I think you want "netstat -rn". And, yes, I've already said, at least twice, that I have 2 "default gateways" I already said it is for the case where one path is down. [egreshko@meimei ~]$ netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 enp2s0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.5 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlp4s0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 enp2s0 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlp4s0 192.168.56.6 192.168.2.116 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlp4s0 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 This gives insufficient information about the usages of the "default gateways". [egreshko@meimei ~]$ ip -4 route default via 192.168.1.1 dev enp2s0 proto static metric 100 default via 192.168.2.5 dev wlp4s0 proto dhcp metric 600 192.168.1.0/24 dev enp2s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.18 metric 100 192.168.2.0/24 dev wlp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.127 metric 600 192.168.56.6 via 192.168.2.116 dev wlp4s0 proto static metric 600 192.168.122.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.1 is better for that since it shows the metric. Not that it would always be of interest but with ip you know if the route was configured via dhcp, is a static route, or was added by the kernel. > > >>> So, I do believe you are connect.

OK, but you kept saying.... "I only want to know if the device is connected to the gateway and the gateway is up." and even Samuel replied with "The only way to tell if the gateway is up is to ping it or connect to it in some way." So, I don't know what your "up" means. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
