FAQ: static routes after restart/reboot in Fedora/RedHat/CentOS

route 66Static routing is the term used to refer to the manual method used to set up routing. An administrator enters routes into the router using configuration commands. This method has the advantage of being predictable, and simple to set up. It is easy to manage in small networks but does not scale well.

Question: How can I save static routes I set up in my Fedora/RedHat/CentOS Linux after I reboot server?

Answer: In Fedora Linux (or RedHat, CentOS) you can set up static routes for certain network interface (for example eth1) by editing file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1.

For example, you have to save static route added by the following command:

route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.100.1 dev eth1

To do it, just add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1:

ADDRESS0=192.168.0.0
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
GATE
WAY0=192.168.100.1

The single most dramatic improvement in ext4 is in file and file system size. Thus, the users who are most likely to need ext4 are those who have more than a few terabytes of disk space. The list of features in Table 1, though, may present some other tempting improvements.
