You have to add the route to /etc/rc.config.d/netconf in order for it to come up when you reboot.

Here is the route section from one of my machines for the default route:

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=170.7.2.221
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

You need to edit /etc/rc.config/netconf to make it permanent. The section you would modify would be ..
..
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]=default
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]=123.22.22.22
ROUTE_COUNT[0]=1
..
I'm not sure what's 1500 for in your command syntax. If that is meant to be the route count then it's set to 1 or 0 (1 means gateway is remote and 0 means the gateway is the local system).

All the above good stuff. But unless you do a re-boot (which is when this is applied) it will not immidiately be applied. so

/sbin/init.d/net start

Will apply the above (or route add ...)

just mu 0.02???

Hi Juan,

be carefull with the "/sbin/init.d/net start" command, as it does NOT delete or flush the existing routes - that you'll have to do yourself before.
Well, only in case you have wrong routes setup, of course.

FWIW,
