How to make IPv6 static routes persistent on CentOS?

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Static routes are forgotten once the network service is restarted. However, IPv4 static routes can be made persistent by adding them to /etc/sysconfig/static_routes. This file is read by the network service when (re)starting and the static routes are added to the routing table. This is the relevant code from /etc/init.d/network # Add non interface-specific static-routes. if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then grep "^any" /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read ignore args ; do /sbin/route add -$args done fi However, no such file seems to exist for IPv6 static routes (HowTos)

Hi,

I am configuring ipv6 static route by using netlink socket. Its configuring in linux and displayed when I am using netstat command. But static routes are not displaying by using "ip -6 route" command. I am using fedora 14-2.6.35.

I have updated iproute2-2.6.37, even static routes are not displaying.

It's seems like in opensuse 11.3 dhclient supports static routes via dhcp.

my isp doesn't provides routes for linux, only for windows. So i changed config from

Code: option rfc3442-classless-static-routes_raw code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8; to

Topology:

C1 --192.168.111.0/24 -- R1 -- 172.30.0.0/24 -- Switch -- C6 |-- R2 -- 172.30.10.0/23 -- C5

I am a newbie in networking and I have a question about routing through subnets.

I want to ping computer C5 from computer C1 (see below).

IPv6 static routes 24 weeks 2 days ago

I am looking to configure a few hosts with IPv6 on my network. The router (running CentOS 5) is configured with an Hurricane Electric (HE) tunnel which works fine on that host.

However, I would like to statically add a few additional hosts on the same LAN to have IPv6 through this tunnel.

This is very much a learning question if someone would be happy to explain a couple of concepts.

Hello, I have setup a dhcpd server on my lan with the following option to reflect the static route to my private LAN.

dhcpd.conf

hi all which file contains all the routes/routing table of the machine.... although i can edit routes by command line, like route add/del commands,, still how i can do it by editing the file which contans all the routes of system...what is that file name,, where placed?? i hope i can simply edit it in vim,, or is there something important to keep in mind while editing this file????

I have a xen domU that keeps forgetting the routes learned after interface startup; for a while everything is ok but eventually the two default routes (a couple link-local addresses of the upstream routers) expire and the machine drops off IPv6 based networks.

I'm puzzled as to what could the problem be; obviously the router is answering the first discovery, but why is is failing to refresh or re

I'm struggling to understand how to add the route options to my routes file in rhel.
