Solved How to add persistent static route across reboot?

[TECH198]

Running 3CX (Debian), helping out someone adding static route..

However i've added add route to /etc/networtk/iterfaces under Debian 10, but also, for various unknown reasons i'm not sure understanding yet, you must also add route manually as well to command line.... Not sure the reason this manual route add line is needed as well (unless its just to check currently). but then stoping network services init.d then rebooting and listing routing table: route or route /rn the static route is gone.



route -p (Windows equivalent) or some other persistent would be helpful.

Specially targeting Debian 10, nor any other version, as syntax is different.

Hi!

I haven't tried it in a while, but we have a guide for a specific SIP Trunk provider where this is required. You can check the guide here and specifically the section talking about setting up Static Routes.:

Hi @TECH198,

Just chiming in, if the above suggestion doesn't work: This is more of a Debian question which may be better to post on a Debian forum, I'd suggest not making any changes to anything that would affect the 3CX default setup.

Edit /etc/network/interfaces file and add your permanent routes.

Example:

auto ens192
allow-hotplug ens192
iface ens192 inet static
address 192.168.221.54/24
gateway 192.168.221.1
dns-nameservers 82.99.137.41 212.158.133.41
up ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.221.1 dev ens192
up ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.221.1 dev ens192

Last step is restart network:

~] /etc/init.d/networking restart
# or
~] systemctl restart networking

Neither worked.

It works, you are doing something wrong.

your right, i was doing something wrong..solved... The problem was i needed to have two gateways.

Both NICs, (one of them with static route), cannot go out primary gateway as well.

Glad you got it figured out.
