Hi

#route add default gateway

to make this permanent open /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and make these entries

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=""
ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

[Geoff Wild]

Yes - in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf:

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""


Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is ip of gateway.

set_parms will do it as well - do a man set_parms for mor info.

Amit,

1. To add the route to the running system:
route add default 1

2. To make it permanent:
# vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
(modify the following with your information)

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

Note: If these are already populated with some route that you need to keep, just add a new set. (e.g. ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]=, etc.)
