Add your route in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and at every reboot it will be reloaded.

To make permanent routing then use,

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf file

Other changes with on routing will be in effect using route / ifconfig upto reboot / shutdown there.

In /etc/rc.config.d/netconf copy the the entries for your default router, update array index and add the needed entry as
net IP.ADDR.XX.XX
or
host IP.ADDR.YY.YY

in the ROUTE_DESTINATION entry

Hi,

I agree with all above

Aslo Try this Document :

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000063200509

The document says this way:

To add a permanent default route entry:
1. Add the route entry in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[1]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]=ip_address
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""
2. reboot system for changes to take effect
3. netstat -rn shows permanent entry

Regards,

Hi,
I always do it with ...

# set_parms addl_netwrk

It's menu driven and safe..
