I have two machines. One runs arch linux and another runs fedora. arch uses iproute2. so i need a conversion for iproute2 from route. this command will set the default interface to ppp0.

I have searched for documentation but I have still no clue.

How shall do this in iproute2

route add default ppp0

ip route add default via 192.0.2.254

You can't specify a device for a route, it has to be an address. Generally you shouldn't have to do this at all; pppd should take care of adding a default route if it is configured appropriately.

  • I have two NICs, eth0 and ppp0, so i need to bond a default interface.

  • No you don't. Routing doesn't work like that.

    It's entirely valid to specify a device as a default route. It's only valid when that interface is a point-to-point though.

  • so basically, each line output of ip route is syntactically-valid input to ip route add (?) Oct 2, 2017 at 17:09
