Network Configuration
Giving '$INTIF' a gateway
In some installations, AstLinux will not be your LAN's gateway, and AstLinux itself might have to use that gateway to reach a particular subnet (common in VPN situations). To configure this, edit /mnt/kd/rc.elocal
(or create it if not yet present and make it executeable), and add the following to it:
ip route add to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx via yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy dev ethz
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx
is the remote subnet which can be reached via the gatewayyyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
is the IP address of the gatewayethz
is the NIC attached to the same subnet as the gateway
rc.elocal
is simply a start-up script which runs directly after the network startup script.
