Defaultrouter not changing !!
Hi experts

I have to change the default router of some system

I tried changing by deleing the existing route by following line

#route delete default 172.24.2.101

then I added executed the below line to add the new router

#route add default 172.24.1.254



as per the above line the file /etc/defaultroute should be changed and it should show me the latest route ip which is 172.24.1.254 however still its showing me the ip 172.24.1.101 .

Please suggest as what could be reason .

Depends on the OS. What system are you on? On some platforms you would change the file /etc/defaultroute rather than vice versa.

I can use the system from telnet . do you think we need manual change to /etc/defaultrouter file

if you do not set /etc/defaultrouter you will lose your default route on next reboot.
