Re: [LARTC] simple routing query

How do I disable the zeroconf route so that the system will boot without 
the 169.254.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 route?
by Cynthia Davis
Symptom:
Every time the system boots, the zeroconf route (169.254.0.0) is 
enabled. You manually disable it by turning off the firewall and remove 
the route with 169.254.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 using the route command.
Example output of the route with the zeroconf route enables would like 
similar to the following:
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
10.15.50.0      *               255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0

Solution:
To disable the zeroconf route during system boot, edit the 
/etc/sysconfig/network file and add the following NOZEROCONF value to 
the end of the file:

NETWORKING=YES
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NOZEROCONF=yes
