defaultrouter(4)
NAME
defaultrouter - configuration file for default router(s)
SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultrouter
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/defaultrouter file specifies a IPv4 host's default
router(s).
The format of the file is as follows:
IP_address
...
The /etc/defaultrouter file can contain the IP addresses or
hostnames of one or more default routers, with each entry on
its own line. If you use hostnames, each hostname must also
be listed in the local /etc/hosts file, because no name
services are running at the time that defaultrouter is read.
Lines beginning with the ``#'' character are treated as com-
ments.
The default routes listed in this file replace those added
by the kernel during diskless booting. An empty
/etc/defaultrouter file will cause the default route added
by the kernel to be deleted.
Use of a default route, whether received from a DHCP server
or from /etc/defaultrouter, prevents a machine from acting
as an IPv4 router, even if that machine does not have an
/etc/notrouter file.
