na_dgateways - default gateways list
/etc/dgateways
The use of /etc/dgateways file has been deprecated. Either
add a static default gateway in /etc/rc or enable router
discovery in routed to discover multiple default gateways.
The /etc/dgateways file is used by the old routed command
to construct a set of potential default gateways. The
file comprises a series of lines, each in the following
format:
gateway metric
gateway is the name or address of a gateway to be
used as a potential default gateway.
metric is a metric indicating the preference
weighting of the gateway. 1 is the value to use
for highest preference, 15 for the least. If no
value is specified, metric will default to the
value 1.
There can be a maximum of 128 valid entries in the
/etc/dgateways file - additional ones will be ignored,
with an error message being displayed. Duplicate gateway
names or addresses are not allowed - only the first one
encountered in the file will be added by routed to the
default gateway table, and the additional ones will produce
error messages.
Here are typical lines from the /etc/dgateways file:
main_router 1
backup_router 2
na_routed(1), na_rc(5),
