route add

[Wilfred Chau_1]

To add gateway to a route for a particular interface.

Should I use the GATEWAY key word in ifcfg- or create a new route- file?

Which one is the "latest" method?

If you are wanting a system-wide default route on a RH/Fedora system, use 'GATEWAY=' in '/etc/sysconfig/network'.

Using a 'GATEWAY=' in a particular interface file will still work, but may produce unexpected results if you have multiple interfaces.

If you want to set up specific static routes, then there is something different to be done.

Actually this is for a bond interface.

is creating a route-bond0 a old way of adding a gateway? or should I add a GATEWAY line in ifcfg-bond0?

My above comment still stands as far as I'm aware..

One default gateway as stuart mentioned will be fine.I am not sure why you need a separate gateay for a particular interface.Either way the data will reach the destination. But specifying gawateway on the the specific interface's configuration file is not a standard approach.
