Greetings;
I have been playing the 10k monkeys scene trying to figure out how to add
a gateway entry to the route -n report on a rock64 with a stretch/xfce
install on it.
Where does this assignment belong in a static defined eth0 configuration?
I know several places where it doesn't work, but what I need to know is
where do I put, in what file, the "gateway = www.xxx.yyy.zzz" and make
it just work for a stretch install on a rock64. Thats an arm64 family
card.
All I have been able to get out of route is the gibberishy help when
there is a syntax error.
The obvious (to me that is) place would be
in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0, which has this:
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.71.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.71.1
dns-nameserver 192.168.71.1
Start off with ifconfig -a to check your interface names, if you've got
eth1 rather than eth0 look in something like /etc/udev/rules.d/70*.
Working in /etc/network/interfaces, simplify your config to something like
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.71.2/24
gateway 192.168.71.1
dns-nameserver 192.168.71.1
post-up echo ifup > /tmp/eth0
Note that for the dns-nameserver to work you'll need the resolvconf package.
Look for /tmp/eth0 which should contain a message telling you that the
"post-up" ran. If it's not there find what's going wrong, there's a file
which in principle tells NetworkManager to never under any circumstances
touch an interface but TBH I've yet to find a circumstance in which NM
is less trouble than it's worth and very often I just tell systemd not
to run it.
