If Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris with nwam disabled, then either of the two

The route command has a -p option that makes static routes persist across system reboots, rendering /etc/defaultrouter obsolete. See route(1M).

That's true (depending on OS - S9 and S10fcs do not have it, later S10 and OpenSolaris do) and I always forget about it until somebody points it out to me (again!).


For method #1, use "svcadm restart network/physical:default" in place of
your /etc/init.d/network command.

Restarting network/physical:default will have weird side-effects, as it's not designed to be restarted (it has no stop method).

Fair enough. It's always worked for me, but then this is on lab systems with relatively simple networking configs, and nothing later than Solaris 10.
