PS:- Able to set gateway for a particular interface in the network configuration file(i.e /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth*) using kickstart file.

Thanks

is this really “kickstart”, the typical auto-installation method on SLES is “autoyast”. If you’re not using that, I do recommend to look into switching to using the latter.

Hi Piyush7787,

add the following to your element:

[...]<routing> <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward> <routes config:type="list"> <route> <destination>default</destination> <device>-</device> <gateway>10.11.12.1</gateway> <netmask>-</netmask> </route> </routes> </routing> </networking>
Of course, you’ll need to adjust to your specifics…

Regards,
Jens
