default gateway ip in suse 10

[Maaz]

how to provide the default gateway ip in suse ?
In /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0-mac-ad, I add the following line

GATEWAY=`ip.of.default.gateway`
but it doesnt work.

I have succesfuly configured the default gateway ip by using YasT... but i wana know that how to do it manually(which file)...?

It's actually done in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes. The default route entry looks like this on one of our systems:

default 10.1.1.30 - -

See the routes(5) man page.
