Bash append values if keywords are present in the file

Hi Team,

i have a web ui where user will be passing values and the output will be saved to a file say test with the following contents .

These below mentioned values will change according to the user_input

Just gave here one example

Contents of file test is given below

Code:
Gateway oe:value 3.3.3.3
Hostname oe:value test.test.com
IP_Address oe:value 5.5.5.5
Netmask oe:value 255.255.254.0
Primary_DNS oe:value 1.1.1.1
Secondary_DNS oe:value 2.2.2.2

in this example there are six keywors present (Gateway, Hostname, IP_Address,Netmask,Primary_DNS,Seconday_DNS). sometimes user may fill only 4 fileds then there will be only four keywords.

what i am looking for is, if the keyword Gateway is present in the file test, append its corresponding value with the keyword (here Gateway=3.3.3.3) to test1. Hostname is present, it should appned the value hostname=test.test.com to test2. Like that for all the keywords.

Expected output of test1 as per this example
Code:
 Gateway=3.3.3.3

Expected output of test2
Code:
 hostname=test.test.com

Expected output of test3
Code:
 IPADDR=5.5.5.5

Expected output of test4
Code:
 Netmask=255.255.254.0

Expected output of test5
Code:
 DNS1=1.1.1.1

Expected output of test6
Code:
 DNS2=2.2.2.2

Kindly help
