What happened to default gateway routes?

I installed Arch on a new computer today.
I used the arch-core-install-2008.04-rc-i686.iso image.
Everything seems to be working okay apart from the default routing table.
There is no default entry for 192.168.0.1. Instead I have to add it with:
# route add default gw 192.168.0.1
I have to do this everytime I reboot.
If I try and set ROUTES=(gateway) in /etc/rc.conf I get some errors at boot.
What's the story?

You would still need the gateway to be defined in rc.conf.
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

Cascading RV180 as DHCP server but pointing to another default gateway router

Hi,
My network topology is as follows:
Internet <-> Residential Gateway (RG) from ISP (OEM: Pace) [192.168.1.254/255.255.255.0] <-> RV180 [192.168.1.253/255.255.255.0] <-> SG500 switch [192.168.1.250/255.255.255.0] <-> rest of network.
I know this is a cascading LAN-to-LAN arrangement. The cable from the RG to the RV180 is from a LAN port on the RG to a LAN (not WAN) port on the RV180.
I eventually want to segment my network into a few VLANs from the RV180 down. I am aware most people would recommend DHCP on the "primary" router, but the RG is non-VLAN aware, so I figure I need to handle the DHCP off the RV180. At the same time, I have also opted not to do a LAN-to-WAN cascade because I want to retain the ability to configure the RG from the rest of the network and not have to cart a computer over to the RG to do it.
On the RG, I've disabled DHCP, and placed 192.168.1.253 in the DMZ.
On the RV180, I've enabled DHCP and put it in Router mode.
The issue is that I do not have any Internet connectivity. If I allow the computers in the network to receive IP addresses over DHCP, the default gateway that is communicated is 192.168.1.253, which is the RV180. If I configure static IPv4 information on my computers to point to 192.168.1.254, I am able to connect outside, as you would expect.
How can I get the RV180 to pass out DHCP IP addresses, but point to 192.168.1.254 as the default gateway? I thought the solution might be to create a default route (or something). I went to the static routes tab but it wouldn't let me enter 0.0.0.0 as a destination IP to route through 192.168.1.254.
Further down the line, is it possible for both the RG and the RV180 to connect directly to the SG500, along with the other nodes in my network? That way the RV180 only serves to maintain the VLANs and pass out IP addresses via DHCP, instead of having it be the choke through which everything goes through on the way out?
Sorry if there is a really obvious solution to this. It's really been floundering about in the dark so would appreciate any advice

Hi Jason, I have considered your post here for quite some time. I came to one conclusion based off your text. The entire purpose of the RV180 is a DHCP server for multiple subnet / vlan.
Here's the thing, you have a SG500 switch. Based off reading your text, this will do everything the RV180 can except the DHCP service. The limitation you are going to run in to is still going to be your gateway unit, the RG.
In the end, even with such a configuration using the RV!80 or the SG500 (layer 3), the RG will have to be configured with static routes since the RG has no concept of those other LAN segments.
Here is a post I wrote about a SG300 connecting to a RV0XX router (which doesn't understand the VLANs)
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3739083#3739083
Using the concept of this topic, you may be able to add aditional static routes on the RV180 sending each subnet to the common IP interface of the RG.
It would be very interesting to see if we could make that work.

What happened to the Gateway

A couple days ago I saw a Gateway listed on the website for $299. It had 4GB memory (3GB cache), 2.16Ghz Intel. Now, the only comparable things I see are a Gateway for $279 with only 2GB of memory and a Lenovo for $299 with 3GB. Earlier this week, it was listed as "coming soon". What happened?

Management port for management switch(2960x) / IP default-gateway for L2 management switch

1)
I am going to connect all mgmt ports of server to this access switch (L2; 2960x) like below. Then I have a management port in 2960x (FastEthernet / L3 port). As you can see below, even though one of Core switch is down, I am able to access through the other Core switch for mgmt SW. Do I need this FastEthernet port of 2960X?
Core Pri ------- Core Sec   (Core Pri 192.168.1.2 / Sec 192.168.1.3 / HSRP VIP 192.168.1.1)
            mgmt SW ----- (FastEthernet0) ------ Goes to where? I don't have RAS (Remote Access Server)

2) From server side, server put default gateway (192.168.0.1) so if destination is not known, it dumps all to default gateway. This is L3. I understand this. What about L2 default gateway from switch itself? The L2 access switch supports "ip default-gateway" command. I know that without this command still servers do not have any problems to connect to network. Then this command is for switch (2960x) itself? i.e I log into the switch and ping google.com then switch will try to resolve through DNS, but if DNS is not set up in the switch, it sends all traffic to "ip default-gateway"? Is it right?
3) If L2 (Access) switch has multiple data vlans and mgmt vlan (10.0.0.0/24 10.0.10.0/24 192.168.0.1). Then what will be the "ip default-gateway" for this switch?
Thanks for your time and knowledge.
======================== Reference from Cisco regarding ip default-gateway --------------------------------------
How to configure the ip default-gateway command on a Cisco 3550 series switch
VERSION 2
Resolution
To define a default gateway when IP routing is disabled, issue the ip default-gateway global configuration command. Then, enter the IP address of the next-hop router interface that is directly connected to the switch where a default gateway is being configured.
The default gateway receives IP packets with unresolved destination IP addresses from the switch. Once the default gateway is configured, the switch has connectivity to the remote networks with which a host needs to communicate.
Note: When the switch is configured to route with IP, it does not need to have a default gateway set.
For more information, refer to Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway.

Some clients get Default Gateway assigned from WRT300N while others don't

Two existing desktops, one wired other wireless and existing laptop wireless connects to internet fine.
Trying to add work laptops, they aquire wireless signal, gets DHCP IP address assigned but doesn't connect. Looked at the ipconfig output and shows no default gateway - router IP is set to 192.168.1.1 - with everything default, I did a reset on it.
The existing machines all have default gateway assigned. Only difference I see is work machines are XP pro. Never had problems with work laptops connecting anywhere else.
Any ideas on how to setup so work laptops can connect?

Fix your network configuration in vmware. After that a "ipconfig /renew *" or a reboot should obtain a new working lease including the default gateway. Make sure vmware does not use the 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 subnet for it's network adapters.

Wrt54g router v 8.2 -no default gateway

i have tried everything and this routher will not work! I travel with it when i come home for the holidays and normaly i have to get some help from someone to figure out how to get the cpu to work along with the wireless. at this point nothing is working. the modem is a westell mo. 6100. all the lights are working and when i plug my laptop into the ethernet cord it works fine. when the modem is pluged into the router and the ethernet cord is pluged from port one to the back of the cpu the cpu says there is an issue with its ip address being the same as something elses. the wireless ssid pops up and i can connect to it with my macbook but the internet does not work at all. I can connect to the router through 192.168.1.1 and have security setup etc. imy mac address shows up in the dhcp clients list.... in the status tab everything looks normal except the default gateway is all zeros.
anybody have any idea what is happening?
i would like to be able to get the net on the cpu as well as wireless at the same time but if i could just get the wireless to atleast work that would be great

If you are not able to see any Default gateway under the Status Tab, Because your Modem and Router Shares the Same IP address on the Network.... To make your Computers go Online from the Linksys Router... Login to the Linksys Router setup page and below the setup tab change the "Local IP address" to 192.168.2.1 and click on Save Settings... and then you need to Power Cycle your Network.....
Unplug the Power from the Router and and Modem, wait for 30sec and then first plug the power to your Modem and once all the lights are lid on your Modem, then you can plug the power to the Linksys Router..
Now check if you are able to go online from your computer Hardwired to the router.

Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0 with WRT54GX2 router

I have a WRT54GX2 router and my laptop is connected wirelessly to the router. It worked fine before but now, the connection is only local, it's not connected to the internet.
On the router, it says: Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
I think that it should say 192.168.1.1 instead.
I tried dhcp release and renew but it didn't work.
The firmware version is 1.01.22

Try to bypass the router and connect your computer directly to the modem.
Yeah... but unless you're trying to check if there's a problem with the internet connection per se, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a router?
Do what Greencross is suggesting: hard reset the router. If you must, do a firmware upgrade as well.

Configuring the default gateway in the router

hi,
i have doubt that,we config default gateway ip add in the router,is it same which will provide the ip add in the client system in network properties ?

Ajay
Your question is not clear. Most of the time when we talk about configuring default gateway on a router we are talking about configuring a default route on the router. I am not sure if this is what you are talking about or not. The default route configured on a router is not propagated to the end stations as their default gateway.
It is possible to configure DHCP on a router and in configuring DHCP it is possible to configure a gateway address (usually the interface address of the router) which will be propagated to the end station and which will be the gateway address in network properties. I am not clear whether this is what you are talking about.
If this does not answer your question then perhaps you can clarify.

Routing with more than one default gateway

Hi,
here is my problem:
usually I'm using Internet with WLAN-connection. Sometimes I want to connect my mac additionally with the LAN on work. As soon as I plug in the ethernet, there is a new item in the routing table, so I have two default-gateways - one to the WLAN-router and one to the standard-gateway of my work's LAN.
So for example I cannot take new mails from my private pop-account and for using internet I have to register a proxy-server. That's circuitous!
My idea is to create a plist-file in launchDaemons-directory, that deletes the default-gateway-item to my work's standard-gateway and adds a net-route to this only for my work's network.
Is it really a good idea or nonsens? What's a better way?
Thank you for your help!

So you want to do dual-homing.
First remember that Macs really are setup, out of the box, to be a one connection at time machine. And, there is a service order for interfaces. Which you can set in Systems Prefs Network.
However, I think this is what you are looking for:
open a terminal and do:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
This command will allow the Mac to use two defaults gateways. Then it will be up to you to populate the routing table with what route goes to what gateway.

Hi Bill,
Thank you for replying back...Yes, I was actually asking how do you set the default gateway address on the DHCP server?,
I believe I got the answer below:
To configure the DHCP default gateway option Click Start, point to Administrative Tools and then click DHCP. In the console tree, expand the applicable DHCP server, expand IPv4, and then right-click Scope Options Click Configure Options, check 003
Router, type the applicable Server name and IP address, and then click OK.
Thank you

Changing Router IP while keeping default Gateway

Hello- I have a Linksys WRT150N Wireless Router. The default (out of the box) IP Address is 192.168.1.1, which is also the default Gateway. I would like to know if it is possible to change the IP address to 192.168.1.2 while keeping the Gateway on 192.168.1.1. The problem I run into is that when I do change the IP to 192.168.1.2, the Gateway also changes to that address. I see it is possible under Automatic Configuration - DHCP to change the IP and the Subnet Mask, but not the Gateway. Any ideas? Thank you
Message Edited by thutter on 05-20-2008 05:36 AM

No it won't be possible for you to do the settings i.e., to change the ip address to 192.168.1.2...better keep in the same & do the settings.

What happens when the light goes off on an express airport router?

I was on the internet using a wireless connection with an express airport and suddenly I heard a sound and the light on the router went competelly off. I would like to know what happened. I unplugged the airport and plugged in again on another outlet but nothing happens. The airport has about 3 or 3.5 years.

It's not possible to know exactly what happened within the AirPort Express unless you carefully saw the case open along the seams to examine the internal components.
It's likely that something in the power supply section has failed since the device will not power up. Repairs...if possible.....would likely cost more than the cost of a replacment Express, but if you are handy with small electronics repairs, you could poke around a bit to take a look for something obvious.
