3 interface IP address, chances are it fails because the return traffic is leaving out the other interface.

Without knowing what interfaces are used for what services or purposes it is almost impossible to make a recommendation without possibly breaking something else.

paste below outputs

#netstar -nltpr

#cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth3

#cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth3

USERCTL=no
IPADDR=10.1.200.104
NETMASK=255.255.255.192
GATEWAY=10.1.200.126

now when i enable this nic means BOOT=yes - default route used to change to eth3 i dont know how.

and i think thats why its behaving abnormal.

please advice how to fix default gateway also.
