I know how to use 'ip' to set up a static route, e.g.:
ip route add 192.168.128.0/17 via 40.53.24.3 dev eth0
But if you reboot or restart network, you loose this. Thus you have to make it persistant. I found:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/configuring-static-routes-in-debian-or-red-hat...
where it says to add to ifcfg-eth0:
192.168.128.0/17 via 40.53.24.3
But this did not work after the interface was restarted. So what is the proper to set up persistant static routes?
Are you using NetworkManager? I think you have to specifically remove it although I am not quite sure when RH made it the default (nor am I sure if it would override routes, but it frequently seems to cause issues.)
Also, the article doesn't say add the lineifcfg-eth0. The article says add it to route-eth0. Was that just a typo on your part?
