Linux – route add in rhel with src option

linuxroute

I'm struggling to understand how to add the route options to my routes file in rhel. Let's say I have the route:

ip route:

192.168.89.0/24 via 192.53.28.193 dev eth0  src 192.53.28.216

How can I store that in my static file with the src option?

Currently I am editing the file and am placing the following:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0:

ADDRESS0=192.168.89.0
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY0=192.53.28.193

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Dan

The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 or the route-interface file has two formats. The one you specified is just one of the two, and the other one uses the IP command arguments. So you might trying replacing the contents of that file with -

192.168.89.0/24 via 192.53.28.193 dev eth0  src 192.53.28.216

Which is the same as the ip route command you posted.

A quick test:

Control Panel -> Windows Firewall (under System and Security, if you do that sort of thing). In the left pane, click 'Turn Windows Firewall On/Off', then turn off the Firewall in the right pane.

If you can ping it then, great... you can turn it back on, and allow ping by using the directions at http://www.sysprobs.com/enable-ping-reply-windows-7.

If that doesn't work, another quick test would be to shutdown iptables, just for troubleshooting purposes, of course. Even if you don't remember messing with it, it's worth testing...

sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop

Linux – Specifying source IP address for a host route

This should work. It is using ip(8) syntax instead of route(8), but else equivalent. The route to 192.168.60.151 must be set on the second interface definition, or else the src address is not yet set and the command fails.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.60.23
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.60.1
    # The next line should not be necessary, the target is on the same subnet and link
    # up ip route add 192.168.60.1 dev eth0
    up ip route add 10.0.1.1 dev eth0

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
    address 192.168.60.101
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    # ip(8) uses 'via' instead of 'gw'
    up ip route add 192.168.60.151 via 10.0.1.1 src 192.168.60.101
