In Linux box, we can find out the default gateway for active connection by using the following commands :
root@tedy-laptop:/# ip route 10.181.190.0/23 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.181.190.235 metric 1 10.189.104.0/22 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 10.189.104.105 metric 2 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 default via 10.181.190.1 dev eth0 proto static root@tedy-laptop:/#
If we use ip route
command, the gateway indicated by “via
”; and default
means all IP. It same like 0.0.0.0 in the following command :
root@tedy-laptop:/# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.181.190.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.189.104.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 10.181.190.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 root@tedy-laptop:/#
In Solaris box, we can find out the default gateway for active connection by using the following commands :
root@test-box02# cat /etc/defaultrouter 10.21.75.1 root@test-box02# root@test-box02# netstat -rn | grep default default 10.21.75.1 UG 12802016 root@test-box02#
