Assigning default gateway on jail startup.

[Cd228]

Hey.

I am trying to setup a default gateway in my jail.
I can do this by simply typing

Code:

route change default xx.xx.xx.xx

On reboot it resets, so I tried adding then following line in the /etc/rc.conf file:

Code:

defaultrouter="xx.xx.xx.xx"

When I reboot the jail, it is still the old ip-address.
If I use the following code after booting:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/routing restart

it updates to the new IP-address. However, after restarting it resets back to the old ip-address

How can I make it happen each time I boot the jail?

Normally, any changes done to the jail need to be done when the jail is off.

In your case you can use the CLI with the following command executed outside the jail:

iocage set defaultrouter="xx.xx.xx.xx" your_jail

When I use this outside the jail it states:
Property: defaulter router has been updated to xx.xx.xx.xx
But when I start the jail, it stil has the standard gateway.

Shouldn't the content of the /etc/rc.conf run on startup? Or have I misunderstood something?

How are you addressing the jail in the first place?

 

[Cd228]

in my case it is a plex jail.
In the above example I wrote:
iocage set defaultrouter="xx.xx.xx.xx" plex

Please screenshot the Basic Properties tab of the jail.

Set a net mask.

I cannot get this to work either. I set the netmask to 24.
I have tried all ipv4 interfaces, and non assigns the correct default router

DHCP is set active ???

I have also tried with it manually configured.
I would prefer if I could use DHCP.

Is there a way to simply run the rc file on boot? When I restart the routing using the command:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/routing restart

it updates with the correct default gateway. But why doesn't it do this on boot?
