Re: missing gw in route -n

[Alan Corey <alan01346@gmail.com>]

Yeah, I wasn't saying anything because I couldn't remember. I think Debian puts it there. Try the interfaces man page.

There's also a route command. Maybe iproute too.  Something like

route add 192.168.43.1 gw

(or gateway or default instead of gw).

On a command line. There's a routing table, and a way to show what's in it and clear it. See the route man page.

DHCP takes care of that so I forgot. I used to have to change my laptop over everytime I took it somewhere with DHCP and change it back when I got home. But that was OpenBSD too.  And 10 years ago.

Just interfaces should work, that's what I use. It checks both.

In /etc/network/interfaces you need an uncommented line like

# source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

$ ifconfig

might tell you that the interface's name has been changed to something
different.

Maybe the network-manager is active?
