Add Permanent Routes in CentOS

Method One : Using nmcli command line tool

nmcli connection show

nmcli connection modify "connection-name" +ipv4.routes "network address/prefix gateway"

nmcli connection up "connection-name"

Example:

sudo nmcli connection modify "Bond connection 1" +ipv4.routes "172.31.0.0/16 192.168.0.1"

sudo nmcli connection reload

sudo nmcli connection up "Bond connection 1"

sudo nmcli connection show

After running the above commands, you can see the changes in the file:

route-connectioname

For example, if the name of the network connection is "Bond connection 1", then The name of the configuration file should be

route-Bond_connection_1

sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-Bond_connection_1

ADDRESS0=172.31.0.0

NETMASK0=255.255.0.0

GATEWAY0=192.168.0.1

Example format:

ADDRESS0=10.0.0.0

NETMASK0=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY0=192.168.1.10

ADDRESS1=192.168.50.10

NETMASK1=255.255.255.255

GATEWAY1=192.168.1.1

Finally, you need to restart the network connection using nmcli command.

sudo nmcli connection reload

sudo nmcli connection up "Bond connection 1"
