       The default gateway is determined by the network scripts which parse the <filename>/etc/sysconfig/network</filename> file first and then the network interface <literal>ifcfg</literal> files for interfaces that are <quote>up</quote>. The <literal>ifcfg</literal> files are parsed in numerically ascending order, and the last GATEWAY directive to be read is used to compose a default route in the routing table.</para>

-      The default route can thus be indicated by means of the GATEWAY directive and can be specified either globally or in interface-specific configuration files. Specifying the gateway globally has certain advantages in static networking environments, especially if more than one network interface is present. It can make fault finding simpler if applied consistently.
+      The default route can thus be indicated by means of the GATEWAY directive, either globally or in interface-specific configuration files. However, in &MAJOROS; the use of the global <filename>/etc/sysconfig/network</filename> file is deprecated, and specifying the gateway should now only be done in per-interface configuration files.

     <para>
       In dynamic network environments, where mobile hosts are managed by <application>NetworkManager</application>, gateway information is likely to be interface specific and is best left to be assigned by <systemitem class="protocol">DHCP</systemitem>. In special cases where it is necessary to influence <application>NetworkManager</application>'s selection of the exit interface to be used to reach a gateway, make use of the <command>DEFROUTE=no</command> command in the <literal>ifcfg</literal> files for those interfaces which do not lead to the default gateway.

-      Global default gateway configuration is stored in the <filename>/etc/sysconfig/network</filename> file.
