Configure Static Routes In Debian or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Debian / Ubuntu Linux Persistence Static Routing

Open configuration file /etc/network/interfaces
# cat /etc/network/interfaces
Output:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
up route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.1
down route del -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.1

Debian / Ubuntu Linux static routing for two interfaces:
