Error adding default gateway ...
Please check the gateway that you just set.[root@test ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
...
GATEWAY=192.168.25.1
If you were sure about IP address of the gateway was set correctly such as it's .1 suffixed but not .0, then you should set the default route to no to avoid this error.
DEFROUTE=no
Now you can restart your network again. No more rtnetlink answers: invalid argument.
