Description Red Hat Bugzilla 2000-08-22 18:45:25 UTC 
I have a machine with 2 NICs. The default gateway is on eth1.
If I put

GATEWAY=10.1.0.1

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1, I got

# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
10.3.1.0        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
eth0
10.1.0.0        *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0
eth1
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         gateway         0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
eth1
default         gateway         0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0
eth1

If I put

GATEWAY=10.1.0.1

in /etc/sysconfig/network. I got

# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
10.3.1.0        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
eth0
10.1.0.0        *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0
eth1
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo

Comment 1 Red Hat Bugzilla 2000-08-23 15:20:24 UTC 
Bill:

this is in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup:

    # this is broken! it's only here for compatibility with old RH systems
    if [ "${GATEWAY}" != "" -a "${GATEWAY}" != "none" ]; then
        route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 ${DEVICE}
    fi

Should it still be there?  I think this is the root of the problem.
Comment 2 Red Hat Bugzilla 2001-01-30 00:28:21 UTC 
This will be fixed in 5.60-1.
