After booting, the "up route ..." line is not run, as evidenced by "netstat -r" not showing the route specified. However, running "/etc/init.d/networking stop" followed by "/etc/init.d/networking start" after boot runs the "up route ..." line. Race condition of some sort, perhaps, at boot time?
** Description changed: Binary package hint: ifupdown As I understand it, the proper way to introduce a non-default route at boot time is to add a "up route add -net ..." line to the network interface in question to the /etc/network/interfaces file in the interface stanza, like so: iface eth0 inet static address 10.1.1.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.1.1.0 broadcast 10.1.1.255 gateway 10.1.1.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 192.168.1.50 dns-search example.com up route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.1.1.2 However, the "up route" line doesn't get executed. As a separate but related issue, there's no way using System->Administration->Network to add a non-default route either. That - would be a nice RFQ. + would be a nice idea for an enhancement. -- adding non-default route in /etc/network/interfaces doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
