I've been bashing my head against a wall for a few days trying to figure this out: My ifconfig is:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:56:BB:XX:XX
          inet addr:192.168.36.132  Bcast:192.168.37.255  Mask:255.255.254.0

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:56:BB:XX:XX
          inet addr:116.xx.xx.xx    Bcast:116.xx.xx.xx    Mask:255.255.255.192

When I try and add a static route to go out of eth0, I get the following error:

servername-test:/ # route add -net 10.248.12.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 gw 192.168.36.254 dev eth0 
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

My Default gateway is:

servername-test:~ # netstat -anr

You have not declared 192.168.36.0/23 link local, despite the fact you have an address assigned for it, no link-local route appears to be listed in your routes.

192.168.36.0    192.168.36.254  255.255.254.0   UG        0 0          0 eth0
192.168.36.0/23 via 192.168.36.254 dev eth0

Instead its declared 192.168.36.0/23 should be passed to the gateway 192.168.36.254 which technically according to the rest of the routing table does not appear to be a neighbour (the kernel has no idea how to get to 192.168.36.254).

There should be no gateway assigned for 192.168.36.0/23 because according to your IP address 192.168.36.132/23 it is probably meant to be a a link-local range (neighbours directly responsive via ARP).

You should have an entry such as this instead:

192.168.36.0    0.0.0.0  255.255.254.0   U        0 0          0 eth0
192.168.36.0/23 dev eth0 scope link

To fix, you need to remove the gateway declaration for 192.168.36.0/23 and replace with an entry such as:

ip route add 192.168.36.0/23 dev eth0

Edit: I had added this answer before formatting, the problem is about network system of computer, there was a problem about network card. None of the solutions worked. I had to change the motherboard. Edit2: You may have connected the cable to the wrong place, double check your cables.

If so, forget command line, just append the Ethernet file entry directly and 'service network restart'. That works! I feel computer silly, because it irritated me first - then same route works perfectly while adding forcefully into the file.

(Qouting) Whevener will add the default route need to specify a metric of 1 and execute the route add command:

Execute the below command to add default route in HPUX:

#route add default 192.168.178.1 1
add net default: gateway 192.168.178.1

Default route is added.

According to this http://expertisenpuru.com/1-easy-command-to-add-default-route-in-hpux/
