| |
Using /sbin/route, I can add multiple default routes like so:
/sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 /sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.0.2
But I cannot do the same with /sbin/ip:
/sbin/ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 /sbin/ip route add default via 192.168.0.2 RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Given that /sbin/ip is the more powerful and modern tool, I'm lead to believe that /sbin/route might be leaving the in kernel routing table in a weird state.
My two simple questions are as follows:
1) Which tool is more correct?
2) What is the behavior of the kernel when multiple default routes are defined?
Thanks,
davez
