I have been through all the router stuff
Its a known thing that if you overload a router specified port, which I will resist typing it will crash or force a reboot. I tested this out with 4 different types and different class routers. Happened each time. I get the feeling of a virus, or something running on the box that I never authorized.

If you really want the numbers for the command:
route add default 192.168.212.1

Nothing specific just routed everything to the router.
This machine is supposed to be only running Raid Managers and Oracle Databases, which is what I see in the poled system. Nothing looks out of the ordinary.
