How do I add a permanent route in Linux?

Adding permanent static routes

On RHEL or CentOS, you need to modify the interface file in ‘/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts’. For example, here, we have to add routes on network interface ens192. Hence, the file we need to modify will be ‘/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-ens192’.

How do I permanently add a route in Ubuntu?

On Ubuntu, there are three ways of adding a permanent route to your Linux machine :

  1. You can add it to your Network Manager configuration file;
  2. You can edit your Netplan YAML configuration file;
  3. You can add your route to the “/etc/network/interfaces” file if you are using an old Ubuntu distribution.
