I have dropped debian-de...@lists.debian.org. I have added debian-user@lists.debian.org.
In previous emails, Maximilian complaned that Debian 9 had no 'route' command. Having been advised to use 'ip route', he has offered this snippet from this interfaces file for discussion.

If you're going to use post-up and pre-down, then they need to be more like (untested) the following, using 'ip route': post-up ip route add A.B.C.D dev ens18 post-up ip route add default via A.B.C.D pre-down ip route del default via A.B.C.D pre-down ip route del A.B.C.D dev ens18 More importantly, why are you using post-up and pre-down directives to add default routing? Is there a reason why your netmask is 255.255.255.255? Assuming that you're on a /24 subnet (meaning, the netmask is 255.255.255.0), then try something like this, instead: auto ens18 iface ens18 inet static address IP.V4.ADDR.ESS netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway ROOTER.IPV4.ADDR.ESS -- Luca Filipozzi
