To set a defaultroute, you need a direct route (without a gateway) covering the gateway first. This direct route is usually set automatically when IP address is applied, that is: ifcfg-eth0: STARTMODE=auto BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.1/24 ifroute-eth0 or routes: default 192.168.1.254 - eth0 -> works, as 192.168.1.254 is in the 192.168.1.1/24 network. In contrast to this, this setup will not work: ifcfg-eth0: STARTMODE=auto BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.1/32 ifroute-eth0 or routes: default 192.168.1.254 - eth0 because there is no direct route covering the gateway. To get it running, you have to declare explicitly, that the gateway is directly connected to the interface, that is: ifroute-eth0 or routes: 192.168.1.254/23 - - eth0 default 192.168.1.254 - eth0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
