Dear all,

I want to make the startup script which run the command “ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0”.  
But I can’t find the method in the Guide.  
Could you tell me the method of making startup script?

Best regard,

Hi and welcome to the Forum 🙂  
If using wicked, you should just be able to go into YaST Network Settings and add. Else just create a simple systemd service to call your script after the network interface is up and running.

```auto
#!/bin/bash
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0

# /etc/systemd/system/add_my_route.service
[Unit]
Description=Add route to eth0
After=wickedd.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/path/to/script/add_my_route

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

```

Can’t we set the Gateway on the Yast?

Thank you and regards,
