Public bug reported: Since f38fa41317602908139aa96e930b634f65e39555 , default routes get added to both ifcfg-* and route-* and route6-* files. (ii) Default routes should only go to ifcfg-* files, otherwise the information is redundant. (i) Also, in dual stack networks, this redundant "feature" isn't working correctly, only the IPv6 route is added to both route6-* and ifcfg-*, but not the IPv4 route.
(i) First of all, let me explain why only the IPv6 route was added to route6-* and not the IPv4 route to route-* sysconfig.py (...) for route in subnet.get('routes', []): is_ipv6 = subnet.get('ipv6') if _is_default_route(route): if ( (subnet.get('ipv4') and route_cfg.has_set_default_ipv4) or (subnet.get('ipv6') and route_cfg.has_set_default_ipv6) ): raise ValueError("Duplicate declaration of default " "route found for interface '%s'" % (iface_cfg.name)) # NOTE(harlowja): ipv6 and ipv4 default gateways gw_key = 'GATEWAY0' nm_key = 'NETMASK0' addr_key = 'ADDRESS0' (...) The above will obviously overwrite GATEWAY0, NETMASK0, ADDRESS0 when there is an IPv4 default route and an IPv6 default route. (ii) Now, interestingly, we don't want to add these routes to the route-* and route6-* files, because this would only result in duplicate default route declaration (we only need it in the ifcfg-* files, not in the route-* or route6-*). Which means that this can be fixed by changing indentation for the following lines (moving all lines marked with "+" exactly 4 characters to the right).
