Description of problem: ======================= On a new system, with ifcfg files generated by (?) anaconda: "PEERROUTES" can be found in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1" That keyword does not seem to be relevant anymore. In particular: grep -R PEERROUTES /etc 2>/dev/null yields no hits. The same for "IPV6_PEERROUTES" which can also be found in the ifcfg file. Could be these things are read by some binary but I sure hope no-one went down that path.
Related; "USERCTL" which is created by manually running "system-config-network" but was never implemented (see #969612)
We did not have PEERROUTES in initscripts ever.
The ifcfg file (and the PEERROUTES option) is generated by NetworkManager's ifcfg-rh plugin. What is the problem with the value being in?
Hi Radek There is no problem per se. It just seems that if it is not used anywhere (which needs confirmation - does NM use it?), code to generate it should be removed, too.
It is used for ignore-auto-routes NM setting https://projects-old.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/api/09/ref-settings.html#idp5073608
