I want to add a static route on my Centos7.5/cPanel v76.0.0 server, this works: ip route add 192.168.101.0/24 via 192.168.35.1 dev ens224 How do I turn this into a permanent route? I have tried creating /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-ens224, no joy

  your method is correct But I tested on one of our own boxes and no joy as well Must be something to do with the private network being on a dumb switch and no real gateway set up (guessing) or that the network manager is messing it up workaround add ip route add 192.168.101.0/24 via 192.168.35.1 dev ens224 to /etc/rc.d/rc.local chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local reboot
