Add Persistant Route

Hello,

I want SuSE to automatically remember some routes I always have to feed it when it restarts. How do I do that?

example:
route add -net 134.135.2.0 gw 136.131.1.22 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0


In MS DOS I can just "route add -p" for persistant. man route didn't help much (I loathe man pages - the way they are written is overly geeky and 87% of the time I haven't got a clue what they're on about. And they are so DULL to read).

Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Yast -> Network Devices -> Network card -> Edit -> Routing

You can also edit /etc/sysconfig/network/routes if you prefer the CLI.

in the 'routes' file, do I just add:

136.132.1.0 gw 136.130.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0

or anything more than that?

No, it has to be in the format expected by YaST. Use YaST if you are not sure.

i've changed my /etc/sysconfig/network/routes in opensuse 10.2 like this:

172.16.100.0 172.16.4.252 255.255.255.0 eth0

but, i'm using DHCP on my opensuse.

everytime i restart the network device via knetwork manager, i still can't see additional routing in my linux.
is that any workarround to route add with dhcp client on?
