Hello Guys..
I am facing this weird problem of static route not added after reboot!!
Following is my route-<interface> file..
[root@SERVER ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0
ADDRESS0=172.31.0.1
NETMASK0=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY0=192.168.208.1
ADDRESS1=172.31.15.2
NETMASK1=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY1=192.168.208.1
ADDRESS2=172.31.0.41
NETMASK2=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY2=192.168.208.1
ADDRESS2=10.27.2.111
NETMASK2=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY2=192.168.208.1
ADDRESS3=10.27.2.112
NETMASK3=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY3=192.168.208.1
[root@SERVER ~]#
after the server was rebooted, following was the routing table...
[root@SERVER ~]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table

0.0.0.0 10.2.4.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
[root@SERVER ~]#
As can be seen in output of route command, following route is not added after reboot!!
ADDRESS2=172.31.0.41
NETMASK2=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY2=192.168.208.1
I had to add it manually.. What could be the reason of this static route not being added after reboot?
OOOopsss.. I wonder why I didn't notice it!!!
