Re: route goes on reboot ?

Hello David Smead <smead@amplepower.com>,

BTW, if I have multiple routing table, where can I define so that it
will work upon reboot?
To set 'special' routing instructions use the 'up', 'down', 'pre-uo' and 'post-down' options in /etc/networks/interfaces.
I've found them very useful to set up strange routing between two firewalls each with 3 nics, so as to allow privilged access to a server farm, and to make a simulation of a IP tunnel across a WAN link. 

see
man 5 interfaces

Hope this helps

Put the info in /etc/network/interfaces.  Mine looks like:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.8.30
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.8.0
       broadcast 192.168.8.255
       gateway 192.168.8.254

Technically you don't need all the fields but I put them all in as a
reminder.

Hi,
In my current configuration , I have to do an
ifconfig eth0 IP addr and route commands everytime I reboot.
The problem is on reboot, all these settings "vanish" and I have to give these commands again.

I sort of know that these have to be put in some /etc/rc**
but am not sure which file do I have to put these files and if they should be put early in the booting procedure or in the last will do.

Thanks
Kapil
