[ale] RHEL Questions

[Michael Trausch]

Indeed that is correct. The 'ip' tool is an excellent management utility and
for anyone doing anything with networking is highly recommended learning.
The things that it can do compared to route and ifconfig are just totally
awesome. Multiple rule-driven routing tables, easy tunnel creation, no
arbitrary limits on the number of addresses that it can display, and the
ability to assign multiple IP addresses to a single interface without
aliased interfaces, among others...

RHEL. To setup static routes you create route-<device> files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Since those are associated with specific
devices (e.g. eth0, eth1 etc...) I don't know if those would start up if the
device didn't.
