Re: delete default route and add custom one

I agree this setup looks weird or plain wrong to me
Yes, this does work if I add the route manually
And, no I'm not the cisco guy :) I'm the Linux guy. I will try talking to the networking people to see if we can talk on a separate network

Thanks a lot & Regards

Um, yes, that's the way IP networking works. You've created an
interface with an IP of 172.30.0.3 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0, that
means you've told the system that 172.30.0.3 can reach all 65534 host
WITHOUT a router. Then you trying to override that by adding a route by
claiming that the other 65533 (every host except for this one) is
reachable only via a router. That's not really a valid configuration in
my book so it's doesn't really surprise me.

Are you able to make this work by manually adding the route? Are you
able to post the "router" config. What networks is this "router"
actually routing.

Later,
Tom
