From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When using the redhat-config-network gui, the files creates route files with the nickname (vs ethX). However, ifup-routes relies on the ethX name to find the interface routes. As a result interface specific static routes will not be read on boot. For example: My system has eth1 nicknamed InternalInterface. Interface specific routes are listed in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/InternalInterface.routes. ifup-routes looks for eth1.routes and doesn't see InternalInterface.routes. This is especially troublesome if you create an interface with static routes then nickname the interface. Static routes will always be set to the initial ones no matter how much you try to change them with the GUI due to the fact that the new route table config isn't loaded Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new ethernet interface 2. Give the interface a nickname 3. Set some static routes on the interface 4. Reboot 5. Check routes with route command Actual Results: Interface specific static routes will not appear in the route table Expected Results: Interface spedific routes will appear in the route table Additional info: Copying the /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/nickname.route file to /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ethX.route will work as a workaround.
