4.2. Configuring Static Routes Using nmcli
To configure static routes using the nmcli tool, use one of the following:
- the nmcli command line
- the nmcli interactive editor
Example 4.1. Configuring Static Routes Using nmcli
To configure a static route for an existing Ethernet connection using the command line:
~]# nmcli connection modify eth0 +ipv4.routes "192.168.122.0/24 10.10.10.1"
This will direct traffic for the 192.168.122.0/24 subnet to the gateway at 10.10.10.1
Example 4.2. Configuring Static Routes with nmcli Editor
To configure a static route for an Ethernet connection using the interactive editor:
~]$ nmcli con edit type ethernet con-name ens3
===| nmcli interactive connection editor |===
Adding a new '802-3-ethernet' connection
Type 'help' or '?' for available commands.
Type 'describe [>setting<.>prop<]' for detailed property description.
You may edit the following settings: connection, 802-3-ethernet (ethernet), 802-1x, ipv4, ipv6, dcb
nmcli> set ipv4.routes 192.168.122.0/24 10.10.10.1
nmcli>
nmcli> save persistent
Saving the connection with 'autoconnect=yes'. That might result in an immediate activation of the connection.
Do you still want to save? [yes] yes
Connection 'ens3' (704a5666-8cbd-4d89-b5f9-fa65a3dbc916) successfully saved.
