Can NetworkManager disable default gateway when creating interfaces?
Issue
- We note that by default all new connections are created with
ipv4.never-default no
(DEFROUTE=yes
). - This means that
NetworkManager
will move the default route to other interfaces created later causing the actual gateway of the host to be unreachable which is undesireable. - Is there a way to make connections default to
ipv4.never-default yes
(DEFROUTE=no
) for all new connections created so forth withNetworkManager
? - Is it possible to configure or change the
NetworkManager
default connection settings?
