Vsphere Replication appliance persistant route

[mcannella7]

How do I add a persistent route to the VR appliance?  I need it to have a specific route this way every time it reboots I do not lose the route.  I know how to do with ESXi but the appliance is a bit different.  I am running 8.1.1 appliance

Thanks

I believe the replication appliance now runs on PhotonOS, so I would follow this guide or similar:

See section on "Static routes"

Obviously backup any files before editing for a good rollback point

Add the route details in the below file to make it persistent across reboots.

# /etc/systemd/network/XX-eth#.network

Where X can take any number depending on your system and # is the number of the interface you want to add the static route to.

Add a new section at the end of the file in the format as below:

[Route]
Gateway=10.20.30.40
Destination=192.168.0.0/16
