Centos Static Routes

Posted by: dave in tech

I’m an Ubuntu Linux guy, which, when it comes to config files, is to say I’m a Debian guy. Red Hat, and its derivatives, feel pretty foreign to me.

While throwing a Centos box together, I had a need for static routes since there are two nics in the box.

Google.
Google.
Google.

Found it. Documenting here so I don’t have to search again.

For each device, (say eth0) create the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0

And the contents should be something like:

10.0.1.0/24 via 192.168.2.4 dev eth0

10.0.4.0/24 via 192.168.2.2 dev eth0

Yea well, the way RH does things has never made any sense to me. Thanks, this helped a lot. I don’t think you need the explicit “dev eth0″ bit, but it’s probably safer to have it there explicitly.
